Cisco IOS Software Embedded Event Manager Harnesses Network Intelligence to Increase Availability

Overview

Organizations are increasingly reliant on advanced information systems to build products, serve customers, and achieve goals. IT departments are under pressure to ensure continuous access and Cisco customers frequently cite the availability of critical systems as a high priority. Because today's systems, data stores, and user communities are often highly distributed, combining effective network management with a resilient network increases the availability of critical systems. The Cisco IOS Software Infrastructure provides a method of triggering pre-programmed local actions upon detection of specific events. Cisco IOS Software Embedded Event Manager harnesses network intelligence through event detectors and takes action according to pre-defined policies, resulting in increased manageability, control, and resiliency.
