Cisco® Active Network Abstraction (ANA) provides service providers and other carrier-grade network operators with a comprehensive solution for network element and service management. Cisco ANA includes discovery, monitoring, event de-duplication, and root-cause analysis. Cisco ANA supports all major Cisco service provider network elements, as well as a wide variety of network technologies including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Carrier Ethernet, and Cisco Unified Radio Access Network (RAN) Backhaul reference architectures. This paper provides at a glance the performance and scaling information for ANA 3.7.3. More detailed information can be obtained by contacting ask_ana_pm@cisco.com.
