 Packet Optical Transport end-to-end management in a single, easy to use application

 Cisco Prime Optical is a carrier-class, multitechnology management system that integrates the end-to-end management of legacy transport networks and packet optical transport networks. Cisco Pre Optical helps communication service providers (CSPs) deliver the capacity and quality of service (QoS) required to support the delivery of rich-content-based services and high-bandwidth applications. Cisco Prime Optical 9.3 is the evolution of Cisco Transport Manager and includes all of the powerful capabilities of that offering combined with significant enhancements. Cisco Prime Optical simplifies provisioning and network management and reduces overall costs by providing operators with:

         Scalability and growth in a robust carrier-class element management system, designed for reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), that can scale to thousands of optical devices
         Increased productivity with a multitechnology management system that integrates the inventory, performance, and configuration management functions in a single application
         Extendibility and easy OSS integration using an EMS system with a standards-based Northbound Interface that provides predefined integration with market-leading OSSs, like Tivoli Netcool for Cisco Prime
         Built-in intelligence, helps operators quickly accomplish tasks when performing end-to-end circuit provisioning by automatically selecting and implementing an optimal route that uses resource diversity  on working and standby paths
