- 2. 2 Abstract Even the most intelligent network needs management to visualize application traffic flows at the network level and know how well application service levels are being met. The CA Application-Driven Performance Management solution leverages key performance indicators from Cisco’s Intelligent WAN solutions, which add value to your network through application visibility and control, application acceleration (WAN optimization), and intelligent path selection. By enabling you to gain visibility into application performance from a network perspective, you can make proactive, data-driven decisions regarding network capacity, QoS policies, infrastructure investments and planned application rollouts.
