QoS rollouts were once 6-month projects costing over $200K, which we would repeat twice a year. With Cisco APIC EM Easy QoS, we will go from months to minutes with nominal costs.

Cisco s QOS Strategy
Objective: Closing the Application Experience Loop Defining the Intent Expressing Business-Level Intent Validating the Outcome DNA Analytics Quantitatively Correlating the Delivered Outcome with the Expressed Business-Intent Delivering the Intent DNA Automation Translating Business Intent into Network Policies and Transport CTHNMS-1002 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Where to Begin? Always, Always, Always Start with Defining Your Business Goals of QoS Guaranteeing voice quality meets enterprise standards Ensuring a high Quality of Experience (QoE) for video applications Improving user productivity by minimizing network response times Managing business applications that are bandwidth hogs Identifying and de-prioritizing non-business applications Improving network availability by protecting the control planes Hardening the network infrastructure to deal with abnormal events CTHNMS-1002 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Levels of QoS Policy Abstraction Strategic vs. Tactical Strategic QoS Policy (WHY) reflects business intent not constrained by any technical or administrative limitation end-to-end Tactical QoS Policy (HOW) expresses the strategic business intent with maximum fidelity limited by tactical constraints, including: Media (e.g. WLAN has only 4 levels of service) Platform (e.g. Catalyst 3750 has only 4 hardware queues) Interface (e.g. T1 WAN link has limited bandwidth) Role (e.g. CE may need to map into reduced sub-set of SP Classes-of-Service) CTHNMS-1002 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

EasyQOS Application
Converting Business Intent into Tactical Policies The principle goal of the tactical QoS policy is to express the strategic QoS policy with maximum fidelity EM QoS design best practices will be used to generate platform-specific configurations QoS features will be selectively enabled if they directly contribute to expressing the strategic policy on a given platform Wireless AP Trust Boundary PEP 4Q (WMM) Catalyst 4500 1P7Q1T Nexus 7700 F3: 1P7Q1T ASR/ISRs MQC Wireless AP Trust Boundary PEP 4Q (WMM) Catalyst 3650 Trust Boundary PEP 2P6Q3T Catalyst 6500 1P3Q4T 1P7Q4T 2P6Q4T WLC PEP Catalyst 2960-X Trust Boundary PEP 1P3Q3T CTHNMS-1002 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Summary and References
Summary Cisco EasyQoS is a simple, highly secure, and scalable automated network QoS policy deployment solution EasyQoS is business-intent driven, requiring network operators only to confirm which applications are relevant to their business, while abstracting all platform-specific implementation details Cisco APIC-EM is the central controller which supports Northbound APIs that can interface with applications (via REST APIs) and also Southbound APIs to translate application requirement to platform-specific configurations EasyQoS deploys industry-standard best-practices via Cisco Validated Designs Solution Summary Provides end-to-end orchestration of QoS Simple and easy to deploy Works for and both greenfield and brownfield deployments Business-intent driven End-to-End provisioning done in minutes Reduces time to onboard new applications and allows SLA compliance Provides dynamic, lightweight and accurate applicationaware classification Support wireless & BYOD devices without client software upgrades Benefits CTHNMS-1002 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
