New in Cisco ANA Release 3.7.2

• Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): Inclusion of an embedded database and support for Linux servers signiﬁcantly reduces

ANA deployment and maintance cost.

• Simpliﬁed deployment and maintenance: New, independent virtual network element (VNE) driver packages provide timely

support of device software and hardware releases independent of ANA releases. The introduction of an integrated Gateway

High Availability solution simpliﬁes high availability deployment.

• Improved scale: Triple concurrent user support and an 80 percent increase in the device number in element management

conﬁguration.

• Optimized communication with devices: Event-based VNEs reduce the polling load on the device and provide timely updates

of network conﬁguration.

• Enhanced element management: Improved usability and extended device coverage in conﬁguration and image management;

secured communication of events information with the introduction of secure syslog.
