Common Open KVM Use Cases
Troubleshooting VM
General purpose virtual machine with custom and open-source troubleshooting tools.
(Wireshark, Speedtest, etc.)
Network Functions
Common network functions such as Print Server, Domain Controller, File Storage, etc.
Analytics
Network Analysis and Application Performance Monitoring without a dedicated probe.
Device Customization
Augment the capabilities of the host platform in some way. (Custom encryption,
business-based routing, specialized API interface)
Real-World Example
Example: Hybrid Services – Cisco IT

Problem: How to consistently monitor and troubleshoot a growing set of
business critical hybrid services (on-premise + cloud-based) ?
Solution: Detect and Alert via ThousandEyes Probes:

• Leverage existing Cloud-based Probes
• Deploy Mac-Mini Probes into key Locations
• Deploy Virtual Probes into key Locations
(IOS XE Virtual-Service on ISR 4451)
• Reduce MTTT -43% and MTTR -8%

• Network Discovery,
Operation and Management
• Open application built

involvement.
• Terrific option for low-
footprint branch
management
What do I need to add to an ISR4K system?
Memory
• Service Containers (currently) REQUIRE additional DRAM beyond the 4GB system
default
• Additional DRAM beyond 4GB will be available to a KVM application
• Example: 8GB DRAM will have 4GB available to Service Containers
• Example: 16GB DRAM will have 12GB available to Service Containers
Storage
• No storage is included by default and applications do not have access to bootflash.

• Options include internal MSATA SSD on 4300 Series, NIM-SSD or NIM-HD on all
ISR4K.
• Smaller sizes and lower reliability SSD options at lower price will be available in CY15.
Note: Newer ISRs ship with 8GB DRAM and often do not require more.
