Get Started with Autonomous DEM For Remote Sites

• Prisma Access Autonomous DEM for Remote Networks is only supported if the remote network is a Prisma SD-WAN device.
• ADEM for Remote Networks is only supported when Aggregate Bandwidth is enabled on Prisma Access.
• Purchase Autonomous DEM license for Remote Networks.
  If you purchased an Autonomous DEM license with a new Prisma Access subscription, you must activate ADEM during the Prisma Access activation process. If you purchased an add-on Autonomous DEM license for an existing Prisma Access subscription, activation will happen automatically.
  With an active ADEM Remote Networks license, each SD-WAN device at a remote site is capable of running a certain number of synthetic tests based on the size of the SD-WAN device.

  Prisma SD-WAN Device Model	Application Tests Supported
  Hardware Models
  ION 1000	Up to 20
  ION 1200	Up to 20
  ION 2000	Up to 30
  ION 3000	Up to 40
  ION 5200	Up to 40
  ION 7000	Up to 50
  ION 9000	Up to 75
  Virtual Models
  ION 3102v	Up to 30
  ION 3104v	Up to 40
  ION 3108v	Up to 50

  Each platform can run up to a defined number of application tests presuming each application is configured to use a maximum of 4 paths. If the number of paths configured per application increases, it will reduce the overall number of application tests per platform. The Administrator has the flexibility to enable application performance monitoring on active paths only while creating the application tests on the ADEM portal.
  Based on the application forwarding policy configured on Prisma SD-WAN, ADEM will monitor all available paths for individual applications. Each path monitored, whether it is an application’s active or backup path is considered as one test. Hence, if an application is monitored for three paths, it will be considered as three tests, but if you also monitor the backup paths for that application, then it will be considered as 6 tests- three tests for the active paths and three for the backup paths. So, you must decide whether to monitor both active and the backup paths for applications or only the active paths. The more paths you monitor per application, the less number of applications you will be able to monitor from a SD-WAN remote site.
• You should already have allocated Remote Networks bandwidth on the compute locations in Prisma Access.
• You must have enabled all Prisma Access remote network configuration to securely connect Prisma SD-WAN remote sites. For details on configuring aggregate bandwidth, refer to the documentation for Panorama Managed Prisma Access or Cloud Managed Prisma Access respectively.
• You must be running these mandatory versions of the following software:

  Software Name	Mandatory Version
  Prisma Access (Cloud Managed or Panorama)	2.2 Preferred
  Prisma SD-WAN	5.6.1-b13
  CloudBlades (Prisma Access Cloud Managed)	3.1.1
  CloudBlades (Prisma Access Panorama Managed)	2.1.2

• Whether you are using ADEM on Panorama Managed Prisma Access or Cloud Managed Prisma Access, you can manage ADEM from the Strata Cloud Manager console.
• Use the Autonomous DEM Summary and Applications dashboards within the Strata Cloud Managerconsole to get a sense of the baseline digital experience score for your SASE environment as a whole, and for each individual application.
  Even before you begin configuring application tests to monitor specific applications, you can use the Applications dashboard to get an overall view of the applications in use across your network and use this information to decide which applications you want to monitor.
• Add application tests for the remote sites that you want to monitor.
• Use the ADEM dashboards to monitor the digital experience of users, remote sites, and applications across your SASE environment and use the information to troubleshoot issues as they arise.
