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 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 Manager
console 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.
