Dear Muhammad :)
Have a look at this:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5739/ps5209/prod_qas0900aecd802d295e.html

*Q.* What is the difference between Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and
Response System (MARS), and CiscoWorks SIMS?
 *A.* Cisco Security MARS is the appliance-based product line and CiscoWorks
SIMS is the software-based product line. The two products have unique
functions and capabilities that can meet customers' different needs.
Customers can contact Cisco security sales representatives for respective
detailed product information.
 *Q.* Are Cisco Security MARS and CiscoWorks SIMS competing products?
 *A.* No. Both products have been successfully deployed in their respective
customers. Cisco customers from different market segments (commercial,
medium enterprises, large and global enterprises, and managed security
service providers) have found these two products are well positioned to meet
their specific security monitoring and mitigation needs. Customers can
contact Cisco security sales representatives for assistance.
So contact your local SE for this, I'm sure he will be able to help.

Regards

Farrukh
