Network Visibility

Real-time monitoring for networks and applications

Poor application performance can negatively affect productivity and company revenue. To overcome this challenge, organizations need comprehensive, end-to-end visibility that enables effective troubleshooting of network performance issues. As part of the Application Performance Visibility Service, Network Visibility provides a real-time and historical view of network performance, including protocol analysis and utilization metrics of key network elements such as bandwidth and Class of Service (CoS) service levels. These metrics help to resolve problems that affect network performance. Key Business Benets _ Improve productivity and end-user satisfaction with quicker identication of problems and reduced Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) _ Decrease costs by eliminating unnecessary technician dispatches to remote locations _ Ensure effective resource allocation with detailed, real-time and historical reporting _ Leverage identical views of performance regardless of location, helping global enterprises overcome language barriers and nonintegrated toolsets Key Features Network Visibility includes: _ Real-time layers 1-7 troubleshooting functionality _ Proactive identication of application and network issues, regardless of location _ Immediate visibility of bandwidth usage, top talkers and applications

Network Visibility

_ Detailed bandwidth analysis across every site in the network _ Real-time performance information on the physical circuit, port, end-to-end circuit and applications _ Robust pre- and post-packet capture ltering to focus on critical information _ Validation of carriers service level performance _ Alarms that indicate network downtime, performance degradation or power outage _ Scalability with choice to add Application Visibility or VoIP Visibility service options Real-time Network-wide Monitoring Network Visibility collects and lters port and circuit information, and displays data in a simple, incisive format to facilitate quicker problem identication and resolution. Network Troubleshooting Network Visibility includes comprehensive, correlated views from the physical to the application layer, allowing IT managers to resolve degradation or outages that currently affect network performance. Back-in-Time Troubleshooting Network Visibility delivers a complete troubleshooting and capacity-planning feature that facilitates identication of intermittent and chronic issues by providing on-demand reporting and visibility of the application and network performance, including SLA parameters such as latency, availability and packet loss.

Protocol Analysis Tracking at Every Location Network Visibility includes a full-function protocol analyzer at every network location that traces, lters and decodes the most common network protocols for gaining in-depth visibility into subtle problems such as incorrect conguration and timeouts, facilitating quicker problem resolution and improved application availability. Class of Service Monitoring As enterprises deploy private IP/MPLS-based VPNs, Network Visibility prioritizes key applications, monitoring usage in relation to customizable thresholds on a per class basis. Network Visibility also enables IT managers to identify unknown and miscongured applications, optimize bandwidth resources, and verify carrier CoS service level performance.
