One of the biggest factors impacting your network performance is network traffic and bandwidth usage. With more personal devices hogging enterprise network bandwidth, network managers are deploying new policies to maintain the quality of service. Although there are multiple ways to manage your network, flow-based network monitoring is the most sought after approach to managing todays’ networks. Download this white paper to gain a better understanding of these technologies and how network administrations can take advantage of the flow technology that is built into routers and switches.

As networking has matured, the focus of engineering and operations has shifted from connectivity to optimization, and from availability to performance. Rising interest in understanding the broader operations picture has also transformed the demands of management tools and technologies. In parallel, there has been no break in the long-standing mantra for doing more with less – both in terms of monetary and human resources. These shifts are prompting re-evaluations of monitoring strategies and products in organizations of all sizes. This ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES® (EMA™) white paper examines the importance of finding extensible, cost-effective network performance management solutions that fit deployment needs beyond the NOC to extend value into the datacenter, and thus deliver greater Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits.
