Network Performance Monitoring
IT departments are working full-time to manage data centers, provision new applications, and respond to help desk requests. With growing network complexities, system administrators are more than challenged when it comes to assuring a healthy network.
Now, more than ever, IT managers and network administrators need solutions that let them monitor the entire network and troubleshoot problems wherever they are occurring, quickly and efficiently, so that business and other essential IT operations run smoothly. An accurate picture of key network metrics as they change over time can be an invaluable tool.
Not only is this essential for resource planning, but it can also help managers avoid trouble before it starts. This can be as simple as identifying new applications that may soon be using enough bandwidth to have a serious impact on network performance. Fluctuations in the network resources used by a particular process may be transient, or they may signal a real change in user behavior. Good trending statistics can help to distinguish one case from the other, and help network managers plan accurately to meet user needs.
InfoSight's network analysis, monitoring and performance management solutions give you unprecedented visibility into your entire network infrastructure. We help you:
- Collect network performance and utilization information to support service level agreements
- Identify network elements responsible for performance degradation
- Definitively determine required network changes to improve performance or support increasing demands

What is Network
Performance Monitoring?
Networking performance monitoring is the process of checking the computers, systems, and services that comprise a network. The performance monitor is a utility used to track a range of processes and give a real time graphical display of the results. This tool can be used to assist you with the planning of upgrades, tracking of processes that need to be optimized, monitoring results of tuning and configuration scenarios, and the understanding of a workload and its effect on resource usage to identify bottlenecks. Bottlenecks can occur on practically any element of the network and may be caused by a malfunctioning resource, the system not having enough resources, a program that dominates a particular resource. In fact, 40% of network utilization is considered a bottleneck. Network performance monitoring allows you to maintain a robust network and even to improve upon the network.
