IT managers face the daily challenge of
managing critical business applications across
their network infrastructure. This activity is
more than just monitoring for up/down status
and troubleshooting circuit and router issues.
Today's IT Manager needs to be able to
troubleshoot performance problems, perform
capacity analysis and planning and generate
internal usage statistics for chargebacks to
company departments. In order to effectively
manage performance and utilization, the IT
Manager needs the ability to accurately
measure and analyze traffic across the enterprise network.
Many IT Managers utilize SNMP to routinely
collect usage statistics from routers and track
utilization on WAN and LAN ports. While SNMP
provides excellent statistics on the macro level,
it does not provide the level of detail that is
often required to completely resolve many
network issues. LogixNMC - Flow Reports will
help with root cause analysis and application management.
The LogixNMC Flow Reporting System gives the IT
Manager the ability to collect IP network traffic
data utilizing a Cisco router as a probe and has
the following advantages:
- No capital investment
- Simple configuration
- Track all IP applications
- Low lifecycle maintenance
- Intuitive, detailed reporting
LogixNMC - Flow Reports allow you to quickly
identify top talkers, utilization by application,
rogue applications, utilization by AS number on
MPLS networks, utilization by Class of Service
and many more statistics critical in managing
application performance.
