Network and application performance issues can cost your business millions of dollars in lost revenue and productivity. Without persistent, real-time visibility of the infrastructure, Network Operations teams lack the information to predict potential business disruption and prove network and application performance. Join us on November 6 at 7:00 a.m. PT and hear from Lee Doyle, Principal Analyst at Doyle Research, about the solutions to today’s performance visibility challenges, including: •Trends affecting traffic visibility, such as application mobility, network upgrades, and data center virtualization and consolidation •Best practices for managing Quality of Service and reducing failure scenarios •Critical criteria to consider when selecting performance management solutions In addition, hear from Richard Trujillo (Emulex Product Marketing) and Scott Frymire (SevOne Product Marketing) how the joint deployment of the Emulex EndaceFlow™ 3040 NetFlow Generator Appliance and SevOne’s Network Performance Management solution lowers time to resolution by reliably monitoring the makeup of the traffic traversing your most critical links.

Networks are Critical to the Business
Networks deliver applications and information throughout the organization
Networks must have high performance, low latency, reliable, and secure
Traffic patterns are changing: more east-west, less north-south
Network/data center downtime is expensive
Managing/securing the network remains challenging and costly (OPEX)

Network Visibility Benefits
Tools help IT/network staff with routine monitoring tasks
Automation
Better understand and tune the network; respond to dynamic traffic patterns
Monitor All Traffic
Supports offload of traffic analysis from production switches
Performance
Improved network management and reduced operational costs
Improved OPEX
Identify and isolate “bad” traffic, ability to handle DDoS attacks
Security
6Doyle Research, 2013
Product Requirements Improved performance monitoring = visibility at scale
Secure networks – leveraging behavior analysis to detect traffic anomalies
Monitoring solution must support complete analysis of 10GbE traffic flow (high performance)
Move from reactive to proactive management with new tools – software defined applications
Ease of installation, ease of operation, cost effective
Support for standards and third-party applications
