Discovery Answers

Know Your Network

1 Discovery what is on the network

Why Network Discovery

• First critical piece of infrastructure visualization

• If you don’t know, you can manage

• Allows unmanaged devices to become manageable

• Understand what is connected to what

• Must be thorough scan

• Must leverages various discovery techniques for a complete network database

• Recommends optimal monitors and data collections settings by on device role

• Always on discovery

Network Discovery

Device Summary

• Quick visual overview of devices and status

• Drill in capabilities to device performance details

• Actions, remote control, tools and settings

• Auto created and drawn based on connected devices

• Color indicators, stats pop-ups, background images

• Device drill down capabilities

• Populate various maps with the devices you want to view

Network Mapping

2 Analytics real-time access to changes

Why Analytics

• Real-time is required for proactive administration

• Identify abnormal network utilization, performance, and quality to shorten mean time to repair (MTTR)

• Root Cause Identification

• Establishes baseline that represents the regular and expected activity of a device and network

• Multiple perspectives into network performance

• Network performance • Fault management • Multi-location views

• Immediate visibility into critical

device information: – CPU load – Network interface traffic – Latency – Other key performance

indicators (KPIs)

Performance Dashboards

• At-a-glance answers to questions relating to bandwidth problems

• Double-click drilldown analysis to find out which switch / port / machines are responsible

• Quickly identify network congestion and bandwidth consumption

• Drill-down into: – Applications – Conversations – Domains – Endpoints – Protocols – Interfaces

Monitoring And Service Delivery

Use Case Scenario: Intermittent Application Failure

Challenge Enterprise IT systems rely on teams of specialists, each with different domain expertise. When an application fails due to intermittent loss of network connectivity, the applications group may not have the tools necessary to diagnose the issue.

Solution Foglight NMS adds critical visibility into flapping ports on network devices and allows administrators to correlate network events to application performance issues.

Benefit Application Performance issues that could not previously be explained, can be resolved leading to improved end user experience.

Use Case Scenario: Applications run slow

Challenge The performance of business critical applications accessed across the network are impacted by non-work related activities like web surfing, streaming You Tube video and Pandora.

Solution Foglight NMS provides the traffic data necessary to analyze the amount of bandwidth consumed by non business critical applications so that administrators can refocus critical resources where they are needed.

Benefit Increased network bandwidth ensures that business critical applications will perform well.
