An old adage states that you cannot manage what you don’t know. Do you know what devices are on your network, where they are located, how they are configured, what they are connected to, and how they are affected by changes and failures? Today’s network infrastructure is becoming more and more complex, while demands on the Network Administrator to ensure network availability and performance are higher than ever. Business critical systems depend upon you managing your entire network infrastructure and delivering high-quality service 24/7, 365 days a year. So how do you keep the pace? Learn how real-time visibility into your entire network infrastructure provides the power to manage your assets with greater control.

Know Your Network

7. 1
Discovery
what is on the
network

8. 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

9. • 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

Analytics
real-time access to
changes

13. 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

14. • 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

15. • 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

18. 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.

19. 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.
