| The Complete Picture for monitoring, analyzing and troubleshooting networks and applications Managing today's networks requires a range of visibility - from overall network health, to end-user experience, to in-depth "on-the-wire" analysis. Performance needs to be monitored and root causes pinpointed for key devices, links and applications anywhere on the network. To do this with confidence, you need a complete picture of what's happening on your network. Only the OptiView Management Suite delivers the breadth of visibility and depth of analysis you need for monitoring, analyzing and troubleshooting networks and applications.
Today’s network management tools: An incomplete picture When it comes to managing network and application performance, typical network management systems (NMS) only reveal part of the picture. | Lack proper perspective
Central polling misses performance from the user’s perspective. Without measuring from multiple points on the network and from remote sites, engineers do not see the actual experience of end users. A false sense of security
A ping/port test will indicate what devices are “up” but not whether they’re performing optimally. NMS often fail to monitor and analyze true network and application performance because they rely on measuring proxies instead of actual application traffic Lack troubleshooting and in-depth analysis
With an NMS, network engineers get an overview of what is happening on the network but cannot find the root cause of performance problems or see how an application is behaving because they lack packet level, “on-the-wire” visibility. Risks of an incomplete picture: - Reduced user productivity: Applications are slow and unreliable
- High down-time costs: Problems take longer to resolve
- Unnecessary expenses: Organizations buy new infrastructure devices and/or bandwidth to solve performance issues
- Reduced IT staff efficiency: Projects delayed as more time is spent troubleshooting
- Disasatisfaction with IT: Inconsistent service leads to unhappy users

Isolate and resolve problems from your desk | TROUBLESHOOT
Go to the problem area to solve it |
| - Monitor key devices, links, paths, applications for performance, not just availability
- Easily identify and prioritize the top issues in the network
- See interactive, web-based reports that show short- and long-term trends about network utilization, traffic types, errors and more
- Get automated daily reports to help prove compliance with SLAs
| - See actual network traffic, not just proxies or statistics
- Measure what end-users are experiencing to see performance from their perspective
- Collaborate and share reports to “prove it’s not the network” and assign ownership
- Solve more problems from your desk to save time, speed resolution
| - Portable view into the network from wherever you are – wired or wireless
- Expert-assisted analysis for guided troubleshooting
- Discovery, traffic analysis and “on the wire” packet analysis in one tool simplifies and speeds network and application troubleshooting

Improve your IT organization, not just network performance OMS helps network staff and management more effectively manage daily operations, ensure uptime, optimize assets and ensure compliance. With IT meeting departmental objectives, the organization is that much closer to meeting its overall objectives, from increasing productivity to reducing risk, from improving asset utilization to lowering costs. | Return on investment, return of sanity. ![]() Before making any investment in new tools, it only makes sense to study the return on investment. In addition to an impressive ROI, OptiView Management Suite delivers unprecedented ROS – Return of Sanity.
Because engineers can get the complete picture across their network, as well as in-depth analysis “on-the-wire,” the networking staff is able to solve more problems faster, improving the productivity of the entire workforce. By being proactive – instead of reactive – staff can work to ensure that performance is enhanced across the enterprise. With network management more efficient and effective, engineers are able to provide management with a clearer understanding of overall performance. Managing the network with fewer vendors and fewer tools simplifies support and training. All of which results in peace of mind for network engineers on the front lines and managers behind the scenes. | |
