End-to-end performance monitoring allows network engineers to:

• Establish normal application behavior with intelligent baselines
• Classify poor performance with thresholds for identifying degraded applications
• Gather additional performance information by launching investigations

Retrospective network analysis allows network engineers to:

• Instantly go back in time to review past events
• Eliminate the need to recreate or duplicate a network problem
• Capture everything traversing the wire, even on 10 GbE networks

When did the problem occur?
            SuperAgent shows when performance becomes unacceptable

Where did it happen?
            SuperAgent isolates the source delay to an individual application,
            server, or network

What network conditions led up to this event?
            GigaStor continuously tracks network transactions, providing a running
            history on network activity

Why did the problem happen?
            GigaStor provides the root-cause to the performance degradation; down
            to the individual link, packet, or station

How are we going to resolve it?
            With the GigaStor’s ability to perform retrospective network analysis,
            going back in time on the network to review the problem is effortless. Simply
            navigate back to get the complete story on performance without having
            to recreate or wait for the issue to happen again.

“The partnership of Network Instruments and NetQoS is a natural fit that will effectively address growing challenges faced by IT staffs. Bringing together the application performance monitoring strengths of NetQoS with the value of Network Instruments’ retrospective network analysis solution, not only reduces the amount of tools required but breaks down IT silos allowing engineers greater collaborative opportunities.”

— Elisabeth Rainge, IDC Director of Network and Service Management

Benefits

• Look across the enterprise to identify the worst performing applications, servers, and networks
• Drill down to see detailed information before, during, and after a problem occurred
• Dramatically decrease mean time-to-repair on the most complex network issues

How it Will Work:
NetQoS will analyze data captured and stored by the Network Instruments GigaStor technology. This allows the NetQoS SuperAgent to investigate performance issues by directly queuing historical information on the Network Instruments GigaStor.
