Webinar – ‘NetFlow – The De Facto Standard for Traffic Analytics’

With ever-growing enterprise networks, a lot of concerns arise with regard to network usage. Traffic analytics becomes a key aspect in order to ensure:

* Secure network

* Continuous availability of the network 

and a lot of other associated factors. 


The dependence on the network is ever-increasing. This dependence in a way boosts productivity of the organization but the flip-side is that the bandwidth usage for applications other than that concerning business will heavily impact the flow of business activities.

Take our survey on Storage Area Network (SAN) monitoring

By on Monday, February 6th, 2012 | No Comments

We have been working on enhancing our storage monitoring
capabilities (SAN & NAS) as part of our efforts to provide better real-time
visibility into application performance. We’re planning to roll out built-in
support for major storage vendors like EMC, IBM, NetApp, Dell, HP and Hitachi in Applications Manager.
That would mean keeping tabs on the performance of applications as well as
storage devices from a single management console.
