Our ApproachApplication Performance Management

Monitoring & Reporting

- keeping things running smoothly

- ahead of curve

- how will UC effect you?

=> problem solving!

Problem Solving

- RNA is your ”partner”

- through faster resolution

- less downtime equates $$ bottom line

- 69,000 r$/p/m when no app delivery

(Mean Time To Resolution)

Breaking it Down

Add RNA to Master the Complex Issues

Retrospective Network Analysis

High-capacity storage device Captures massive amounts of data for

extended periods of time

Ideal for Forensics Compliance Data mining Problem identification

Capabilities Stream reconstruction Diagnosing security attacks Time navigation

Time-based analysis is a new paradigm in troubleshooting

Ensure There is a Commitment to Capture

Gen2™ Capture Card Internally designed card specifically for high-

performance analysis

Performance Fastest real-time processing available, Nano-second time stamping Full-duplex, line-rate on gigabit and 10 GbE Streams directly to physical system memory

Flexibility Higher port densities – up to 8 ports on gigabit links SFP-based – switch copper and optical

Adaptability Processing and analysis on the card Flash upgradeable

Supports Gigabit, Fibre Channel, & 10 GbE

Link Analyst

Dynamic reports Event Notification / Alerts Active Discovery Device route monitoring Device mapping

The Problem

Multi-tier application that is used for order processing is experiencing issues

Users report intermittent problems. There does not appear to be a pattern specific to workstation or user.

Notification

Alarm Report

Event recorded, displayed in Alarms Report

Restart Service and Notify

E-mail sent to Roger, the data center manager, describing failure

Roger views historical usage reports, server event logs

Web service automatically

restarted

Investigate and Resolve

Web3 was servicing more simultaneous users

than it could handle

Problem Solved

Summarize

Just a re-cap ........

Enterprise-Wide Application Reporting

Quickly identify poor application performance

Drill Down to Servers Having Issues

Identify poor performance by server

Web3 is clearly having trouble

View Individual Connection Statistics

Identify performance impact at the user level

Go Back in Time and View Activity

Identify the activity of interest

Isolate the time period

Locate User/Web Site of Interest

Select the stream to reconstruct

Reconstruct Web Page

Web page is reconstructed as it appeared when captured

Bringing it all together
