You’ve probably got your network monitoring, configuration management, and application performance monitoring covered by products like Orion NPM, Orion NCM, and Orion APM. But there are a few pieces that most people forget about and using end of budget year funds is a great way to close those gaps and enter the new year ahead of the curve. During this webcast, Josh Stephens, Head Geek and decorated Air Force veteran, covers the top three gaps commonly left exposed within network management strategies today and how to address them. Specifically, remote site perspective network performance, analysis of network traffic and WAN congestion and NMS failover and redundancy.

5. Fundamental Network Management

6. Remote Site Performance Monitoring

7. Network Traffic Analysis and WAN Congestion

8. NMS Failover and Redundancy

10. What is Fundamental Network Management The 3 Pillars Network Infrastructure Configuration Applications What Might Be Left Behind? Remote Site Performance Network Traffic Analysis and WAN Congestion NMS Failover and Redundancy

11. The 3 Pillars of Network Management Infrastructure Network Management SNMP ICMP Syslog Application Management Services Components User Experience Configuration Management Automated Changes Inventory Regulatory Compliance

12. Gap #1: Remote Site Performance The Problem How can you measure the performance between site B and C when your NMS is in Site A? NMS only measures A to B and A to C

13. Gap #1: Remote Site Performance The Solution IP SLA-enabled Networking Ability Included in Your IOS

14. Gap #1: Remote Site Performance IP SLA Router at site B performs IP SLA tests on link to site C and stores results NMS uses SNMP to retrieve test results NMS obtains visibility to all IP SLA enabled remote and local links Delay and Jitter VoIP Call Quality TCP/UDP Port Response HTTS, FTP, DNS and DHCP Service Quality

15. Gap #2: WAN Traffic Analysis The Problem WAN Utilization is increasing but the NMS cannot tell why Need visibility into traffic driving WAN requirements Who is using it? What are they doing? Is the traffic necessary?

16. Gap #2: WAN Traffic Analysis The Solution Traffic Flow Analysis Probably part of your existing OS – NetFlow, sFlow, J-Flow, IPFIX Define traffic by protocol, port and IP addresses Indicate top users by Location Protocols IP Address Country Domain

17. Gap #2: WAN Traffic Analysis Flow Analysis Benefits Locate the cause of congestion Discover Improper Usage Control Recurring WAN Costs

18. Gap #3: Full NMS DR and Redundancy Problem Failure of an NMS can be caused by many elements Server Hardware Processes and Applications OS Network Interface Problem NMS failure causes loss of modules and pollers NetFlow, APM, IP SLA Manager and additional pollers

19. Solution #3 - Orion FailOver Engine
