Before you make too many decisions on
your network, it’s important to know how well
it’s currently supporting your enterprise.
Enterasys’ Professional
Services organization
can perform long-term trending and analysis
of IP protocol, application and bandwidth
usage at critical network aggregation points.
By leveraging the traffic flow collection
and analysis capabilities of Enterasys’
Dragon® Network Defense, we will collect
detailed network, protocol and statistical
information. This information is then
reviewed to identify a number of common
networking issues, including Wide Area
Network (WAN) link saturation, slow
application response time and undesirable
application usage.
Enterasys Professional Services and our
certified partners are network design and
troubleshooting experts who will work
directly with your IT staff to assess network
performance and provide recommendations
for improvement.
- Meet with enterprise IT personnel to define network monitoring and analysis goals
- Collaborate with enterprise IT personnel to determine specific network segments
to be analyzed and where to place Dragon Flow Collectors
- Deploy Dragon Network Defense on the chosen network segments and provide
remote access to Enterasys Professional Services
- Leverage data collected from initial traffic flows to determine the specific
IP network hierarchy and applications traversing the monitored network segment
- Determine with IT staff the specific protocols and applications that are
to be considered undesirable
- Provide analytical report on traffic/ bandwidth characteristics by application,
IP network, top IP clients and servers, and undesirable protocols based on
a 7-day traffic collection period
- Provide final reports on bandwidth utilization, network hierarchy, applications
and undesirable protocols
- Definition of the IP network hierarchy
based on the analysis of the traffic
flows passing on the monitored
segments; provides your IT personnel
with a more specific understanding
of your network deployment
- Examination and analysis of the
saturation and resource strain of
particular network segments—
especially low-bandwidth WAN links;
allows your IT professionals to better
allocate bandwidth to important
applications
- Examination and analysis of slow
application response time in regards
to network bandwidth consumption;
includes specific Quality of Service
recommendations
- Detailed understanding of the impact
that undesirable protocols and
applications have on resourceconstrained
network segments
