    Network Performance is More Business Critical Than Ever

    What CIOs and Network Administrators Need to Prepare For

    Here at Net Optics, we’ve been seeing a new vision for IT and the Network solidify in businesses. The changing role of Network Admins has gone from providing basic access and security for in-office employees to delivering and supporting revenue enhancing tools and services for every employee, regardless of device, location or application.

    This trend was echoed by Mark McDonald, group vice president for Gartner Executive Programs and Gartner Fellow who suggests "Effective leaders use technology, which includes IT, to strengthen the customer experience and eliminate costly internal distortions. They are using technology to ’amplify’ the enterprise." (http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1897514)

    Amplified Business Equals Amplified Challenges

    At Net Optics we’re acutely aware of the impact this new emphasis on technology will have on the Network and Network Administrators. Conflicting demands from users, new devices, new applications, and security & compliance regulations are increasing the pressure to adapt and maintain the Network while meeting stringent SLAs.

    Net Optics envisions a seamless, end-to-end Access and Monitoring Architecture that delivers total visibility and transcends the physical/virtual concept to enable robust and responsive security, performance, low latency and manageability. This new architecture focuses on applications and access capabilities from corporate headquarters and across the distributed organization. Flexibility and responsiveness to change must be built into the fabric of the access infrastructure.

    Tap Into the Health of Your Network

    Your critical business operations depend more and more heavily on your network infrastructure--making its uptime and availability vital to your organization’s success. Shrinking IT budgets and implementation timeframes only add to the challenges of effectively monitoring and maintaining the health of the network.

    Adding to the headache are legacy IPS, IDS and other monitoring tools that are unable to handle the traffic bandwidth, inefficiently deployed, or represent a point of failure that can cripple your data flow if they should fail.

    Network Taps to the Rescue

    Best practice network deployments make use of Taps to route, aggregate, and regenerate traffic that is then sent to these tools to make use of their full capabilities. In addition, bypass Taps are used to ensure a failed monitoring appliance doesn’t bring your network traffic to a standstill. Taps form the foundation for implementing a Total Application and Network Visibility Solution.
