Know Your Network

6. 1
Discovery
what is on the
network

7. Why Network Discovery
• First critical piece of infrastructure
visualization
• If you don’t know, you can’t manage
• Allows unmanaged devices to become
manageable
• Understand what is connected to what

8. • Locates and covers non-
managed devices
• Must leverage various
discovery techniques for a
complete network
database
• Recommends optimal
monitors and data
collections settings by
device role
• Always on discovery
Network Discovery

9. Device Summary

details
• Actions, remote
control, tools and

10. • Auto created and drawn based on
connected devices
• Color indicators, stats pop-ups,
background images
• Device drill down capabilities
• Populate various maps with the
devices you want to view

Analytics
real-time access to
changes

12. Why Analytics
• Real-time is required for proactive
administration
• Identify abnormal network utilization,
performance, and quality to shorten mean time
to repair (MTTR)
• Root Cause Identification
• Establishes baseline that represents the regular
and expected activity of a device and network
• Multiple perspectives into network performance

13. • Network performance
• Fault management
• Multi-location views
• Immediate visibility into critical
device information:
– CPU load
– Network interface traffic
– Latency
– Other key performance
indicators (KPIs)
Performance Dashboards

14. • At-a-glance answers to questions
relating to bandwidth problems
• Double-click drilldown analysis to find
out which switch / port / machines
are responsible
• Quickly identify network congestion
and bandwidth consumption
• Drill-down into:
– Applications
– Conversations
– Domains
– Endpoints
– Protocols
– Interfaces

17. Use Case Scenario: Intermittent Application Failure
Challenge Enterprise IT systems rely on teams of specialists, each with
different domain expertise. When an application fails due to
intermittent loss of network connectivity, the applications group
may not have the tools necessary to diagnose the issue.
Solution Foglight NMS adds critical visibility into flapping ports on network
devices and allows administrators to correlate network events to
application performance issues.
Benefit Application Performance issues that could not previously be
explained, can be resolved leading to improved end user experience.

18. Use Case Scenario: Applications run slow
Challenge The performance of business critical applications accessed across
the network are impacted by non-work related activities like web
surfing, streaming You Tube video and Pandora.
Solution Foglight NMS provides the traffic data necessary to analyze the
amount of bandwidth consumed by non business critical applications
so that administrators can refocus critical resources where they are
needed.
Benefit Increased network bandwidth ensures that business critical
applications will perform well.
