Managed Services – Service Assurance
KEY FACTS - SERVICE ASSURANCE
- Past example projects have delivered an average performance improvement to key application response times of 500%
- Initial forensic Network Healthcheck at key LAN sites focussed on ‘user experience’ of key applications using packet analysis. Immediate configuration issues and faults identified and rectified
- WAN analysis conducted using netflow probes to establish WAN Traffic baseline, comprising application breakdown, heaviest conversations and overall utilisation
- WAN acceleration appliances implemented and tuned to reflect observed traffic profiles – Citrix/Windows Terminal Server, file sharing, Web and IP Telephony require carefully optimised configuration to maximise performance
- Performance Reporting Dashboard and pro-active alerting systems implemented to record network activity and provide long-term trend information on which to base planning for future capacity requirements
- On-going Service Assurance Programme ensures that performance remains optimised and any future application performance issues are eliminated before they affect business operations
"After issues with Cisco Works we needed a reliable way to back up our network configurations. NNT not only achieved this, but as we had no working backups, put in a tremendous effort to get the application up and running as soon as possible"
Keith Boutell, Network Manager, Essex Police
