Network Performance & Bandwidth Management

Network performance monitoring is the complex, specialized and continuous examination of vital IT business functions. It involves measuring the performance of all applications, protocols and network traffic.

A key factor in determining both the efficiency and performance of your IT applications is Bandwidth utilization recording per application.

Available bandwidth restricts the amount of data that can be transmitted across your network. Keeping your applications running smoothly and without interruption requires controlling and regulating both the level and consumption of bandwidth on an application by application basis (Quality of Service). If not measured and configured properly, your applications may underperform.

Delicate Balance: Supply vs. Performance
Many companies handle Bandwidth with the supply and demand approach- when they need more, they increase the supply. This is a more of a plaster solution and a temporary fix. It fails to address the important issues:

  • Do your mission critical applications have adequate Bandwidth to remain functioning at their highest performance levels?
  • Is Bandwidth being cost-effectively used?
  • Are low priority applications using high levels of Bandwidth; incurring unnecessary costs and affecting the functionality and performance of other more business critical applications?

These are the questions companies should be asking. Like leaking petrol, you can continuously fill up the tank just to keep your car running, or determine where the problem is and fix it.

Orama- ITC’s Performance Management Solution
Our ITC expert consultants will evaluate and monitor your network performance by inspecting bandwidth consumption and application performance in order to assess the efficiency of your network. Disparate topologies, technologies, users and applications require a centralized performance based monitoring system. At ITC we have designed a specialised product, Orama, as part of our managed security platform. Orama allows our consultants and all our customers to concurrently monitor business critical IT information- all in an easily accessible, fully integrated system.

ITC’s Policy Based Bandwidth Management Focus

  • Cost-efficient, Performance Based Utilisation of Bandwidth
  • Application Performance Monitoring
  • Preventative misuse of Bandwidth for Low Priority Applications
  • Business Driven Prioritisation of Applications and IT Objectives
  • Integrated Management and Reporting of Quality of Service (QoS) Bands for MPLS Customers

Orama correlates all vital IT data, giving a clear, concise, condensed and sanatised view of all core IT functions. This information is continuously fed back to our customers, in real time, via a single web portal, and monitored by ITC experts 24/7. This allows our consultants to accurately pinpoint poorly performing applications then properly benchmark and appropriately tune them for optimum bandwidth utilization- saving money and increasing performance.

Displaying and analysing application details is a critically important step in improving network performance. Orama serves as an automated early warning system and a monitoring and analysis solution. Orama offers continuous application monitoring and real time analysis to identify network problems, identify trends, reduce troubleshooting time, and ensure applications are performing within adequate response levels. This significantly reduces the time it takes to pinpoint problems and repair degradations that affect performance and user capabilities.

Our ITC expert consultants will seamlessly integrate the Orama Network Platform using only best of breed security tools. Orama can help your company control costs, improve performance and ensure business continuity- with a lower cost of management and higher return on investment.
