Predictable Hybrid Networks

New Zealand organisations, like many enterprises around the world, continue to deploy new technologies such as unified communications, virtualisation, cloud and wireless solutions.  The key to successful implementation is to get these new initiatives up and running as fast as possible and to minimise end user impact.

MPA experts have found that without the right tools, the IT team's ability to quickly isolate a problem in complex networks is very difficult as they have to adopt a lengthy process of elimination.  This leads to loss of productivity and profitability, unhappy users and management. The IT team has to react and resolve the issues quickly and proactively, regardless of the network type.

Understanding the paths application packets take through the network infrastructure is crucial in determining why some applications slow down.  Is an overloaded switch interface causing an issue, is a router experiencing a heavy traffic load or has a virtualised server run out of resources? With unified communications, you need to be able to understand why that VoIP call was poor - was it codec loss, network latency or packet jitter?

MPA has found that the Fluke Networks OptiView^® XG Network Analysis Tablet can pinpoint application performance issues, whether they are in the copper, fibre or wireless environment. Utilising intuitive customisable dashboards, users can quickly organise the important metrics on their networks performance onto one screen.

In New Zealand, organisations including ASB and Contact Energy have implemented Fluke Networks solution. ASB determined that through using Fluke Networks they were able to maintain the highest levels of service to their users whilst reducing ongoing cost.
