Real-time Monitoring

StreamSense includes real-time visibility features to track network or application performance and quickly troubleshoot any slowdown or user complaint. Monitoring features are truly real-time: Measurements are in ten second increments - or even based on the last packet going through the WAN. 

Network Monitoring

 The WAN infrastructure usage and performance can be monitored in order to understand how a site access link performs or how loaded it is. Active probes can also be provisioned to provide end-to-end network measurements such as latency , loss ratio, etc. 

Applications Monitoring

Each business application can be monitored in order to follow its utilization and performance, from bandwidth consumption to response time.

Troubleshooting

To complement infrastructure and application measurements, a set of powerful analytical troubleshooting tools provides detailed information about any issue in real-time:

• Live connections
• Top talkers/listeners
• Protocols auto-discovery
• Packet capture and display (or replay in other tools such as Ethereal)

Alarms

Streamcore’s alarms can be set up to notify administrators of changes in the quality of services, whether it concerns infrastructure or application delivery. Alarms are logged per site, providing a readily accessible summary of events. Notification is via e-mail or RSS feed.

These tools also help prevent and detect all types of malfunctions or abnormal behavior across the WAN, such as denials of service and viruses. They help identify any malfunction that may impact productivity and directly affect business operations so issues,like those listed below, can be quickly addressed:

• Deterioration in the level of service over the WAN (time limits, loss ratio, etc.)
• Unidentified traffic over an access link
• Slow down in performance due to insufficient capacity of an access link compared to the needs of mission-critical applications
