One of the most important elements of visibility is application response measurement, which allows IT staff to objectively measure and quantify the performance of every application being accessed on the WAN, from the end users' perspective.
By capturing metrics on how long end users are waiting for a given application to respond, application response measurement helps network managers fine-tune Quality of Service (QoS) policies and pinpoint whether an performance issue is network or server related. Without these measurements, IT staffs have no clear way of knowing if application response times are improving or degrading. The ability to generate these reports may also be critical for IT to obtain management buy-in for bandwidth upgrades or other network investments.
Application response time measurement allows administrators to determine how long end-users are waiting for their applications to respond. This information can be used to pinpoint if a problem is network or server related and to fine-tune QoS policies.
Equipped with this deep knowledge of network activity and usage, network managers can make informed decisions for setting effective policies, controlling traffic and optimizing network resources and application performance.
Many organizations have invested heavily in expensive and complex ERP and CRM applications that touch every facet of the business from sales and marketing to finance to manufacturing. Given the mission-critical nature of these enterprise applications, businesses simply can't afford to have their performance compromised by a sluggish and poorly optimized network. By enabling network administrators to measure and manage application response and take appropriate actions to optimize the network, the Exinda WAN optimization solution enables organizations to make the most of their significant investments in the ERP and CRM applications such as Salesforce, SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft.
