Network path , application performance are critical for IT departments says CASA Software
According to CASA Software , network path and application performance are increasingly business critical issues with IT departments ability to track and control service levels being increasingly diminished . CASA provides the tools necessary to proactively track , manage , and optimise performance , no matter what applications or networks are being used .
“ This unique blend of active and passive monitoring offers comprehensive visibility of business-critical applications and network paths from the end-user perspective . We deliver enhanced end-user experiences , empower IT teams with greater efficiency , and boost the success of enterprise cloud , SaaS , and Internet transformations ,” says Tyron Silk , CASA Software , Pre-sales , Solutions Architect .
“ Outdated monitoring tools only provide visibility into a few network hops ; they do not provide end-to-end visibility of increasingly complex delivery paths . As a result , IT cannot get the visibility needed to reduce mean time to resolution or increase efficiency .
Today , business applications and user productivity are dependent upon external networks and third-party applications , but traditional passive monitoring relies on device and network ownership . To consistently deliver exceptional performance , IT needs better visibility into end-user experiences .
IT operations teams need to fully understand how performance is affected by common issues like application outages , route changes , connectivity drops , and ISP peering changes . diagnostic visibility , and rich metrics based on path , packet , web , and flow data . CASA delivers the tools and solutions essential to achieving all the foregoing and more with the capability of being deployed in the cloud or onpremise . We provide customers with the ability to monitor the end-to-end application delivery path , regardless of which cloud , office , home , or data centre is used ,” says Silk .
