Understanding application response time and quality of experience (QoE) are fundamental competencies required to ensure application delivery. End-user experience for networked applications is most often measured with a single metric: time. The NetQoS Performance Center leverages a variety of techniques to measure the response time and QoE for critical applications to ensure consistent application delivery to end users.
Passive Monitoring
The NetQoS Performance Center passively monitors response time and QoE for applications such as SAP, Microsoft Exchange, Oracle, VoIP, and video without the need to deploy client-side probes or any software agents. From a passive appliance near the application-server infrastructure, the NetQoS Performance Center baselines the response time of every application transaction between every client and server and automatically alerts when baselines deviate from normal.
Active Monitoring
The NetQoS Performance Center also uses active monitoring technology for measuring response time and QoE within the existing infrastructure without deploying software agents on clients or servers. The NetQoS Performance Center interoperates with Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreement (IP SLA) technology on Cisco routers and switches to synthetically test application transactions between two end-points on the network. The NetQoS Performance Center can configure, collect, and report IP SLA test data via baseline trends, scorecards, and dashboards.
Details from active and passive monitoring sources are aggregated to a single reporting console, where customized reports can be designated for IT management, engineering, and operations. By collecting and analyzing data from this unmatched variety of measurement technologies, the NetQoS Performance Center provides the industry’s most comprehensive view of application delivery across the world’s largest networks.
