Companies who have deployed a network into their infrastructure
need to benchmark the health and performance of their network. Through
the Network Health Check service, a Professional Services consultant
engages directly with the customer's engineering and operations
staff to assess, benchmark and analyze the health and performance
of customer's infrastructure. Any company can benefit from this
service offering. Regardless of the network size, IP network performance
problems can greatly impact a company's operations. It is difficult
to plan for new services without the knowledge of how the network
is performing and how much additional capacity exists in the network.
Common company concerns that are addressed in the Network Health
Check service include:
-
How can I proactively identifying existing
and potential network performance issues that may affect my
service level agreements?
-
How can I benchmark my network performance
and existing capacity so I can plan for adding new applications
and revenue-generating services in the future?
The health check identifies potential bottlenecks in the network,
benchmarks the current health and utilization of the infrastructure,
and also provides some trending data that can be used for future
capacity planning. The network assessment includes such tasks as:
- Discussing and understanding your existing IP network design,
architecture and configuration
- Implementing the appropriate software tool to gather statistics
and data from the network
- Analyzing the server equipment health and operation
- Analyzing network equipment interfaces for utilization and error trends
- Identifying potential hot-spots or problem areas in the network
- Recommending appropriate solutions to identified problem areas
- Creating graphs and documents displaying the IP network health
and utilization
