EMA surveyed 250 IT professionals and conducted a half-dozen phone interviews to identify best practices and successful strategies for network performance management solutions
Boulder, Colo., May 14, 2019 – Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a research webinar titled “Network Performance Management Strategies for the Digital Enterprise,” featuring Shamus McGillicuddy, research director of network management at EMA.
Network performance management (NPM) is a fuzzy concept to many IT professionals. Enterprises include a wide variety of technologies in an NPM toolset, including device metric monitoring, packet analysis, flow analysis, active synthetic monitoring, and log analysis. Enterprises also apply NPM tools to variety of use cases. First, they use NPM tools to monitor and troubleshoot the health and performance of networks and networked applications. NPM tools are also important to network capacity planning. More recently, enterprises have started using these tools to assess the network requirements of applications that are selected for migration to the public cloud. Finally, NPM tools are often used for security monitoring.
The variety of technologies that enterprises classify as NPM tools and the broad set of use cases to which they apply these tools has led to some confusion in the industry. It’s difficult to know what tools address which use cases best, and this means that building an NPM tool strategy can be tricky.
EMA’s new research report, “Network Performance Management Strategies for the Digital Enterprise,” offers IT professionals a guide toward understanding NPM technology.
During this webinar, McGillicuddy will explore the results of this research, including:
- Essential network data: What data sources (packets, flows, device metrics, etc.) do enterprises apply to different NPM use cases
- Multi-tool correlation: How IT organizations assemble a toolset and correlate insights across discrete tools
- Operational insight: How IT organizations correlate NPM-based insights with application performance, end-user experience, and security
- Technology initiatives: Which IT initiatives and network technology projects are impacting NPM tool strategies
- Tool Requirements: What NPM tool features and functions deliver maximum value to enterprises
The webinar is Tuesday, May 21 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Registration is available at: http://info.www.enterprisemanagement.com/network-performance-management-strategies-webinar-pr
