Is it the application or the network?
Users don’t call into the help desk and say, “Router 23 in the Chicago campus is having congestion issues.” Instead, users call the help desk and say, “Webex is slow in Chicago.” This situation requires IT to quickly understand “is it the application or the network?”
Historically network operations and engineering teams tasked with issues like this would start looking at the network devices in Chicago to see how they were performing. This can often be a needle in the haystack. IBM SevOne enables network teams to start speaking “app”, meaning they can start their troubleshooting journey from an application perspective for app-centric insights.
App-centric insights start with scalable Netflow collection. This data is then analyzed and associated with the knowledge of over 10,000 known applications (plus the ability to add your own filters to recognize custom apps), along with the network devices carrying that traffic. The result is an app-centric troubleshooting process enabling network teams to quickly understand “is it the application or the network”.
Use cases
Report on popular SaaS applications and drill down to understand infrastructure dependencies using flexible application grouping (i.e., collaboration tools) to quickly assess network capacity for budgeting purposes and more.
Start with the network flow data and view the supporting infrastructure with a single click. Drill down to see capacity issues, alerts, and anything else causing network impairment to rapidly triage and resolve incidents.
SevOne's smart flow filtering allows teams to drill down into application-specific traffic patterns. Whether isolating bandwidth-heavy applications, tracking service-level degradation, or analyzing protocol-level behavior, SevOne provides the context needed to troubleshoot faster and smarter. These features converge to deliver a solution that is not only technically superior but operationally transformative.
With flow traffic analysis from IBM SevOne, you gain real-time, intelligent insights to monitor, manage and optimize your network for continuous performance. These insights can be used to improve customer experience, optimize infrastructure for performance and cost, and reduce time taken to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve network issues—all in one platform.
IBM SevOne provides a "top talkers" report to identify traffic causing spikes in utilization. With port-based identification, network managers can track and report on applications known to your environment. “Type of Service” (ToS) filters help identify non-approved applications that consume bandwidth and determine their conformance to Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
