Use Cases

Managing SD-WAN and hybrid networks: Supporting future-ready infrastructure

Monitor SD-WAN performance in real time, tracking latency, jitter and packet loss across dynamic, multicloud environments.
Drive seamless transitions between legacy infrastructure and software-defined networks with real-time telemetry and automated troubleshooting.
Automate the certification of new devices and technologies, adding them to the monitoring platform in days, not weeks.
Use flow-based analytics to visualize traffic patterns across branch offices, data centers and public cloud environments.

Digital banking and real-time payments: Ensuring 24/7 Availability

Monitor end-to-end performance across payment gateways, ATM networks and online banking portals to detect issues before they impact users.
Identify bottlenecks in cloud-hosted services or API gateways that could delay payment processing.
Use historical trends to predict peak transaction times and safeguard sufficient bandwidth and resources.
Automate alerts for high-priority issues, triggering incident management workflows for rapid resolution.

High-frequency trading (HFT): Supporting low-latency networks

Monitor critical trade network links to ensure data flows efficiently without latency spikes or packet loss.
Detect and address network congestion in real time, avoiding costly delays.
Automate workflows to create predictive alerts when trading infrastructure performance deviates from baseline metrics.
Gain real-time insight into market connectivity to establish uninterrupted access to exchanges, liquidity providers and financial markets.

Capacity planning for retail branch networks: Managing demand spikes

Forecast VPN usage and bandwidth demand across branches to prevent congestion during peak periods.
Use historical metrics to align infrastructure investments with seasonal usage trends.
Automate bandwidth allocation to critical applications like loan origination systems, reducing latency for branch staff and customers.
Monitor branch-level Wi-Fi networks and ATM connectivity to set continuous service availability, even during high-traffic periods

Mergers & acquisitions: Streamlining IT integration

Consolidate tools from both organizations, reducing complexity and operational costs by eliminating redundancies.
Provide real-time network visibility during the transition, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.
Use automated device discovery to integrate new network components into existing infrastructure without manual effort.
Monitor and report on post-merger performance baselines to safeguard stability and highlight areas needing optimization.

Security and DDoS protection: Safeguarding network availability

Monitor traffic patterns to identify unusual spikes in data flows that could signal a potential DDoS attack.
Automate network actions, such as diverting suspicious traffic to mitigation services or triggering network failover processes.
Promote compliance with security and regulatory requirements by generating detailed performance reports for audits.
Provide visibility into network vulnerabilities and implement proactive measures to address potential risks before they are exploited.

Client Stories

A corporate bank needed a single solution that could scale to support its 55,000-device global network and provide a truly global view across all geographical operations centers around the world. Specifically, it was drawn to IBM SevOne’s 10-day device certification, high availability, efficient data collection for all the devices in a sub-minute polling cycle and fast reporting to replace overnight reports.

A large retail bank used IBM SevOne’s metric-to-flow capability to identify and stop antivirus updates that were being pushed during the business day, saturating bandwidth and impacting the performance of branch applications.

A leading investment firm specializing in wealth management used IBM SevOne’s integration of SNMP and NetFlow to provide better visibility between utilization and top consumers across international WAN links, including connectivity to exchanges
