Dimension Data has announced a new service to help organisations achieve highly granular levels of network monitoring and assessment to better adapt to the changing nature of data being driven by trends such as cloud and BYOD.
Launched globally today, the network optimisation assessment tool is supported by technical interviews as well as a maximum two-week deployment of an appliance on client’s networks, so as to collect data and a wide variety of information about network environments.
“In addition to the dramatic growth in traffic volumes on network, the type of traffic is changing, and the number of networked devices is exploding,” Gregg Sultana, Dimension Data’s national manager of network integration said in a statement.
“This is making high end-to-end performance difficult to achieve, given changes to underlying ICT infrastructure such as mobility, virtualisation, consolidation, and cloud.”
Clients using the network optimisation assessment services would gain detailed discovery of all voice, video and application traffic traveling across their networks. They would also have visibility of critical information relating to protocols, ports, VLANs, traffic direction, and active hosts.
“This is critical as organisations ready their networks for the emerging trends of video, mobility and particularly cloud.”
DiData said ROI for a typical WAN optimisation project can be achieved in between four and 18 months.
