Fluke Networks Visual Performance Manager
Network Performance
IT organizations today are faced with the growing challenge of adequately managing performance across distributed networks in today’s complex environments. In order to be effective, IT organizations must have broad visibility and deep analytics to optimize delivery of business services.

Visibility into the LAN, WAN and data center
In order to understand how usage is affecting overall network performance, managers need to have an end-to-end view of the network from the data center to remote sites and all points in between. Visual Performance manager provides the 'what, where and when' information they need to maximize uptime and minimize negative impacts on performance.
An intuitive user interface provides granular visibility of correlated data across the entire infrastructure giving the right long-term and real-time views to the right people.
Managing network convergence
The complexity of managing IP networks handling data, voice and video requires tools that provide the insight needed to make informed decisions about capacity management, quality-of-service provisioning and forward capacity planning.
Convergence is driving the need for real-time and historical reporting on all traffic types to ensure optimal delivery of services in this environment. Broad and deep visibility allows users to see all conversations, protocols, applications and bandwidth usage across the entire infrastructure and provides quality of service visibility.
Optimize MPLS performance
In order to effectively monitor and manage MPLS networks, there is a need to monitor traffic flows to and from all network segments. Any-to-any site connectivity introduces complexity requiring complete visibility of network performance between sites, and network managers must be able to ensure proper class of service configuration, while validating carrier SLAs. Security concerns include P2P, Hacking, Virus and multicast applications.
When managing the performance of an MPLS network, a true picture of application and traffic flows is necessary to ensure an informed investment and better understand if infrastructure build out is needed or if network optimization will solve performance problems.
