Enterprise network administrators are looking for ways to effectively manage WAN bandwidth usage and plan for growth. Leveraging Cisco technologies, LiveAction enables multi-site organizations to easily measure current bandwidth usage, reduce bandwidth costs, and proactively predict capacity needs.

Problem: Network administrators need an organized way to understand bandwidth usage across many WAN links and to reduce bandwidth cost while optimizing performance.

LiveAction Solution

• Network-wide and site-based bandwidth utilization views by day, week, and month for at-a-glance baseline
• Flows views of site(s) by day, week to observe traffic mix for normal vs. anomalies vs. trends
• Pre-QoS and post-QoS bandwidth utilization enables understanding of traffic usage across applications and links
• Full QoS control allows provisioning and adjustment of QoS policies to manage bandwidth

Cisco Technologies Used

• NetFlow
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR)

Monitor application performance metrics across the WAN

Solution Benefits

Improved Bandwidth Usage—Understanding and provisioning of appropriate bandwidth for highest application performance across WAN links

• Understand which applications and users consume the most bandwidth
• Network-wide, site-based, and WAN bandwidth utilization baseline and trends
• Provision appropriate bandwidth for highest application performance across WAN links through GUI-based QoS control

Improve Application Performance Across the WAN—Eliminate potential sources of delay or congestion quickly, allowing applications to perform optimally

• Report application visibility metrics to show application performance due to bandwidth or resource issues
• Eliminate potential sources of delay or congestion quickly, allowing applications to perform optimally

Reduce WAN Costs

• Realize cost savings by moving from high cost WAN connections to less expensive transport
• Proactive warning of performance or bandwidth issues minimizing downtime

Proactive Capacity Planning

• Establish a baseline for understanding when capacity is needed and avoiding bandwidth depletion
• Graphical Medianet IP SLA Voice Operations (VO) tests load up the network with test RTP streams for pre-deployment capacity planning

Monitor WAN performance metrics from a selection of built-in or customizable dashboards and reports
