Application and Performance Management

DELIVERING CRITICAL SERVICES FOR THE APPLICATIONS THAT MATTER MOST

Applications are essential to your business performance, yet many are not delivering the "as designed" performance that you need. This is particularly painful when underperforming applications cause revenue or brand impact.

Poor application performance is a complex problem and unraveling causes can be costly and time consuming.

• Application performance can be impacted by global communications and the longer transmission paths that result.
• Data center consolidation can cause volume demands and overwhelm an application system.
• The increasing number of applications launched by multiple internal departments not only affects the demands and requirements for IT services and network availability, but also compounds load handling.
• Unauthorized use of non-business applications, such as downloading music or video files, competes for bandwidth with valid, business-related applications.

High Performance Requires End-to-End Visibility

Because improving application performance requires efficient operations across your hosts, networks, LAN and WAN infrastructure, and end-user systems, we enable the ability to look across all these environments. And we couple that ability with the expertise to build a solution that balances accessibility, cost, and performance.

With our services, we can help you:

• Assess applications and infrastructure. We dive deeply into your applications and infrastructure to understand how it all works together, what vulnerabilities exist, and how to improve performance.
• Improve visibility and decision making. Our measurement tools provide granular visibility into the areas affecting your applications, such as servers, WAN, LAN, and desktops.
• Enhance application and network performance. We optimize application performance throughout the entire network infrastructure—through application acceleration, traffic shaping, dynamic bandwidth, and other data-grooming products.
• Secure applications and infrastructure. Deep packet inspection, firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention devices, along with secure co-location centers and purpose-built managed hosting centers, help secure your applications and infrastructure.
• Simplify complexity and management. Remove the complexity and let us use our expertise to improve application and network performance with our range of managed services, from networks and infrastructure to applications and security.
