Performance Management  
Floater
Your company's IT infrastructure may be its key asset, supporting mission-critical services and applications relied upon by your business. As an IT manager, you are responsible for monitoring and managing that asset to ensure your business operates smoothly and effectively. When an application or server appears to be slow, IT operations are often presumed guilty and placed under intense scrutiny and pressure.

Managing the performance of your network enables you to optimise the consistency and quality of service your users have come to expect. For most end-users application response time is the critical performance indicator that shapes their perception of you and your network's success. Implementing performance management tools helps you reduce the service degrading impacts of network congestion and outage, enabling you to provide the levels of performance your business depends on.







 


 


























 


 

Challenges
The evolution from reacting to network problems to proactively managing end-user services requires great insight and dedication. The need for performance management systems has never been more important given the influence critical IT systems and applications have on business results.

IT managers face significant challenges satisfying business and executive expectations. Performance is measured by the ability to bring value to the firm through the application of IT that is aligned to corporate goals and objectives. IT managers must provide the infrastructure necessary to deliver the services the business depends most on, set and measure stakeholder expectations, and have the right combination of people, processes and technology required to attain advantage for the firm. Even more challenging is the fact that all this must be achieved under operational and capital budget constraints.

It is virtually impossible managing end-user services successfully without first having the capability to monitor the network. Performance data must be collected to analyse performance levels and trends, and performance baselines or service level agreements must be set before expectations can be meet.






Performance management challenges include:
Are you getting the most from your network infrastructure?
Is your network running at optimal performance?
Have you outgrown your capacity?
How do you validate your SLAs?
What visibility do you have into network utilisation patterns and bottlenecks?
How much time does it take to pinpoint and troubleshoot problems?
