Sure, your local applications at headquarters are running perfectly (as usual). So why do those pesky satellite offices keep reporting their applications are slow? It couldn't possibly be the WAN's fault… or could it?
SolarWinds IP SLA Manager answers this question and much more. This WAN Monitor module for SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) checks performance by tracking key edge-to-edge router performance statistics using Cisco IP SLA technology. Like NetFlow, IP SLA technology is included free in the IOSs of most Cisco WAN routers.
IP SLA Manager evolved from our previous VoIP Monitor to deliver a powerful solution for identifying site-specific and WAN-related network performance issues. This WAN Monitor module identifies which devices on your network support IP SLA operations and automatically sets up operations, eliminating any guesswork.
Finally, the WAN monitor helps you keep an eye on key applications by analyzing the performance of the underlying network protocols, including DNS lookups, FTP, HTTP, TCP connect, and UDP jitter. Of course, you can also continue to monitor VoIP call paths to ensure quality of service (QoS) for your voice traffic. Go ahead and get a new perspective on your network with IP SLA Manager!
