Analyze network latency with network optimizer software


When network path latency occurs, applications can experience downtime and adversely affect end users on the network. To mitigate these bottlenecks, the SolarWinds® network optimization tool in Network Performance Monitor (NPM) can help users measure network latency at the packet level. NPM does this by calculating the uptime of client sessions with an application server using a Three-Way Handshake (TCP Handshake). SolarWinds NPM network monitoring software also includes a Quality of Experience dashboard with deep packet inspection to calculate network response time and improve network speeds.

Monitor hardware health to optimize network performance

Once you locate and resolve any latency issues on the network, the next step to optimize a network may be to upgrade your IT infrastructure. With NPM, users can gain insights into hardware health and monitor key device metrics, including temperature, fan speed, power supply, and more. Users can also generate alerts when devices are performing below expected thresholds to be sent to the proper admin, who can then inspect the hardware and help mitigate potential issues before they occur. 

IT teams can also use SolarWinds NPM to generate reports to help them make decisions about upgrade purchases, with the ability to drill down into device details and inspect node status, device information, average response time, packet loss, and more.

Automate network capacity forecasting

Users can leverage the network optimization software in NPM to dig deeper into specific nodes for current and projected capacity based on historical utilization data. NPM is built to automate capacity forecast planning with its ability to calculate exhaustion dates based on peak and average usage from user-defined thresholds.

With an easy-to-understand dashboard solely dedicated to node details, Network Performance Monitor users can use forecast data as well as obtain useful and detailed capacity information on interfaces, memory, storage, and CPU usage trends.

In addition to the capacity feature for network optimization, you can also use one of the more than 100 out-of-the-box predefined reporting templates built into NPM or create customizable performance and availability reports to help monitor for and ensure optimized network performance of critical network devices like core routers, applications, and switches.
