Solving Application Performance

Problems Across the WAN with QoS

Thousands of applications are running on todays networks. Some are mission critical.
Others are latency sensitive. Still others are bandwidth hogs. QoS, or Quality of Service,
delivers predictable application performance across the network. Without QoS,
applications sufer.
The most common QoS management tools rely on traf c classication. If you cant
classify traf c, you cant control it.
Lets compare a network with QoS and without. QoS gives visibility and control. Without
QoS, you end up with a free for all, where the most aggressive traf c wins. Clearly not a
situation most enterprises can live with.
When looking for the right QoS solution, there are several key considerations.
1. The rst is ease of use. Can you easily see what is running on the network? Is it
easy to set policies? Will you need a large staf to manage the solution?
2. The second consideration is exibility. Can you copy and deploy an existing policy
across new devices? Can you use your solution for both cloud-based and on-
premise applications? Does the solution work in a variety of environments? Can you
make on-the-y policy adjustments?
3. The third consideration is the power of the solution. Start with monitoring - its all
about deep traf c classication, comprehensive analysis and robust troubleshooting.
Next, efective management - were talking about powerful QoS policies that can be
set up and validated quickly. And nally, scalability - does the solution allow for the
size of your network today? What happens in 5 years?
