Each year, Solutions Review releases free buyer\u2019s guides<\/a> highlighting top vendors across the enterprise IT. Every guide comes with a market overview, important questions to ask, key capabilities to lookout for, and full vendor profiles with a solution overview, three key features, and our own \u2018Bottom Line\u2019 analysis.<\/p>\n

Our network monitoring guide is coming soon and below is an excerpt from the guide. We\u2019ve provided three questions to ask yourself when considering a new solution.<\/p>\n

Are you comfortable managing network growth?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Networks are bound to grow in complexity, in a way that might be hard to cohesively define. As they continue to grow, they\u2019ll also become more intertwined with business success. So how do enterprises prepare for such a dramatic shift? It doesn\u2019t have to be difficult, it comes down to using the right tools and having knowledge of network expansion. Many companies would be fine to simply utilize a network monitoring solution. IT teams gain the ability to see what\u2019s happening on the edge at any given time, and they also alert you to irregularities. Think of it as your first line of defense against network problems.<\/p>\n

How do you measure network performance over time?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Today, performance metrics are more important than ever. Sports, cars, computing, etc. all live and die based on how well they stack up statistically. Stats aren\u2019t everything though, the way we utilize stats needs to be as efficient as the stats themselves. Having a bunch of raw data is useless without a proper plan, and this is certainly the case with networking. Network monitoring solutions allow users to capture data in real time\u00a0so you\u2019ll immediately know about network\u00a0breaches and performance problems. You\u2019ll also be able to use data to find room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Are you prepared for a DDoS attack?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Anyone can be the target of a DDoS attack, regardless of company size. DDoS attacks carried out by hijacked devices. The devices send numerous requests to a single target and flood websites, applications, or networks with overwhelming traffic. These attacks cause congestion and bandwidth consumption, potentially shutting down your service or network. DDoS mitigation diverts attacks away from your network. Mitigation starts by detecting abnormal traffic flow. Now, this is something offered by network monitoring solutions.<\/p>\n
