Network performance can fluctuate over long periods of time, which can make it difficult to track when it&#8217;s functioning above or below its usual performance level. Your company needs to have a baseline in place so it can determine whether or not your network&#8217;s real-time performance is sufficient for your business needs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Comparing\u00a0real-time and historic network data<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In order to truly understand your network&#8217;s performance, you need to have both real-time and historic network performance data. Network baselines are based on historic performance data, providing a benchmark with which your network monitoring system can judge real-time network performance on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"box box3\"><em>Our\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/network-monitoring\/get-a-free-network-monitoring-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Network Monitoring Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/a><\/span> contains profiles on the top network performance monitoring vendors, as well as questions you should ask providers and yourself before buying.<\/em><\/div><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Finding small changes in network performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Events that affect network performance can happen at any time, and their impact isn&#8217;t always detectable by the human eye. Minor issues may not put a huge dent on your immediate network performance, but they could be an indication of a larger problem. Network monitoring solutions continuously analyzes your network to look for performance that doesn&#8217;t match typical behavior; they can detect performance-affecting problems by comparing them against your performance baseline.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Continuously updating performance baselines as a network grows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Networks are not a static technology; as businesses evolve and their demands for their network grow, the devices on a network will need to be upgraded and more connections will be necessary. These changes will inevitably affect your network&#8217;s baseline performance, as more advanced network technology increases network speed, throughput, and other metrics. As such, your network performance baseline will need to adapt when upgrades or new installations are made.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Looking for a solution to help you improve your network performance?
