White Paper Abstract: Evaluating the Need for Upgrades in Campus LANs Long-adopted LAN bandwidth optimization finds its way to the core
In recent years, IT organizations have embraced the need for application visibility into the traffic flowing over their WANs in order to better manage bandwidth consumption and budgets. Now that concern is beginning to move to campus LANs. All that "excess demand" built into the network a few years ago has seemingly disappeared, and regular trouble tickets are opened daily for "The network is slow today. It's taking forever to get my work done." In the past, the trend was to "throw bandwidth at the problem" in order to gain better application responsiveness. Curiously, however, as soon as additional capacity became available, a spate of new, bandwidth-hungry applications appeared to consume any excess.
Where many large corporate and government networks operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, increaseing bandwidth to upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet is quite an expensive proposition. Instead, these enterprises are implementing NetScout's nGenius® Solution to gain information for better network utilization, improved application design, and bandwidth optimization, which lets them save costs and postpone core upgrades.
