Network capacity planning is about aligning the needs of your network users with the realities of your IT budget. To efficiently manage network capacity requires keen insight into application usage. The nGenius® Service Assurance Solution provides robust reporting features that analyze growth trends and usage patterns and allow informed decisions about bandwidth optimization, rescheduling activities or reallocating traffic. In addition to enterprise-wide baselines and forecasts, the nGenius Service Assurance Solution goes beyond basic utilization metrics to identify the applications that consume bandwidth.

The nGenius Service Assurance Solution helps network managers:

• Assure the network is optimized for business-critical services by identifying how resources are utilized and adjusting to properly balance the workload
• Proactively combat network congestion by reporting on bandwidth growth and forecasting capacity shortfalls
• Gain quantifiable business justification by understanding and reporting applications consume consumption to postpone upgrades and justify growth and policy decisions
• Tune traffic to optimize resources by identifying physical and logical segments to redistribute load and balance costs
• Understand baseline current traffic patterns and response times to ensure that new applications can be supported during peak activity periods and monitored for changes over time
• Plan enterprise-wide network capacity with a unified service assurance solution that  supports all data sources and network types from the core to access layers to virtualized computing environments
