Network change is constant. New technologies and applications require infrastructure changes and affect performance. In this constant state of change, you need to deliver a high level of network performance and quickly solve problems.

In this white paper, you'll learn how to plan for new application deployment, manage against internal security threats, diagnose network problems, prove it's not the network, and analyze application problems.

Today's networks are typically very stable. The problem is they aren't static. Management and users are constantly demanding new technologies, new services, and better performance, which inevitably require changing infrastructure, deploying new applications, and dealing with security. All these, together with the need to troubleshoot network and application performance issues when they arise means you need to be able to clearly see all aspects of your network to accurately assess the impact of adding new technologies and services and to make sure it is delivering maximum performance with what you already have.

As an IT professional, you need to keep your finger on the pulse of the network 24/7 and this task can be made easier by:

  • Knowing the "normal" operating conditions for your network
  • Establishing alert thresholds to warn you of potential problems
  • Being able to identify anomalous network events such as a device losing connectivity and be notified of such an event

In addition to core network monitoring, you also need to be able to diagnose network problems, including the elusive intermittent problems, prove its not the network and analyze application problems at the same time ensuring network integrity from internal security threats and plan for new application deployment.

Re-engineering Legacy to Web Application

Reengineering of software is described as the examination and alteration of a system to reconstitute in a new form. The approach is to renovate and extend the current application into new technology to best support the needs of the current business. Application modernization should be achieved by leveraging the existing investment in application infrastructure and reposition the product advantageously for the future. The challenge on hand is to convert legacy application to web application by reengineering legacy components to re-usable components. The web application can be easily integrated with web technologies.
