More and more organizations have converted their networks to multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) because of the benefits it brings. These include lower costs, higher performance (important for applications such as VoIP and IP video) and better reliability. However, such a large infrastructure change brings risks, especially during the migration stage from traditional technologies such as Frame Relay and ATM. Application migration requires close monitoring of the network to ensure that users are not negatively impacted by the change.
PathView and AppCritical's unique network performance management capabilities reduce the risks of infrastructure changes such as an MPLS conversion. With their end-to-end network view, the tools provide visibility into and through MPLS networks without requiring agents or probes in those networks.
With PathView and AppCritical, you can:
- Continuously monitor network performance and application response time to ensure that your MPLS conversion goes smoothly and successfully
- Troubleshoot performance problems up to 70% faster with hop-by-hop analyses, even through the cloud and other third-party networks
- Validate and report on SLA compliance from your MPLS provider for improved performance and service
