During these rough economic times that we are currently going through, every single penny spent on enhancements, upgrades in the network to accommodate future demand is questioned. To make do with the existing resources with cost-cutting in mind is the most ideal solution until the economy recovers.
This mindset has a direct implication on every organization and, eventually, every department within it. Capacity planning plays a major role to cut the cost spending on enhancing the network or bandwidth to accommodate growth.
The Capacity Planning reports in NetFlow Analyzer’s Professional plus edition will help you to identify bandwidth usage growth and application growth over a period of time and it helps you formulate stringent QoS policies to avoid unwanted applications consuming your precious bandwidth and allocate maximum bandwidth for your applications that enhance your business alone.
