Fast, Flexible and Cost-Effective

Straightforward and non-intrusive

SecurActive’s Performance Vision can be installed in just a few minutes on any network without impacting infrastructure: no agent, network configuration change, or traffic overhead is called for. The solution can rely on either SPAN/port mirroring or TAP to process its traffic analyses.

Scalable and distributed

In stand-alone mode, our solution consists of a single collector that analyzes traffic, collects the statistics and presents the data

through a single user interface. In distributed mode, Performance Vision captures and analyzes traffic in several physical locations using distinct appliances, which send their statistics to Performance Vision’s central collector. All the data is aggregated in one database where it can be accessed through the single interface.

Performance Vision appliances can be either physical or virtual VMware. Our solution is highly scalable: additional pollers can be installed in minutes, offering a very attractive long term solution to suit a wide range of environments.

Adapted to both physical and virtual infrastructures

Performance Vision’s virtual appliance is VMware-ready and can provide virtual traffic capture with VMware’s native network tools (Virtual Distributed Switch.)

1. Understand Network Usage

Make the best decisions for network infrastructure

When it comes to understanding network usage, the first requirement is knowing who does what with which applications. This understanding underpins all diagnostic, optimization and decision-making processes.

Performance Vision – Usage excels in clearly mapping network flows and showing you which network user flows and activities consume the most bandwidth.

Our application provides critical information for understanding long-term usage trends that let you anticipate your organization’s network capacity needs. You get key insights for managing capacity proactively, to avoid congestion incidents and steer clear of performance degradation.

Reduce the risks attached to upgrades and rollouts

With network monitoring capabilities that include traffic mapping, bandwidth charts and top reports, Performance Vision gives you the tools for forecasting potential congestion/degradation incidents even before user complaints escalate. You get all the relevant data you need to anticipate the changes in your network’s capacity that upgrades and new application rollouts invariably demand.

Imagine being able to quickly and easily pinpoint users that show the worst end user response times, then instantly drilling down to individual user flows with a single click to precisely answer key questions, such as: Where are my dissatisfied users for a given application? From which datacenter are they accessing a problematic application? Are they getting the same response time from different servers and from different zones? On which paths can I detect excessive packet

loss / retransmission rates? You get real-time answers for solving real-world problems.

Minimize network infrastructure costs

To make effective decisions, you also need a clear grasp of network volumes and network use patterns specific to each application. With Performance Vision – Usage you get both, so that you can optimize Quality of Service without maintaining excess network capacity and IT budget-busting costs.

2. Monitor Network Performance

Monitor network infrastructure performance and establish SLAs

With precise dashboards, alerts, and reports, Performance Vision – Network provides complete, real-time visibility of network health, performance, and usage.

Network Performance Dashboard

Identify congestion and degradation incidents in seconds

Performance Vision – Network alerts you immediately to network incidents, and, with just a few clicks, it lets you pull up all the information needed for determining where the degradation originates and its potential impact.

Network administrators can access bandwidth charts, contributors, latency, retransmissions, errors, etc. – all the relevant information they need to diagnose degradation or congestion and get at its root causes.

Track network threats and abnormal behaviors

With the complete visibility of network traffic provided by Performance Vision, administrators now have improved capabilities for identifying network anomalies (ICMP / TCP errors) such as misconfigured hosts, servers or network devices. They can track abnormal behaviors, from network flows outside

standard time windows to imminent threats from viruses and worms. Result: improved performance and availability of network infrastructure.

3. Troubleshoot Degraded App Performance

Optimize end user experience with application performance monitoring

Performance Vision – Application’s set of indicators helps you master the behavior of business-critical applications. Track the origin of an application slowdown in seconds to speed up the incident resolution process. Gauge performance trends to anticipate and plan network and applications changes that will lead to optimum Quality of Service levels for your business users.

Improve IT team collaboration for critical application delivery

Ability to identify rapidly a problem on any link in the application performance

chain is the key to efficient, collaborative problem solving within IT departments. The information displayed in our Performance Vision dashboards and graphs lets each team (network, systems, application and database) understand application behavior and track a slowdown to its origin. Only the implicated team then needs to work on resolving it. Our solution also eases communications about network and application health issues with management and the business units, often a critical element in these situations.

Accelerate incident resolution by tracing degradation causes

Because Performance Vision automatically captures and analyzes all transactions, it intercepts packets corresponding to the

slowest transaction for the most critical applications. Call up these trace files with a single click in the web user interface and analyze the cause precisely without having to filter out a lot of noise – only the packets corresponding to the slow transactions will be displayed. You can now easily hone in on causes as you work to resolve the performance issues.

4. Analyze Transaction Performance in-depth

Forever change troubleshooting of your critical applications

Performance Vision measures the performance of your most critical business applications and allows you to validate that they meet the service levels expected by the end users. Performance Vision captures a wide range of performance and troubleshooting data to facilitate the diagnostic process that starts with an end user complaint and leads to detailed transaction-level analysis and to take decisions to optimize the overall performance of key applications through the infrastructure.

Analyze the performance of your HTTP/HTTPS applications

Performance Vision measures the performance of your HTTP / HTTPS applications from the end users’ perspective (page load time) and from a technical stand point (response time per transaction).

As an administrator, we now get answers to questions like these in minutes: Which pages are slow? What is slowing them down? Where do I encounter errors? Exactly which queries generate errors?

Are any pages too complex? Are any of the objects too large?

We can even record the details of queries and responses for in-depth analysis and also take advantage of advanced filtering features using a large variety of criteria such as content types, response codes, user-agent, paths, etc. All this integrates seamlessly with your network – there is no agent to deploy and no need to change your network architecture.

Master the performance of your databases

Databases may encounter delays due to non-optimized queries, error or too long processing. Performance Vision analyzes main databases on the market based on SQL, without any additional load on the server or infrastructure.

With a few clicks, administrators can visualize the state of the database, identify requests having the highest response times, errors, the commands contained in each query...

Understand the impact of name resolution on end-user experience

The impact of name resolution on services issues is often underestimated. Performance Vision captures and analyzes name resolution transactions. This feature provides you with a complete set of information, including DNS architecture, resolved domains (DNS and reverse DNS on all types of queries) query volumes and server response times. You can track the impact of DNS and determine whether end-user experience is affected by slow DNS response times.

Key features : zz HTTP Page Load Time

zz HTTP detailed transaction analysis: status, transaction time, query/response retention.

zz SSL decryption for HTTPS transaction analysis

zz Performance and detailed transaction analysis for name resolution services
