ADDRESS YOUR TOP 8 NETWORK CHALLENGES WITH DAY-2 AUTOMATION 4. Maintaining a Network-wide QoS Policy Ubiquitous real-time communications applications including voice, video and multicasting require high-performance and high-quality network links to prevent poor experiences. These applications are According to dependent on proper Quality-of-Service (QoS) configuration across ® the hybrid network. Continuous adherence to your network-wide Gartner , A quick QoS policy is critical to delivering high-performance real-time win would be communication experiences. "Creating an automated Challenges network Historically, network quality of service was not well understood. As performance voice and video became part of the standard set of IT supported baseline, such as services, organizations saw mixed results when implementing QoS an automated without the rigid set of control needed to assure QoS policies test that verifies remained in effect. QoS problems are less apparent because traffic and records still flows. Troubleshooting is made difficult because the same level Monitor and Resolve Real-time Communication Quality whether latency of performance must be maintained across different networks. NetBrain enables you to continuously verify the to specific adherence to design intents, including QoS policies, services/ Today, these applications compete with hundreds of other needed to maintain optimal real-time communications applications applications across different types of network technologies including performance by: is within a the home-based edge. Therefore, it’s common for the quality of • Capturing QoS policy as part of the network intent threshold." these services to suffer due to lack of complete adherence to QoS • Verifying network intents to detect QoS policy policies due to configuration drift, human error, and lack of big compliance or drift picture understanding of the impacts on other applications on • Detect variations between the current network and the shared networks. design intent before incidents are created Source: Market Guide for Network Automation Tools - Published 22 February 2022
