Vodafone IP-VPN Application Performance Manager

Understand and optimise critical business applications performance over IP-VPN WAN

Improve the performance of your enterprise applications

In order to optimise the user experience, and make cost effective use of bandwidth, it is essential to understand and control how your different business applications and communications are performing over your IP-VPN. Our application performance management (APM) service includes application visibility and control (AVC), which helps you drive management simplicity and high levels of service assurance. This application-driven network solution embedded into our IP-VPN network will help you improve application performance and fine-tune your usage by being able to respond to changing business dynamics.

APM provides the ability to improve the performance of enterprise applications, make cost-effective use of bandwidth, understand and then control how your different business applications and communications are performing over our IP-VPN WAN solution.

You get the information you need to run networks efficiently, provide a consistent user experience across applications, locations and devices, and make sure business-critical applications run as they should.

Two service levels, and how they work

AVC is a feature of our IP-VPN and there are two levels of service available:

AVC identifies, categorises and reports on applications passing over your IP-VPN WAN allowing us to provide visibility for more than 1,500 application types.

AVC is embedded in our network and Cisco routers, so we can dynamically optimise application performance through QoS. Application Control enables you to identify applications as they flow through the network, measure their performance, and control them using their QoS profiles.

You can monitor capacity utilisation, top talkers, rogue applications, and application performance between sites using our online performance monitoring portal which provides easy-to-use dashboards and facilitates intelligent drill-down into relevant detail through tiered reporting options. The reports provide insight on utilisation globally, per site or per user, and you can also obtain data about network performance.

Fine-tune apps and rightsize the network

Get greater insight into how your apps are using the network, and start5 planning the day-to-day capacity and throughput your IP-VPN needs, in today's hyper- dynamic networking environment. We help you understand the detail your applications lifecycle management process requires. Optimise business-critical processes and understand how apps are consuming your network resource.

AVC is essential for ‘right sizing’ the network and ensuring the prioritisation of applications. It identifies applications as they enter the network and allocates the required bandwidth for the application to perform. It will automatically prioritise business critical applications, such as delay-sensitive VoIP and video traffic, over non-critical applications. You can also improve application productivity by ensuring the adequate bandwidth.

Drive consistent, quality experiences

Improved application visibility helps you provide users with a fully optimised and quality application experience. AVC enables you to measure application performance, and highlight application and network issues that can affect end-user experience. In addition, to support your future plans and growth, a transparent network of applications will make easier the adoption of new IT initiatives such as cloud services and BYOD. Your applications need to be available wherever you operate, at any locations and need to be reliable and provide you with the same quality of service seamlessly. AVC is a strategic service for the optimisation of your connectivity and helps you maintain the application performance and user experience that your particular business requires.
