		Poor user response times are always reported as "the network's slow!" But it's not always the network's fault - it may be the server, the application itself, or an interaction between application and network. The ACE Live appliance analyses applications traffic flows end-to-end to give unrivalled and affordable QoS monitoring and troubleshooting of applications performance. ACE Live is able to map QoS on to the business needs of an organisation, reporting by application, user, or business group of users - and the detailed analysis of the root cause of application performance and the interaction between network and application saves time and money by allowing much more effective "finger-pointing" when there are problems.

Overview

Distributed management. Enterprise scale. Global visibility. It's the only way to manage the complexity of today's network application infrastructure. So why have traditional network performance tools relied on centralized, monolithic common-repository approaches? Good question. There is a better way.

	The OPNET ACE Live Enterprise Architecture enables enterprise-wide visibility across a globally-distributed network application infrastructure. Under the control of the ACE Live OS, an NP-Director appliance coordinates a ACE Live Domain of up to 20 NP-2000 appliances, providing aggregate reporting, analysis, unified configuration/administration, and transparent UI navigation across that distributed environment. Each NP-2000 provides edge intelligence, correlation, analysis, and data storage on a regional basis, and the NP-Director extends that capability enterprise-wide. The ACE Live solution operates across the most complex networks-any combination of Internet, WAN, VPN, MPLS, LAN, and third-party-to deliver detailed real-time and historical information about performance, utilization, route quality, ISP performance, and end-user experience through a flexible interface that unifies three different views of the network:
A business view, to report performance for key business functions, sites, and services and prioritize troubleshooting; A flow view, to quickly isolate problems to the server, application, or network and assign the right management team; and An infrastructure view, to pinpoint cloud issues such as peering, route, BGP, and MPLS problems that cannot even be seen by traditional solutions. The result is radically simplified network troubleshooting, easier deployment of new applications and services, and reduced operating expenses.

The ACE Live Solution

Application Management for the Network Team
