Due to the tremendous value derived from today’s enterprise-level network systems and the number of people who depend on these systems, proactive network administration and management is a necessity. Successful network administration and management, however, requires a mix of personnel with in-depth technology experience and comprehensive network assessment tools that is usually not feasible for most on-site IT budgets and time constraints. What does this mean for your organization? Without the right performance and security assessment system behind you, your network is most likely operating well below its true performance level and even at great security risk.

Optimal Network Performance and Security Assessment
Without comprehensive tools, a well-planned process, and a fluid understanding of today’s newest technology, organizations of any size may unknowingly overlook network elements which may be detracting from the full potential of their operating system. By coupling our expert analysis capabilities with industry-wide application experience, CSR can provide you with a network performance and security assessment designed to pinpoint those elements and ensure that you’re getting the most from your infrastructure. CSR’s performance and security assessment is divided into four main analysis areas:

LAN Performance Analysis

• Intuitive frame and network object capturing used to detect network anomalies
• Comprehensive network tracking
• Detection of rogue devices, protocols, and duplicate addresses
• Identification of slow-performing devices and applications
• High-speed corporate network troubleshooting
• Observation and confirmation of network-wide connection setups

WAN Performance Analysis

• Data capture and decoding of internetwork bridge/router frame formats and the analysis of LAN protocols encapsulated within WAN transports
• Real-time monitoring of bridge/router lines
• Frame relay implementation
• Legacy system and terminal-to-host troubleshooting
• Location of any internetwork problems including re-transmissions, duplicate IP addresses, CRC errors, WAN overload, and frame relay congestion
• Detailed bandwidth utilization statistics

Advanced Real-Time Reporting

• Mapping and reporting of top network conversations and depiction of top bandwidth users
• Throughput capacity planning
• Performance issue identification
• Usage profiling
• Technical overviews

Network Planning and Management

• Network usage planning
• Day-to-day utilization baselines
• Segment traffic, segment error, segment size distribution, and segment utilization reports

Designed for tasks ranging from advanced mission-critical applications to common e-mail application challenges, CSR’s unique approach to performance and security analysis allows us to cost-effectively detect and analyze even the toughest performance problems. In addition, CSR will proactively enable your WAN/LAN to run at peak performance. CSR’s network scanning package allows comprehensive network problem solving designed to provide you with the ability to securely operate at maximum efficiency.
