Network Analytics Help Drive the World
8/1/2014 - It's hard not to look at the world and realize that things that used to not require the network even just 15 years ago now absolutely require the network. As more applications for the network show up, as new capabilities emerge for putting the network to use, from cloud-based technology to the bring your own device (BYOD) doctrine, so too does reliance on the network grow. That means keeping the network running is a vital task, and to that end, network analytics need increasing levels of not only visibility to see what's going on, but also control, so as to address problems.
