– including wired and wireless application performance, application performance and device interconnectivity, plus in-depth route analysis for the entire path on the user's specific device.
Instead of the traditional back-and-forth approach of separate tools with multiple user interfaces and complex troubleshooting and input signatures, network engineers now have a unified view of wired and wireless performance across the entire organization, including remote sites and applications deployed via the cloud, vendor, and enterprise networks. Using Visual TruView, they can not only quickly identify problems, but also isolate the source of the issue and resolve it effectively, no matter what.
Today's IT has increasingly moved toward application-centric and service-oriented operations, and the need for application awareness within performance monitoring and management technologies has grown enormously as a result. End-user expectations have also risen in line with the use of smart devices, mobile applications, and streaming media. While end users might blame "the network" for any difficulties they encounter, the problem could lie elsewhere. Fluke Networks introduced its original AANPM solution, Visual TruView, in 2013 to help IT teams discover and resolve performance issues regardless of where they originate in the delivery path.
By extending Visual TruView's capabilities through tight integration with OptiView XG, Fluke Networks is enhancing its proven network analysis and troubleshooting capabilities to deliver superior visibility into remote network connectivity and the health of all components in the application and service deployment path. This approach significantly expands the traditional definition of AANPM.
Typically deployed in the data center, Visual TruView can be installed as a standalone application or as part of a distributed multi-application setup, while OptiView XG can be deployed as an endpoint at remote sites or in a centralized location. This deployment flexibility is especially useful now that the two applications are integrated. Depending on the problem they are trying to solve, network engineers can take OptiView XG virtually anywhere and have access to shared data with Visual TruView, which improves application performance in troubleshooting and end-user experience. This means that—for the first time—organizations now have fully centralized AANPM visibility with granular local visibility across wired and wireless networks.
An added benefit of TruView's flexible deployment is its ability to grow with the business. While a mid-sized organization might only need one TruView application, more units can easily be added to accommodate evolving network requirements.
Visual TruView has been recognized as a best-in-class solution and was recently awarded a "Leader" designation in Gartner's inaugural Magic Quadrant for Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics (AANPM, also known as NPMD). TruView was ranked a Best Hybrid Solution by AANPM and a Value Leader by Enterprise Management Associates, and has received numerous industry awards.
