| Why Do I Need NetworkSmart? |
| Focus on the Application Instead of the Network |
|
Numerous studies show that application performance is
the root cause of network downtime. However, most performance tools focus
on high-level network monitoring and are not well suited for quickly identifying
and resolving individual application problems. NetworkSmart is designed to
specifically focus on how your application runs over a network. NetworkSmart provides easy-to-read, easy-to-understand results. NetworkSmart will quickly impact your department's bottom line by minimizing application downtime and lowering costly support and/or consulting hours used to troubleshoot your application. NetworkSmart focuses on understanding the behavior of your application and how this behavior relates to the network. By rebuilding the application's behavior packet by packet, NetworkSmart is able to determine what the "real world" peformance of your application will be as well as what are the "high risk" components of your application once it is deployed. NetworkSmart is also able to quickly analyze applications running in production and provide support personel with quick insight into where the problem is happening within the application. Developers, testers, application support teams and network infrasture departments will find NetworkSmart both helpful and useful in assisting them with their daily problems. Software development, build testing, pre-deployment testing and production maintenance and troubleshooting are just some of the application areas that can improve by utilizing NetworkSmart. With NetworkSmart you will become the champion at your company for improving application quality and performance. By purchasing NetworkSmart's unique corporate license you will be able to deploy NetworkSmart across the entire organization at no additional cost. Implement NetworkSmart into the quality control process of your own department and benefit the total organization by offering the software to every other quality assurance team in the corporation. |
 According to a study by Infonetics Research, “Application problems are the single largest source of downtime, causing 30% of annual downtime hours and 32% of downtime cost." A study by Enterprise Systems showed that “large enterprises typically fritter away anywhere from 2 percent to 16 percent of their annual revenues because of losses associated with network downtime. Applications were behind most of their network downtime” A recent survey printed in Network World found that “Eighty two percent said the application outages and network downtime in the past year was significant enough to affect their business." |

 In a 2006 Network Physics survey, respondents were asked to indicate which of three choices presented the greatest difficulty relative to managing application performance:
The choice with the highest percentage of responses (42%) was choice #3: Getting support for the solution. This is further evidence that the primary impediments to effectively managing application performance have little to do with technology." |
