Seamless Application Delivery: A pressing need

Tremendous surge in customer traffic coupled with complex applications running over multiple servers located across varied geographies have made seamless Application Delivery an art to be perfected.

Intelligent Analytics over information

Seamless Application delivery requires information: Information on what’s happening over the network – health of devices that run an application, frequency of requests, optimal way to route traffic, recent user changes- the list is exhaustive. But gathering data is only the tip of the iceberg. The true test lies in running intelligent analytics over this sea of data and coming up with insights that help application owners, network administrators and CXOs take appropriate action.

Dashboard: End-to-end, Application-centric, Centralized view

As the network grows in number of applications as well as the number of devices it plays host to, a one-stop dash board to view and control applications end-to-end becomes imperative.

Payoda has undertaken extensive research and study to identify pressing issues that plague application owners and network administrators on large corporate networks. Some of them are:

• Visibility
  • Real-time visibility of the entire network topology
  • Real-time visibility of data traffic running through each device/application
• Application traffic routing
  • Option to enable and disable traffic through specified Servers and Data Centers
  • Graceful routing: allowing existing sessions to complete before closing down a route
  • Forced Server shut down and start up
• Historic trending & significant events correlation
  • Historic trends pertaining to Application/ Device KPIs (CPU usage, traffic throughput etc)
  • Compare statistics across applications and data centers for significant events
• Dashboard view
  • Intuitive user interface to view and control applications centrally.
  • Widget views: Run actions based on Apps, App health.
  • Define and restrict application views according to pre-defined user roles.
  • Actions can be defined at multiple levels: Granular to Data Center level.
• Application status and Threshold alerts
  • Notification on occurrence of significant events and thresholds (such as server down, traffic disable, threshold violations, etc)
• Housekeeping: User authentication, Access controls and Auditing of user actions
• Troubleshooting Application Delivery bottlenecks in quick time
  • Centralized visibility and control of all applications and devices. Diagnosis and troubleshooting made easy

AppViewX, with its application-centric view delivers topological and statistical data of all network elements that cater to an application, whereas other applications provide only device-centric view which does not effectively serve application delivery and monitoring.
