NEW - Measure Application Response Time with Itheon QoS
Poor application performance can now be rapidly diagnosed by Itheon QoS, using pre-defined parameters for application response times, bandwidth availability or usage, and/or traffic flows.

It summarises all of the network traffic, network users, applications and associated utilisation. With only a few clicks, customers can identify what is really causing poor application response times.

IMPROVE Server and Storage Utilisation Rates with Virtualisation
Over the past 20 years, companies have amassed a glut of IT infrastructure and put up with levels of waste and inefficiency that they would never tolerate if IT were seen in the same light as more traditional corporate assets.
According to Gartner, a utilisation rate of 5 to 10% on Intel servers is the rule rather than the exception and many storage systems, networks, PCs and even applications are also vastly under-utilised.
To combat this, a number of companies have virtualised their IT resources by pooling together computing power, memory and storage.
