Ciscoand
NetQoS have released network monitoring software for use with
Cisco's Wide Area Application Services devices. The software will
allow IT managers to validate the results of
Wan optimisation deployments.
The aim of the integration between
WAAS and NetQOS's NetQoS Performance Center performance
measurement, analysis and reporting software is to help enterprises
take before and after measurements for pilot testing WAAS
appliances determine which locations and applications can best
exploit the benefits of WAN optimization and cost-justify
larger-scale deployments by better calculating the ROI.
"NetQOS and
Cisco only see what happens on the network. There is a lot that
goes on inside the applications and databases that they don't have
an understanding of," said David Williams, an analyst with Gartner.
"They show a piece of it, but not the whole thing."
