whitepaper How Cisco IT Uses NetFlow to Improve Network Capacity Planning2007-12-17 Cisco Systems
  Of all the issues faced by enterprise companies in managing their networks, capacity planning is one of the most important. More an art than a science until recently, network capacity planning is all about balancing the need to meet user performance expectations against the realities of capital budgeting. WAN bandwidth is expensive. Many companies - and Cisco Systems is no exception - attempt to control costs by acquiring the minimum bandwidth necessary to handle traffic on a circuit. As recently as 2000, Cisco relied almost exclusively on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor overall WAN bandwidth utilization. Measuring overall traffic, however, does little to characterize network traffic, which is essential to deciding if additional capacity is warranted.

whitepaper Case Study: Manufacturing Firm Needs Assurance That Network Infrastructure Can Handle Company Growth2007-12-04 Altius Information Technologies
  A mid-size organization manufactures jeans and other clothing. The firm is rapidly growing, selling in retail malls, and is opening show rooms. Management is concerned that the IT staff and infrastructure cannot support the organization's growth objectives. Altius IT provided a 50 point network assessment with an analysis of data backups, anti-virus, e-mail, software licensing, software patching, laptops, and many other areas. In addition to the IT infrastructure, Altius Work Plan included interviews with IT, management, and key users to determine if there was an alignment or satisfaction issue with IT.

whitepaper NetMotion Mobility XE Scalability2007-05-07 NetMotion Wireless
  Designed to support mobile deployments of any size, NetMotion Mobility XE Mobile VPN software scales easily to accommodate growing mobile workforces, and to provide failover and redundancy. The size of the mobile deployment and the load on the network determines whether a single server or a pool of servers should be used. Very roughly, deployments that involve 1,500 or fewer simultaneously connected mobile devices (clients) can use one Mobility XE server; larger deployments can use a pool of up to twelve servers to handle as many as 15,000 simultaneously connected clients. Whatever the size of the deployment, the server(s) and clients are centrally configured and managed from a unified, web-based console.

Read this white paper to learn more about Mobility XE's ability to easily scale to meet your organization's changing mobile deployment needs.

whitepaper Wireless Network Quality of Service (QoS)2007-10-09 NetMotion Wireless
  A key challenge faced by enterprise IT management is how to ensure the productivity of the growing population of mobile workers. A successful mobile deployment can empower mobile workers with the resources they need to be effective at the point of service, resulting in a more productive workforce, expedited customer service, happier customers and increased revenue. Selecting the right mobile solutions and managing today's mobile enterprise, however, is not a simple task.

Successful mobile deployments require IT management to take a holistic approach managing all elements of the mobile deployment, including applications, wireless networks and devices. This white paper describes how Quality of Service (QoS) can enable organizations to maximize mobile worker productivity and fully leverage the benefits of their mobile deployments.

whitepaper Architecture of a Network Monitor2007-12-01 University of Cambridge
  This paper describes a system for simultaneously monitoring multiple protocols. It performs full line-rate capture and implements on-line analysis and compression to record interesting data without loss of information. The researchers accept that the balance must be maintained in such a system between disk-bandwidth, CPU-capacity and data-reduction in order to perform monitoring at full line-rate. The researchers present the architecture in detail and measure the performance of the sample implementation, Nprobe.

whitepaper Network Admission Control Design2007-12-01 Cisco Systems
  As the number of unmanaged devices used by employees, contractors, and guests who need access to the network expands, the likelihood of noncompliance with the security policies also increases. To solve this dilemma, many IT professionals are either implementing or considering Network Admission Control (NAC). Is NAC right for the network? What are the issues in successfully deploying NAC? This webcast answers these questions and shows the principal technical considerations and options available to one in a mature, goal-oriented NAC implementation.
