Enhance Network Performance with Custom Reports and Dashboards

As a network operator, every second counts. The ability to make informed decisions swiftly and effectively can mean the difference between optimal network performance and costly downtime. Companies now have access to more data than ever before but turning that wealth of information into strategic reports and dashboards requires expertise and time that many organizations can’t spare. Tilson’s Network Operations Center (NOC) experts not only monitor network data, but partner with businesses to build custom reporting and dashboards to drive smarter and more effective decision-making.

The Power of Reporting

Data alone does not tell a full story. Creating custom reports is essential for any business looking to evaluate and improve their network performance.

At its core, strategic reporting must provide the following:

• Crucial benchmark metrics such as mean time to respond, mean time to repair, network uptime, bandwidth utilization, latency, packet loss, security events, and other key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Strategic financial analysis that feeds business decisions such as projecting maintenance costs, highlighting trends, and understanding SLA adherence.
• Efficient network management by revealing optimized resource allocation, network performance, network reliability, and areas for improvement.
• Robust, multifaceted analysis of data across devices, locations, and users. This includes understanding the performance and trends by devices such as routers, switches, and servers; by location such as offices, data centers, and remote sites; and user groups such as role, department, and access level.

Dashboards: Your Data at a Glance

Dashboards are a vital component of network monitoring that offer greater visibility for network metrics in real-time or near-real-time through intuitive graphs, charts, and infographics. A good dashboard lets a viewer quickly grasp complex data and promptly identify anomalies and trends.

Dashboards are an indispensable tool to ensure network performance, reliability, and security through:

• Customization to focus on the key performance indicators and metrics relevant to the specific needs of the company, the network health, and its performance.
• Built-in alerting mechanisms that promptly notify administrators of threshold breaches or anomalies to drive proactive measures.
• Historical analysis that identifies patterns and recurring issues for capacity planning and troubleshooting.
• Real-time or near-real-time bandwidth utilization and network latency to assist administrators with optimizing performance and resource allocation.
• Compliance monitoring via individual or department usage patterns and to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.
