Deploy Cisco IP SLA Enabled Monitoring in Less Than an Hour

Sure, your local applications at headquarters are running perfectly (as usual). So why do those pesky satellite offices keep reporting their applications are slow? It couldn’t possibly be the WAN’s fault… or could it?

Orion IP SLA Manager answers this question and much more. This new module for Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) allows you to monitor WAN performance by tracking key edge-to-edge router performance statistics using Cisco IP SLA technology. Like NetFlow, IP SLA technology is included free in the IOSs of most Cisco WAN routers.

Orion IP SLA Manager evolved from our previous Orion VoIP Monitor to deliver a powerful solution for identifying site-specific and WAN-related network performance issues. This module identifies which devices on your network support IP SLA operations and automatically sets up operations, eliminating any guesswork.

Finally, you can monitor key WAN applications by analyzing the performance of the underlying network protocols, including DNS lookups, FTP, HTTP, TCP connect, and UDP jitter. Of course, you can also continue to monitor VoIP call paths to ensure quality of service (QoS) for your voice traffic. Go ahead and get a new perspective on your network with Orion IP SLA Manager!
