In today's world, IT administrators have to troubleshoot and fix a problem even before it starts affecting the end user. These degradations can reduce your company’s ability to do business. Network Performance Monitor is a cloud-based hybrid network monitoring solution that helps you monitor network performance between various points in your network. It also helps you monitor network connectivity to service and application endpoints.Without the right access and network performance monitoring tools to the right information, often enterprises have difficulty diagnosing the cause of outages and slowdowns.
Network Performance Monitor detects network issues like traffic blackholing, routing errors, and issues that conventional network monitoring methods aren't able to detect. The solution generates alerts and notifies you when a threshold is breached for a network link. It ensures timely detection of network performance issues and localizes the source of the problem to a particular network segment or device.
Generally, A Network Performance Monitor offers three broad capabilities:
Performance Monitor: Monitors network connectivity across cloud deployments and on-premises locations, multiple data centers, and branch offices and microservices. With Performance Monitor, you can detect network issues before users complain.
Service Endpoint Monitor: You can monitor the connectivity from your users to the services you care about, determine what infrastructure is in the path, and identify where network bottlenecks occur. You can even know the exact location of the issues along your network path.
This capability helps you perform tests based on HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and ICMP to monitor in near real time or historically the availability and response time of your service. You also can monitor the contribution of the network in packet loss and latency. With a network topology map, you can isolate network slowdowns.
ExpressRoute Monitor: Monitor end-to-end connectivity and performance between your branch offices and our Network Performance Monitor. Discover all the ExpressRoute private peerings that are connected to the virtual networks.
When every minute of downtime can cost you thousands, if not millions of dollars, maintaining 100% uptime all the time is a necessity. Hence choose an advanced Network Performance Monitor wisely.
