netEvidence, a leading company that monitors the performance of technologies that enable Business Outcomes, recently announced in a press release a huge uptake of its Highlight Flow Support, that monitors over 20,000 end user locations and reports on the technologies that enable successful business outcomes.

The solution allows networkers to assess the network traffic at a point of time, the user of the traffic and its effects on vital business applications. The solution delivers NetFlow performance data by accessing the Flow capabilities that are widely available in devices from Cisco (News - Alert), Juniper, HP and others.

According to the officials from netEvidence, the Highlight Flow Support has been increasingly used in business applications such as video conferencing, training videos and customer demos alongside video streaming via Wi-Fi-enabled smartphones and iPads in its customers.

 “Highlight Flow Support is proving to be the perfect tool in today’s market where businesses need to fully exploit their existing IT investments, Richard Thomas, Managing Director of NetEvidence, said in a statement. “The more these organizations understand about who is consuming what, where and when, the better they can optimize their networks and improve the performance of their businesses.”AIRCOM (News - Alert) International, a leading independent network planning and optimization solutions provider, deployed Highlight Flow Support and claims to be reaping rich benefits from it. “With Highlight Flow Support, we track usage down to individual user conversations, identifying exactly when network resources are being consumed and by whom,” said Craig Ellis, Infrastructure Manager. “We can see clearly which ports are being used and by how much and even drill down to the exact time of day. We can then ensure that resources are being used legitimately as well as report back to the business if performance is slow, and identify why – perhaps due to heavy internet usage or large file sharing.”

Craig continues, “Highlight Flow Support helps us to streamline how we use our current bandwidth and enables us to plan more effectively for the future. We can tune resources more accurately to users’ needs by having a more thorough understanding of network usage. Rather than rush to invest in new networks, we can make the most from acceleration hardware.”
