Coping with Bring Your Own Device demands on networks vital for service management

BIRMINGHAM, UK – (07-11-12) - Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) brings added strain on a user network. The behaviour of users is often unpredictable and can, unwittingly, cause bottlenecks or delays. However, it's vital, in an optimised business service management environment, that complete visibility is achieved so that each and every device that connects to the network can be seen, traced, and evaluated in terms of what it is doing, the demands it is making on the network and its security implications.
 
Best practices for business service management are necessary for organisations to monitor, measure, report, and manage IT services so that they are geared toward specific business objectives. Network engineers play a key role in ensuring network performance is optimised, and that key applications are always available.
 
Fluke Network's Visual line of products are optimised to deliver these insights, and control which network engineers need to enable their networks to deliver the promise of BYOD in a flexible, secure, and robust way.
 
The trend towards BYOD represents a huge challenge for network engineers and for the network and emphasizes how critical the network is to the whole area of mobile computing.
 
It's important to test and monitor the network in real-time to ensure security is maintained, to deliver BYOD benefits in terms of user flexibility and productivity. Visual Performance Manager from Fluke Networks achieves that objective in a highly detailed and granular way, enabling network engineers to precisely track devices and IP addresses from a single, central, visual source.
 
The whitepaper by Fluke Networks, Network Applications Performance Alignment to IT Best Practices outlines how Bring Your Own Device can work successfully. To view the white paper, click here.
