Network Bandwidth Monitoring Tools

Enterprises across the world are adopting multiple strategies to reduce bottlenecks, enhance network performance, and maximize their ROI to keep up with their evolving hybrid infrastructures. While these strategies vary by organization and deliver their own benefits, they can complicate the way IT infrastructures are monitored. Gaining operational visibility into the network throughput, bandwidth, traffic activity, health, and performance of individual components along with the overall network is imperative in designing an effective monitoring strategy. Network bandwidth monitoring simplifies the process by enabling network admins to monitor bandwidth usage on network and performance.

Network bandwidth monitoring challenges

Comprehending the quantity and quality of the data moving through a network, monitoring the network bandwidth performance, detecting network traffic anomalies, planning network bandwidth requirements, and preventing inordinate spending are critical tasks for every network administrator. But trying to identify a tool that easily and efficiently monitors and manages these metrics is a challenge in itself. There are various strategies IT and network administrators can employ to overcome these challenges for better network bandwidth management.
