Application Performance Management
Cable&Wireless Worldwide Application Performance Management (APM) monitors and manages your business-critical applications to ensure reliable, optimum performance across the Wide Area Network (WAN).
Even with a high-speed LAN in your building, and a high-speed backbone like Cable&Wireless Worldwide, a low-speed WAN link between the two will slow everything down. Bandwidth-hungry applications push your network to its limit, causing slow and unreliable performance that leads to frustrating delays and poor productivity. It also becomes harder to implement new applications.
APM gets the best from your applications. Through dynamic, real time monitoring and management, it makes optimum use of your WAN bandwidth, enhancing application performance and reliability.
HOW IT WORKS
APM analyses your network traffic and applications performance in real time and optimises essential traffic throughout your network, according to your priorities for application importance and time-sensitivity of data.
It monitors, distributes and automatically manages network allocation, via an Ipanema central software management suite, and cooperating IP engine devices at your sites.
APM can also accelerate selected applications across your WAN, using scalable, robust transport architecture to overcome WAN limitations and considerably improve performance of all types of application, from file sharing and databases to software distribution.
