LAN bandwidth monitoring

Do your coworkers use high-performance computers? Are large file transfers and lengthy backups part of your everyday tasks? Or maybe your company is growing quickly – and with it, the number of employees and computers?

All these factors can affect your LAN bandwidth and lead to dips in the performance of your company network. Bandwidth monitoring is vital, especially if your applications are already running slowly (or not working properly) and your coworkers are complaining about a sluggish network.

Since all the main devices in your office (PCs, printers, servers, etc.) operate within your LAN, the company network must run smoothly to ensure work processes remain efficient.

Just one overloaded router or switch in your LAN can paralyze the entire network and significantly slow down work processes or even bring them to a halt. When companies grow quickly, so does the number of connected devices in their network – and the potential bottlenecks that can cause transmission holdups or congestion.

By monitoring your bandwidth, you can find out exactly what is behind this congestion. You'll see which devices and applications are using the most bandwidth and where potential bottlenecks lie.

A steady network is a must for any efficient company. By keeping a constant eye on your bandwidth, you'll eliminate network congestion and ensure your devices run both quickly and smoothly.

With continual, long-term monitoring, you can immediately identify risks and errors before they become problems or lead to downtime that costs your company time and money. For companies to be productive, their LANs must be in perfect working order.
