Problems can occur anywhere from the physical layer to wireless, across the WAN, through the core and into the data center. The application delivery infrastructure is a highly interdependent eco-system and with no visibility into how this entire system is performing as a single entity, resulting in organizations being faced with high costs in network downtime, lost revenues and poor performance in terms of fast problem identification.
Without the ability to understand how one component maybe affects another at a specific point in time it becomes difficult if not impossible to quickly understand how well the infrastructure is transporting applications, how well those applications are performing, and where the problem truly lies.
