Download the LiveAction 14-Day Trial from http://liveaction.com/download-qos/ There are thousands of applications running on today’s networks. Some are mission critical, others are latency sensitive. Enterprises must adopt QoS or Quality of Service management tools that control how traffic is prioritized and handled during congestion. Read more to learn how Live Action’s easy-to-deploy QoS solution provides powerful monitoring and analytics tools, as well as quick diagnosis of application performance issues through visual displays.

2. Thousands of applications are running on today’s networks. Some are mission critical.
Others are latency sensitive. Still others are bandwidth hogs. QoS, or Quality of Service,
delivers predictable application performance across the network. Without QoS,
applications suffer.
The most common QoS management tools rely on traffic classification. If you can’t
classify traffic, you can’t control it.
Let’s compare a network with QoS and without. QoS gives visibility and control. Without
QoS, you end up with a free for all, where the most aggressive traffic wins. Clearly not a
situation most enterprises can live with.
When looking for the right QoS solution, there are several key considerations.
1. The first is ease of use. Can you easily see what is running on the network? Is it
easy to set policies? Will you need a large staff to manage the solution?
2. The second consideration is flexibility. Can you copy and deploy an existing policy
across new devices? Can you use your solution for both cloud-based and on-
premise applications? Does the solution work in a variety of environments? Can you
make on-the-fly policy adjustments?
3. The third consideration is the power of the solution. Start with monitoring - it’s all
about deep traffic classification, comprehensive analysis and robust troubleshooting.
Next, effective management - we’re talking about powerful QoS policies that can be
set up and validated quickly. And finally, scalability - does the solution allow for the
size of your network today? What happens in 5 years?
