Abstract
CA Performance Management is a full network
performance management solution, but network flow
data and application response time metrics can
complete the picture when monitoring complex,
advanced networks. Join us to learn how to
implement CA Network Flow Analysis and CA
Application Delivery Analysis into an existing CA
Performance Management solution to take full
advantage of a combined user interface and work
environment. Pre-registration strongly encouraged as
space is limited; pre-registered attendees will be
admitted first.

How Do We Leverage the Data?
§ What are the applications in use?
§ Who is accessing the applications?
§ How do the applications get from point A to point B?
§ What are we monitoring? (e.g.; SNMP, flow, packets)
§ What are we trying to convey to this role?
Think of Workflow and Context
