Here is a short list of the top five reasons why you seriously should consider to implement bandwidth monitoring in your network:
  1. Avoid bandwidth- and server-based bottlenecks
  2. Find out what applications or servers use up your bandwidth
  3. Strategically plan infrastructure upgrades
  4. Deliver better service to both internal and external users by being proactive
  5. Reduce costs by buying bandwidth and hardware according to actual load
You don't have to look far to find a bandwidth-monitoring solution -- the market is full of them. However, that being said, they're simply not all created equal. We'll help you evaluate various monitoring solutions and find the right one for your team in the next post of this miniseries.
