Use Case · Application Experience

Keep critical applications available when network conditions change.

Protect enterprise and SaaS application experience through real-time path monitoring, intelligent traffic steering, resilient overlay design and centralised visibility.

The challenge

Application availability depends on more than whether a link is technically up.

An active WAN link may still suffer from packet loss, high latency, jitter or insufficient capacity. These brownout conditions can damage application experience even when traditional monitoring shows that the connection is available.

  • !Link is active but latency has spiked
  • !Packet loss degrades voice and video calls
  • !Jitter disrupts real-time transaction flows
  • !Brownout conditions are missed by basic monitoring
  • !Multiple WAN links with no intelligent selection
  • !SaaS traffic hairpinned through data centres
Blackout vs Brownout

Both conditions affect application experience. Only one is commonly detected.

Platform capabilities

A set of integrated capabilities designed to maintain application experience across changing WAN conditions.

Real-time link assessment

Measure WAN conditions including latency, jitter, packet loss and available capacity.

First-flow application intelligence

Identify application traffic early enough to apply the appropriate routing decision.

Intelligent traffic steering

Direct application traffic over the most suitable available network path.

Overlay flexibility

Support hub-and-spoke, mesh and partial-mesh connectivity models per application requirements.

SaaS local breakout

Reduce avoidable latency for applications such as Microsoft 365 and Salesforce.

Operational visibility

Use network status and traffic-flow data to investigate application-performance issues.

Seamless path transition

Move traffic away from deteriorating connections before a poor-quality link significantly affects users.

Outcomes

What application-resilient networking delivers

  • Reduce application brownouts and blackouts
  • Improve critical application continuity
  • Increase branch resilience
  • Improve voice and video experience
  • Simplify root-cause investigation
  • Provide consistent SaaS access
