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.
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
Both conditions affect application experience. Only one is commonly detected.
| Condition | What happens | Detection |
|---|---|---|
| Blackout | Complete link failure — application unreachable | Detected by traditional monitoring |
| Brownout | Link remains technically active; increased latency or packet loss degrades voice, video and transactional applications | Often missed by basic availability monitoring |
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.
