How did we reduce bandwidth cost by at least 25%.

Real-case scenario

Network team were facing real challenge when the employees started

complaining about slow internet connection & difficulty in accessing

mails, voice calls & business applications. In order to maintain the

growing need of bandwidth, they ended up buying bigger pipelines and

more bandwidth cost.

Challenge:

Solution:

“When we got introduced to NetFlow Analyzer, we started to capture

flows and analyze it. Initially, the issue was unknown to us. But when

we analyzed 3 days of data, we were able to trace the actual traffic

patterns. The problem lied with two applications which were consuming

the entire bandwidth during peak business hours. Antivirus updates &

MS SQL replication were consuming most of the bandwidth & hence we

scheduled them during odd business hours. This saved bandwidth cost

by 25% to the company. NetFlow Analyzer helps us to keep track of

bandwidth usage for each apps, devices & IP addresses. And, we were

able to revert back to previous connection lines for bandwidth & also

maintain a healthy network for delivery of services.”
