Network Bandwidth Management and Control Software

Ensure bandwidth control with easy-to-use tools

Analyze network traffic patterns for improved bandwidth control

Analyze network traffic patterns for improved bandwidth control

With SolarWinds® Hybrid Cloud Observability you can collect traffic data from NetFlow, sFlow, J-Flow, IPFIX, and NetStream. Bandwidth analyzing capabilities within Hybrid Cloud Observability enable you to parse this data into an easy-to-read format and display it on a centralized web-based interface, making it easy to view and analyze. You can also create ad hoc network traffic reports right from the dashboard to help you identify network traffic patterns and make changes before an incident occurs.

Control users and applications to optimize bandwidth usage

Control users and applications to optimize bandwidth usage

With Hybrid Cloud Observability users can drill down into network traffic from multiple viewpoints until they identify what’s causing network congestion. With these insights, users can make Quality of Service (QoS) changes to optimize bandwidth usage.

In addition, the CBQoS performance views can help you measure the effectiveness of existing policies and quantify bandwidth consumption by class map and help you measure the effectiveness of QoS policies.

Use bandwidth control software to pinpoint excessive network bandwidth utilization

Use bandwidth control software to pinpoint excessive network bandwidth utilization

Hybrid Cloud Observability helps users identify which apps and endpoints are consuming the most network bandwidth by tracking traffic arriving at ports, source and destination IPs, and protocols. With this ability, users can see which applications and users are consuming too much network bandwidth and make the necessary changes to improve bandwidth optimizations.

Users can also identify the user tied to the endpoint and use this information to enforce better utilization policies for specific employees.

Get notified with bandwidth utilization alerts when users or elements exceed allotments

Get notified with bandwidth utilization alerts when users or elements exceed allotments

Hybrid Cloud Observability is designed with capabilities that enable users to set alerts based on customized bandwidth thresholds for their network. If there’s a sudden change in application traffic or if a device stops sending flow data, you can receive alerts, so you can quickly remediate the issue.

Maintain control over the network to avoid and identify bandwidth bottlenecks

Maintain control over the network to avoid and identify bandwidth bottlenecks

Bandwidth analysis capabilities within Hybrid Cloud Observability help users get to the root cause of bandwidth bottlenecks by providing access to a UI that can display flow data analysis from multiple sources. With this centralized dashboard, you can better visualize traffic patterns to mitigate congestion occurring on the network.

Do you find yourself asking…
  • What is bandwidth management?
  • How does bandwidth control work?
  • Why is bandwidth control important?
  • What does bandwidth control software do?
  • How does bandwidth control work in Hybrid Cloud Observability?
  • What is bandwidth management?

    Bandwidth management, also referred to as bandwidth control, involves measuring and controlling how bandwidth is used on the network. Bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data will transfer on a network.

    By using bandwidth management software, you can better control how data transfer is handled on a network, given bandwidth constraints. If bandwidth isn’t monitored and controlled, users run the risk of encountering network congestion and poor network performance.

  • How does bandwidth control work?

    Bandwidth control works by using bandwidth monitoring to gain visibility and insights into a network to help improve bandwidth utilization and overall network performance.

    This first step to control bandwidth is by identifying devices, users, or processes consuming too much bandwidth. With this insight, you can determine the best way to limit and manage bandwidth usage. Common bandwidth control methods include:

    • Traffic limiting or shaping. Traffic shapers, also known as packet shapers, are designed to limit the bandwidth and the speed assigned to certain data streams, which enables users to limit bandwidth from certain applications or even specify how much bandwidth is available for individual users.
    • Quality of Service (QoS) checking. This process can be used alongside traffic shapers. If packet shaping is designed to limit low-priority network traffic, QoS checking prioritizes the most important network traffic to ensure it’s sent out before other traffic bogs down the network and delays arrival times.

  • Why is bandwidth control important?

    Bandwidth control is important because it lowers the risk of network bottlenecks and helps improve overall system performance. When your network becomes overworked, its performance can be negatively affected. It’s important for users to enforce bandwidth control to keep network speeds optimized.

  • What does bandwidth control software do?

    Bandwidth management software is built to automate the bandwidth control process by monitoring network devices and applications, analyzing consumption, and providing insights in real time to help users make better decisions about bandwidth utilization. Not only can automating bandwidth management save valuable time, but it can also improve the quality of monitoring.

    Bandwidth management tools can help you measure, check, customize, and limit the distribution of your bandwidth and data rates at any point in time.

  • How does bandwidth control work in Hybrid Cloud Observability?

    Hybrid Cloud Observability has high-powered bandwidth management capabilities designed to enable users to easily maintain control over their network.

    Bandwidth management capabilities within Hybrid Cloud Observability help users better analyze network traffic patterns. Hybrid Cloud Observability can collect flow data and help users view traffic patterns on a network, either over long periods of time or second by second. With these insights, users can improve their bandwidth monitoring.

    Bandwidth management capabilities within Hybrid Cloud Observability enable users to easily inspect and isolate unwanted network traffic by highlighting where busy network bandwidth exists. They can also help you identify which users, applications, and protocols are consuming the most bandwidth, so you can better allocate resources and take more informed measures to resolve or prevent bottlenecking.
