ROCKVILLE, Md., -- Nov. 3, 2004 -- Visual Networks, Inc.(R) (Nasdaq: VNWK), a leading provider of network and application performance management solutions, today announced that it will be hosting a free Web seminar featuring guest speaker Stephen Elliott, senior analyst, network management, IDC. The event, being held November 10 at 2 PM EST, is ideal for IT professionals responsible for network management or application delivery.
Network managers are no longer responsible for only connectivity and bandwidth issues, but must now manage network usage by application, troubleshoot application delivery and ensure security. Historically, however, neither traditional application performance tools nor network management tools provided this range of functionality. The network application integrity (NAI) gap has emerged at the intersection of the network and enterprise applications, and bridging this gap requires solutions that enable network managers to correlate network performance data with application information at every site.
"Network managers are under increasing pressure to proactively avert network and application downtime, efficiently manage network bandwidth, and roll out new applications," said Larry Barker, President and CEO of Visual Networks. "This Webinar, along with our recently released NAI white paper, provides network managers with actionable information they can use to optimize network and application performance management."
