Paragon Active Assurance Network Performance Audit Service Datasheet
Download DatasheetService Overview
Paragon Active Assurance Network Performance Audit Service quickly identifies problematic nodes and reports actual network performance in a fixed environment or in mobile backhaul. The service helps to proactively resolve issues before they impact end users.
The Juniper Global Services team can configure a single strategically located test agent to audit thousands of end points through data collection. The collected data is used to monitor and evaluate network performance, providing deeper insights into service performance and trends. This service delivers a real-time view of network performance through a comprehensive audit performed by Juniper Paragon Services experts.
Service Description
As networks grow more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to gain visibility into network performance, understand how services are delivered, and track how performance affects user experience. Juniper® Paragon Active Assurance Network Performance Audit Service, offered by Juniper Global Services, provides complete visibility into the network and how it is performing. This service gives you a comprehensive audit that reports detailed findings gathered from network quality metrics, helping to identify regions or sites with the lowest performance.
To get the most from your Paragon Active Assurance Network Performance Audit Service investment, a single low-footprint, software-based test agent is deployed at the edge of the core network, and synthetic data is sent to multiple recipients equipped with reflector functionality. The traffic is then bounced back by network equipment, continuously monitoring thousands of end points simultaneously.
The Paragon Active Assurance Network Performance Audit Service extends basic network quality metrics to dozens of KPIs. The data gathered is further analyzed, providing deeper insight into service performance and trends, with findings presented in the audit report.
The audit service will:
- Provide visibility into the perceived quality of your network performance
- Pinpoint issues and assess their severity
- Prioritize the most important issues
- Identify regions and sites with the most problems
- Determine the types of faults (such as QoS misconfigurations) detected and the direction in which they are occurring
