Hawkeye overview

In today’s highly competitive environment, the following activities are important to a company’s survival:

• Delivering innovative services such as Voice over IP (VoIP)
• Maintaining unified communications (for example, Skype for Business)
• Migrating business services to cloud
• Streaming videos

The following factors can compromise a company’s network performance and brand reputation:

• Bottlenecks in network
• Latency
• Wireless network issues
• Other hard-to-locate network issues

Network managers and operators need a simple, yet reliable way to continuously verify the performance of their networks for hassle-free application delivery.

The key benefits of Hawkeye are as follows:

• Quickly and effectively validate network performance
• Isolate problems and proactively detect issues by running scheduled verification tests on any site, by using wireline or wireless connections

Hawkeye simulates application traffic and sends key performance metrics to a central console for fast action. To do this, Hawkeye uses a combination of hardware and software agents called performance endpoints. These performance endpoints provide end users perspective of the remote site on network performance. These endpoints empower network managers with proactive ways to detect, diagnose, and fix issues. Measurements range from network quality to user experience and wireless network monitoring. Thus, it enables administrators to improve the overall network up-time and to detect network performance issues before they impact end users.

Hawkeye tests are easy to deploy and use, which helps your company to efficiently assess networks and applications.
