Abstract
In the application economy, application delivery
performance issues come at a high cost due to
increasing customer expectations. Learn how to
identify the real problem when performance
suffers so that issues are resolved quickly, with
minimal false starts and finger-pointing across
departments, using CA Network Flow Analysis
and CA Application Delivery Analysis.

Application – Driven Network Performance
Management

 Visibility into System
Performance through
Probes, i.e. CDM, RSP, etc.
 Application Performance
through App driven Probes
i.e. Exchange, Citrix, Lotus
Notes, Databases, Java, etc.
 Visibility into application
response time to gauge how
well the network delivers
services to end users
 Centralized view of infrastructure
health and performance (UMP)
 Visibility into Network
Performance through
SNMPCollector
 Visibility into network traffic
composition, behavior,
utilization and the impact on
application performance

 Customizable, role-based access and reporting
 Web console with top-down and drill-down navigation
 Single interface for problem discovery down to root cause
 Correlated key metrics for infrastructure planning and decision support
 Third-party data integration

Lab Exercise 1 – Network Traffic Analysis
In the following lab exercise, you will:
 Install and configure NFA Inventory probe
 View network traffic and device performance
(SNMP) details for an interface
 View Type of Service and CBQoS details (SNMP)
for an intervace
 Understand the value of traffic analysis and
device performance data together in a
single view

Lab Exercise 1 Summary
You should now be able to:
 Install and configure NFA Inventory probe
 View network traffic, Type of Service, and SNMP device
performance data in context of an interface
 Understand the value of traffic analysis and SNMP
device performance data together in a single view

Lab Exercise 2 – Quantify Application Delivery
Performance
In the following lab exercise, you will:
 Install and configure ADA Inventory probe
 Execute operational workflow using application
delivery data (CA ADA) within USM
 Understand each of the charts in the Advanced
tab and its role in quantifying application delivery
issues within the network infrastructure

Lab Exercise 2 Summary
You should now be able to:
 Install and configure the ADA_Inventory probe
 Execute USM workflow using CA ADA metric data
 Understand each of the CA ADA charts in the
Advanced tab and articulate its value when
quantifying application delivery issues in the
network infrastructure
