This winter we're looking forward to our upcoming Winter Webinar Series and hope you'll join us, with topics including network forensics, distributed application visibility, and Cyber security. Jay Botelho and Chris Bloom will also be continuing their Coffee Corner Chat series, and we'd like to hear what topics you would like Jay and Chris to discuss. Drop us an email and let us know what you'd like to see on the next Coffee Corner video.

FOCUS ON: WatchPoint 2.0

WatchPoint 2.0, released at the beginning of October, is a reporting solution that aggregates data from sources across your entire global network. In a single system you have SNMP, flow-based and packet-based network monitoring and reporting. The solution satisfies management's need for high-level reporting, while also meeting network engineers' need to both analyze historical network data and perform real-time root-cause network analysis.

• Learn more about the capabilities of WatchPoint 2.0 with a guided tour of the solution from Jay Botelho, Director of Product Management.
• See WatchPoint in action as Jay Botelho walks you through a typical use case.
• Gain more knowledge about the necessity of proactive network performance management by downloading the One View Information Kit, which includes:
  • Analyst White Paper: Essentials for Assuring Network and Application Performance
  • White Paper: Beyond Monitoring – Root-Cause Analysis
  • OnDemand Webcast – A Confluence of Flows: Keeping Your Head Above Water

INFORMATION KIT: Network Forensics

Network forensics isn't just for troubleshooting or solving network security problems. With today's increasingly interconnected, always online workforce, it's often business-critical issues that have nothing to do with performance or cyber attacks, for example, violations of industry regulations or data breaches that drive the need for post-incident analysis. Download this kit to learn what four basic elements your network forensics solution must have and establish guidelines for ongoing data collection in your network.
