In this digital age, information technology is the innovation engine and a force of transformation for most enterprises. The move from a cost center to a source of productivity has placed new demands on IT to demonstrate faster return on investment than ever before.
With new scrutiny and more stringent reporting requirements, the IT organization often is pressed to show ROI in more concrete and objective ways. What is the return on a new application rollout, or the proposed WAN optimization project? What is the performance impact of the latest hardware purchase? Or for that matter, how much additional hardware and bandwidth is needed to meet the projected growth?
Operations teams today are experiencing a painful knowledge gap - lacking a clear and concise understanding of how applications are delivered across highly distributed, increasingly virtualized infrastructures. Constant change makes accuracy an exceedingly difficult objective, and the result is long, drawn-out troubleshooting cycles and sub-par planning. ExtraHop brings an innovative new approach by revealing and analyzing rich application layer details from the network perspective.

Without accurate benchmarks, IT organizations tend to overbuy hardware and bandwidth. The fear of an underpowered system motivates IT management to throw dollars at the problem, costing the business millions in unnecessary expenditures. Sometimes equipment vendors exacerbate the problem by recommending new purchases or upgrades rather then helping clients to understand the true cause of specific performance issues.
The ExtraHop Application Delivery Assurance system offers intelligent baselining that learns over time, based on your specific network patterns. These detailed metrics enable network teams to plan for capacity and demonstrate the true ROI of infrastructure and application projects.
