Network Device Health
UTORA: Your Network's Doctor - Predicting Issues and Keeping Your Network Devices Healthy
​​
Network device health refers to the overall status and operational performance of network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, access points, and other network infrastructure components. Monitoring network device health is critical for ensuring network reliability, performance, and security. It involves tracking various metrics and indicators to detect issues before they impact network operations.
​
Imagine a world where your network can predict its own health problems. UTORA goes beyond simply monitoring your network; it acts as a proactive guardian.
​
Network Device Vitals: Beyond the Basics
UTORA doesn't just track basic network device metrics like uptime. It delves deeper, collecting detailed "device vitals" like:
​​
-
CPU and Memory Utilization: UTORA monitors how hard your devices are working, ensuring they have the resources to handle network traffic efficiently.
-
Interface Errors: Any hiccups in data transmission are flagged, pinpointing potential hardware issues or configuration problems.
-
Interface Broadcasts: We proactively monitor all network interfaces for broadcast traffic levels. Any sudden anomalies can be early indicators of potential network issues, allowing us to address them before they disrupt user experience.
-
Link Utilization: UTORA keeps an eye on how much traffic each network link is carrying. This helps identify potential bottlenecks and areas for optimization.
​
Learning from the Data:
UTORA is a smart system. Over time, it analyzes these device vitals and learns the normal operating parameters of your network. This allows it to:
​
-
Identify Early Warning Signs: Even slight deviations from the established baseline can indicate potential issues before they escalate.
-
Predict Device Degradation: UTORA can predict when a device might be nearing the end of its lifespan, allowing for proactive replacements to prevent network disruptions.
-
Suggest Upgrades: Based on traffic patterns and utilization, UTORA can recommend strategic upgrades to network devices or links, ensuring your network scales efficiently as your needs evolve.
