The product features a Services Model so administrators can monitor and manage how well their networks are serving business needs, such as making sure an application is available, rather than reporting on the status of individual IT components. The products Network Delivery Perspective displays pertinent details of services, applications, servers, infrastructure, and WAN link availability across the environment.
