What is network optimization?

Network optimization is the process of analyzing and improving your network’s performance by identifying bottlenecks, reducing latency, managing bandwidth efficiently, and ensuring reliable connectivity. With the proper platform, you can monitor device health, traffic patterns, and capacity trends in real time, enabling you to proactively address issues before they affect users.

How can Auvik identify and resolve bandwidth bottlenecks?

Our network optimization tool collects flow data from NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and J-Flow protocols to show you exactly which devices, applications, and users are consuming bandwidth. You’ll see top talkers in real time, drill down to specific traffic patterns, and set threshold alerts when usage approaches critical levels.

How does Auvik help with network capacity planning and forecasting?

Our system continuously collects historical bandwidth data and displays trends over adjustable time periods. Visual reports can show growth for planning infrastructure investments before capacity becomes critical.

Can Auvik monitor latency and performance across distributed sites?

Yes. Auvik uses ICMP ping probes to measure round-trip latency to every device at intervals you can configure based on your monitoring needs. Dashboards provide visibility across all locations, highlighting network latency and tracking site-to-site connectivity so you can optimize traffic paths.

How does Auvik establish performance baselines to detect anomalies?

Our platform continuously collects metrics for CPU, memory, bandwidth, latency, jitter, and packet loss, storing historical data for up to two years. You can set custom threshold alerts based on your environment’s specific requirements and fine-tune these thresholds per device type to catch performance issues early.

How is Auvik’s network optimization tool different from traditional monitoring solutions?

Traditional tools force you to jump between separate systems to correlate device health, traffic patterns, and topology data. Our platform unifies everything in single-pane dashboards where real-time alerts overlay directly on interactive network maps, dramatically reducing troubleshooting time.

Can Auvik integrate with my existing IT service management tools?

Yes. Our platform integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, ConnectWise, and other popular ITSM platforms. Alerts can automatically create tickets in your existing workflows, and we offer APIs for custom integrations without replacing tools your team already uses.

Does network optimization with Auvik require hardware upgrades or special equipment?

No. Our network optimization solution uses a lightweight software collector that runs on your existing infrastructure with no specialized hardware required. The collector works with over 15,000 device types from 700+ vendors, leveraging standard protocols like SNMP, NetFlow, and sFlow that your devices already support.
