Enterprise Optimization Assessments: Timely Returns, No Untimely Surprises

Can we quantify return on strategic IT investments?

Did we choose the right vendors and equipment?

Can we prove how well it works?

Businesses invest in strategic technology initiatives to increase operational efficiency, reduce network CapEx, maximize revenues, and achieve a competitive lead—none of which happens if the technologies fail to perform. When your strategic initiatives don’t deliver as promised, time-to-market, profitability, and the quality of the customer experience all suffer needlessly.

Too often, companies expose themselves to unacceptable risk by failing to assess and validate new technology and equipment prior to deployment. Having vital data ahead of time—like whether Wi-Fi access will prove reliable or how virtualization will impact applications—arms IT and business managers to make strategic investment decisions with confidence.

In today's dynamic global economy, ensuring operational excellence and mitigating risk requires a proactive, comprehensive approach:

• Conducting up-front due diligence on vendors, equipment and services
• Negotiating performance-based contracts
• Proactively modeling live conditions and "what if" scenarios
• Measuring network, Web and application performance
• Keeping security and compliance up to date
• Demonstrating value

It also requires a premier partner.

Ixia: The "Gold Standard" Partner in Demonstrating Value

The leading test solution partner of networking infrastructure manufacturers and service providers worldwide, Ixia equips enterprises to simulate their own live networking environments to assess:

• Network Performance: Can corporate networks meet QoS and QoE expectations while scaling to support new users, multiplay services, and the migration to IPv6?
• Data Center: What value can be achieved through strategic investments in LAN/SAN convergence, virtualization, and cloud services?
• Wi-Fi Access: How ready are sites to support mobility and WLANs to provide anytime, anywhere access as usage increases?
• Security: Are threat databases and recovery procedures able to deter and overcome attacks without alienating customers?

Our test solutions and onsite assessments help to prove—and improve—the value of strategic investments throughout the deployment lifecycle. We help maximize the performance, scalability, and security of technologies—and data—in real time amidst real conditions.
