Savings

Reduced MTTR
Mazu Profiler's unique end-to-end view of the application delivery path expedites the troubleshooting process for both security and application delivery events. As a result, IT understands the inter-relationships among all the applications and the network and server components that work together to deliver application services to business users.
  • Behavioral analysis reduces the "noise" and missed events typical of threshold-based solutions.
  • Action-oriented alarms provide context for security and application delivery events including most probable cause.
  • Integrated data model that incorporates network, server, application and response time data as well as rich integrations with other management tools to streamline troubleshooting workflow.
  • Reduces revenue loss from business service disruptions.
  • Reduces troubleshooting man-hour requirements of highly skilled network and security staff.
Minimal Hardware Deployment
One of the common contributors to Mazu's success in winning customers is our ability to provide visibility and security with a minimal deployment of devices such as IDS sensors or network probes. Our lightweight deployment model scales by number of data centers as opposed to WAN links or remote sites.
  • Application response-time and layer 7 visibility into Web-based application traffic without the need to deploy large numbers of network probes.
  • Compliance with intrusion detection regulatory requirements without large numbers of IDS sensors.
  • Integration with existing data sources and management
    systems.
  • Significantly reduces capital expenditures required to reach full deployment.
  • Eliminates operations expenses related to maintaining remote hardware and agents.

Optimized Use of Skilled Staff
Mazu's focus on ease of implementation and accelerating workflows reduces the amount of time spent by skilled staff on management processes.

  • Intuitive navigation and UI allow network, security, and data center personnel to view the same infrastructure from their unique perspectives.
  • Pivot tables - based on a data model that integrates user, network, servers, and applications - answer significantly more questions than competitive implementations before requiring to you to turn to another tool.
  • User-defined policies, self-learning analytics, and rich context alerting minimize the time spent interacting with the management system for planning, troubleshooting, and proactive management.
  • Increases the percentage of workflow that can be completed at a lower pay scale.
  • Frees up highly skilled personnel for problem avoidance and planning activities, eliminating the need for costly outside resources.
  • Reduces the overall operational expense of network, application, and security management processes.
WAN Bandwidth Rationalization
Mazu customers can avoid costly bandwidth upgrades by identifying and minimizing non-business use of expensive WAN resources.
  • Layer 7 visibility into Web-based application traffic allows you to discriminate between non-business use of the Internet and Web-based business applications.
  • Historical usage views allow identification of batch and back-up processes interfering with time-critical applications during peak activity periods.
  • Assists prioritization of WAN links that would most benefit from optimization, enabling you to focus capital expenditures for best results.
  • Identifies cases where bandwidth upgrades can be avoided, reducing ongoing WAN expense.
Minimized Business Service Options
The Aberdeen Group estimates that, on average, outages and slowdowns affect revenues from business services by 9 percent. Mazu Profiler has unique abilities that enable early detection of and assurance against service disruption.
  • Advanced analytics provide early detection of changes in numbers of user connections, response time, network availability, and bandwidth utilization that will adversely affect delivery of key applications and services.
  • Rich context information, including most probable cause, is provided to accelerate problem resolution.
  • User-defined policies enable truly proactive service assurance by mitigating problem recurrence.
  • Significant reduction in the time required to restore disrupted services minimizes the operating cost of problem resolution.
  • Proactive assurance reduces the number of service-affecting incidents, thus maximizing services income.
