But many businesses lack visibility of their SD-WAN network. So here's how to achieve the visibility you need to monitor your SD-WAN service.

How to Monitor SD WAN Networks | Obkio

To truly see the performance & promise of your SD-WAN network, you need to monitor: How to Monitor SD-WAN Networks

With the increasing use of cloud-based apps, businesses are more reliant than ever on the Internet to deliver WAN traffic. So they're migrating from MPLS networks to hybrid WAN architectures and SD-WAN technology.

But many businesses lack visibility of their SD-WAN network. So here's how to achieve the visibility you need to monitor your SD-WAN service.

1.  Deploy a Network Monitoring Software

End-to-end network monitoring is what you need to monitor before & after SD-WAN migrations.  Most solutions don’t offer the depth and visibility needed for monitoring modern WAN networks

Obkio Network Monitoring continuously monitors end-to-end network performance 
- With Synthetic Traffic 
- & Network Monitoring Agents 
- In Key Network Locations 

Use Obkio’s free trial and Getting Started Tutorial to begin: obkio.com/docs/getting-started/

2. Monitor the SD-WAN Promise

To truly see the performance & promise of your SD-WAN network, you need to monitor: 
- End-User Performance 
- The performance of ISP A  
- The performance of ISP B 

 You can use this setup to confirm the real network performance of the end-users and also monitor each ISP connection.

3. Analyze Historical Data

Analyzing historical data is key to understanding the effect of SD-WAN services on your network.

Obkio collects historical data so you can analyze, compare, and troubleshoot performance from the past.

4. Identify SD-WAN Network Problems

Use the data you collected to identify network problems related to your SD-WAN network and troubleshoot with your IT team or service provider. 

Analyze data to identify:  
- What the problem is 
- Where & When it happened 
- What is the cause and source

5. Start Monitoring your SD-WAN Network

How to Troubleshoot Networks with Employees Working From Home | Obkio

With many employees now working remotely, IT teams have had to change the way they manage their networks and services.

Intermittent network issues are hard to troubleshoot and more so with remote users working from home.

Many of our customers have used Obkio to identify and troubleshoot network issues for their remote employees working from home.

From working with these customers, we’ve encountered a lot of similar issues that remote employees often encounter.

1. Problems with Unified Communication Apps 
Remote employees rely on UC apps to communicate, so problems like laggy video quality, choppy Internet connection and other quality issues can be frustrating.

2. VoIP Quality Issues 
VoIP Quality issues are very common for remote employees since VoIP Quality can be very sensitive to network performance.

3. Slow Application Performance
Slowdowns for apps like ERP and CRMs can greatly affect productivity.

4. VPN Disconnection 
When working from home, many users can experience VPN disconnectivity and no longer have access to the files and documents they need to work.

5. Remote Desktop (RDP/Citrix) Disconnection
Remote desktops are a great way to streamline file sharing, but they can also be unstable by locking up or disconnecting in the middle of tasks.

Problems affecting home networks can occur in several different places in your network. Here are some examples of problems that occur close to remote workers...

1) Wifi Problems  
2)  Cable Issues 
3) Network Congestion 
4) Local Loop Issues

Let’s quickly go over the vocabulary surrounding network monitoring with Obkio!

What is Network Monitoring | Obkio

What is Network Monitoring?

We talk a lot about monitoring Network Performance, but what exactly does that mean?

Let’s quickly go over the vocabulary surrounding network monitoring.

When we talk about traditional network monitoring, we often refer to Fault Monitoring or Device Monitoring.
 - Device Monitoring refers to monitoring the use of network resources or network devices using SNMP protocol.

Network monitoring covers a vast range of techniques. It begins with device monitoring, but you can take it further by monitoring end-to-end user experience.

- Network Performance Monitoring, which is what we do at Obkio, is end-to-end network monitoring of the user experience.


Network Performance Monitoring differs from traditional monitoring because performance is monitored:
- From the end-user perspective
- And between two points in the network
 
For example...

- The performance between a user, who works in the office, and the application they use in the company’s data center. 

- The performance between the head office and the Internet.

- The performance between your users and the cloud. 

- The performance between two offices in a network.

What is Network Performance?
So what exactly are we measuring when we say network "performance" monitoring? 

Simply put, Network Performance refers to the analysis and review of network performance as seen by end-users.

There are three important concepts in that definition:

1. Analysis and Review: Measuring key network metrics associated with network performance to collect and compare a history of the data you’ve measured.

2. Measuring Performance  Network Performance refers to the quality of the network. The quality will be different depending on where in the network the measurements are taken, as well as when they are taken.

3. The End-User: The end-user experience is the most important factor. With the right monitoring tools we can turn the user's experience into measurable metrics, and translate those measurements into areas for improvement.

And that's where Obkio comes in. 

Obkio Network Monitoring continuously monitors your network performance, to notify you when network problems occur - and gather information you need to troubleshoot them.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Obkio is a simple network performance monitoring solution that allows users to continuously monitor the health of their network and core business applications to improve the end-user experience.  

Easily identify the source of a system failure and so you can quickly apply the corrective measures, right at the heart of the problem, before it affects your end users.
