Looking for ways to improve network stability and network reliability? This page offers some tips - from load balancing, to managing CPU resources, to using network monitoring and reliability management software tools.

Improving Network Stability & Reliability

Network reliability and network performance are often taken for granted—until the network goes down. When this happens, productivity plummets, frustrations flare and business as usual comes to a grinding halt. Fortunately, there are things that network administrators can do in order to improve network performance:

Balance the load: In order to achieve optimal network performance, you'll want to balance your physical or virtual servers with a variety of network intensive and non network intensive applications. In other words, split up your network intensive applications over your entire server spectrum. This will decrease the amount of work any one server needs to do, preventing it from slowing down the rest of the network.

Manage CPU and memory resources: If your server's CPU or memory resources are being overtaxed, an application or server crash may not be far behind. Spikes in CPU activity can cause a network to cease functioning, and memory issues can cause network latency issues. Monitoring and properly managing both the server's CPU and memory can ensure continued network functionality and performance.

Employ network monitoring and maintenance software: Manually monitoring and optimizing the network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week just isn't a viable or realistic option. Fortunately, software solutions like triCerat's Simplify Stability address real-world network issues and solve application performance problems.

Simplify Stability Improves Productivity, Reduces Hardware and Support Costs

Simplify Stability gives you control over the way that Windows allocates and manages CPU and memory resources. Using Simplify Stability, network admins can effectively monitor and distribute applications based on their baseline system resource requirements.

triCerat's Simplify Stability boosts application performance by improving Terminal Service speed and increasing the number of sessions your servers can support. Using Simplify Stability, network administrators can more effectively perform session and server stat audits, leading to better management, planning and reporting of system utilization and performance.
