Dell EMC recommends the following best practices:
● View traffic end-to-end from the application’s view point.
● Deploy network management infrastructure rapidly, where needed, when needed, and on-demand.
● Extend analysis beyond the network and watch traffic to and from your host.
● Focus on real-time assessment and use trend analysis to backup your conclusions.
● Emphasize effective over absolute — leverage management solutions that resolve your most common, most expensive
problem quickly.
● Address networking performance issues before you focus on the application performance.
● Use methodologies and technologies that fit your network and needs.
● Continuously monitor performance and availability as a baseline for system performance and system up time to quickly
separate network issues from application issues.
