Network Management Strategies for the CIO
Access "Using wireless network bandwidth monitoring to stay within data caps"
This article is part of the August 2012 Vol. 3, No. 4 issue of Data center fabric wars
Given 3G and 4G bandwidth caps and new cloud content synchronization services like iCloud, how can wireless broadband data users conduct network bandwidth monitoring and avoid exceeding limits? Do you have a question for our experts? Submit your question directly to our editors at editor@searchnetworking.com Monitoring bandwidth usage has long been a challenge for wireless broadband users. Checking a carrier’s website to eyeball usage-to-date is hardly a real-time solution, and new cloud apps are boosting usage to record highs. For some users, the first indication that something is amiss is an unexpectedly big bill. Figuring out which app or setting is the culprit can be tough. Enterprises can deploy mobile expense management tools, using device-resident agents for monitoring bandwidth usage. Such tools can help enterprises enforce bandwidth caps by generating admin or user threshold notifications – perhaps even changing a smartphone or tablet setting when defined limits are approached. Individuals can accomplish part or all of this through native ... Access >>>
