TOP WAN APPLICATIONS IN USE

The WAN carries whatever the business throws at it, and nobody can say which applications consume what. QoS policies are set once and never revisited against reality.

Business Question

"Is our expensive WAN carrying business applications or lunchtime streaming — and would our QoS policy even know the difference?"

What SPoG Does

  • Delivers an application-level view of WAN traffic — what runs, where, and its bandwidth impact.
  • Ranks applications by consumption so prioritization decisions rest on facts.
  • Informs QoS policy from observed behaviour, keeping critical apps protected as usage evolves.
