Real-Time Network Monitoring Tools
Help Marine Expeditionary Force
Manage In-Theater Assets
This case study explores the role of network monitoring tools in
supporting the network-centric war fighter. It describes how getting
the right information to the right people at the right time -- in a hostile
environment -- can empower theater commanders to make the best
operational decisions in real time.
To attain the valuable but elusive goal of situational awareness,
operational commands need to be able to leverage their information
resources and effectively manage their networks. The case study finds
the the key challenge is not about processing bits and bytes -- it’s
about sharing and managing information.
But a network, however functional and powerful, is only as good as its
ability to accomplish its primary mission: enabling fast, secure, reliable
exchange of information to give U.S. forces a shared awareness of
the battle space, empowering commanders in the field to make better
decisions. And for that, you need to be able to monitor and manage
the networks to ensure that they’re performing as they should.
The case study describes how the I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF),
a Marine Air-Ground Task Force, has found the task of analyzing and
managing network performance in some tough environments far more
efficient through the use of real-time monitoring tools from Austin,
Texas-based SolarWinds.
