InfoVista to Present Free, Live Webinar on Backbone Capacity Planning, December 5 at 2 p.m. ET
In conjunction with the COMPTEL Webinar Program, InfoVista will present a free, live webinar entitled "Bringing Science to the Art of Backbone Capacity Planning - A Flow and Analytics Based Approach" on Wednesday, December 5 at 2 p.m. ET.

New services, plans and devices are being launched daily, and subscribers are taking full advantage of every available byte of capacity. To accommodate this unprecedented growth, communications service providers (CSPs) are being forced to make major investments to upgrade their networks without any guarantee of a return.

During InfoVista's webinar, attendees can learn how CSP backbone capacity planners and network architects alleviate pressure on their infrastructure by leveraging a flow-based capacity planning methodology. This innovative process improves the depth and accuracy of data available and allows for informed decisions on when and how CAPEX outlays should be made. 

The webinar - which will be led by Peter Christensen, product marketing manager,  Application Performance Management at InfoVista - will focus on:
  • Why it is important to have up-to-date data to establish precise performance and capacity baselines; 
  • How flow-based intelligence can improve the backbone capacity planning process;
  • How peering and transit traffic may be impacting backbone QoS and QoE; and
  • How multi-dimensional analysis can expedite the decision-making process, while minimizing financial and legal risks.
Register now for this FREE webinar.  To participate, you must register no later than Tuesday, December 4. For more information, please e-mail education@comptel.org or call 202-296-6650.
