“Virtualization, WLAN, VoIP, mobile devices, and “everything gets an IP address” from UPCs to motion detectors are all driving an increase in the amount of IP traffic that needs to be enabled and supported. Such hyper-growth in connectedness is making the network, and hence the role and importance of assuring the network is healthy and working, increasingly critical.”
