NetQoS is the fastest growing network performance management products and services provider. When NetQoS was founded in 1999, traffic over the WAN was increasing in volume and complexity, leading to growing application performance issues. However, most approaches to network management still focused on device availability, not performance. The few tools available to track performance were difficult to deploy and maintain and did not produce the detailed results necessary for large organizations to troubleshoot application performance issues efficiently, plan for change, or manage service levels.
Pragmatic Solutions Developed in the Real World Not a Lab
Joel Trammell and Dr. Cathy Fulton recognized the need to focus on application performance and co-founded NetQoS to provide better ways of monitoring and improving the delivery of applications over the WAN. As a research scientist and consultant for one of the world’s largest oilfield services companies, Dr. Fulton had begun developing innovative network performance management products. These products differed from other technologies because they scaled to the largest networks and passively cultivated network data faster, easier and less expensively than methods that used agents or probes. Because NetQoS products were developed in a real-world global customer environment – not in a lab –these products can handle the volume of information generated by the world’s biggest networks and report the data in easy-to-analyze ways.
The Performance-First Imperative
Data center consolidation, increasing numbers of remote users, the rise of voice and video traffic, and multi-tiered applications have led to increasing volume and complexity of WAN traffic. At the same time, device availability has stabilized, with hardware or software infrastructure failures occurring only about 0.1 percent of the time. Organizations that continue to manage the infrastructure completely around devices risk falling behind technologically and economically.
Enabling the Global 2000 to Manage the Network for Application Performance
NetQoS has enabled hundreds of the world’s largest organizations to take a “performance-first” approach to network management—the new vanguard in ensuring optimal application delivery across the WAN. By focusing on the performance of key applications running over the network and identifying where there is opportunity for improvement, IT organizations can make more informed infrastructure investments and resolve problems that impact the business. Today, NetQoS is the only vendor that can provide global visibility for the world’s largest enterprises into all three key metrics necessary to take a performance first management approach. Learn more about these metrics and the NetQoS Performance Center management portal that enables IT organizations to :
- Deliver consistent application performance
- Mitigate the risks from planned changes and unexpected events
- Make more informed infrastructure investments
- Work collaboratively and more effectively
- Solve problems faster to reduce MTTR
Organizations wishing to be more proactive in managing networked application services have discovered the value in this approach and as a result, NetQoS is the fastest growing network performance management company.*

What Sets NetQoS Apart?
Complete network infrastructure performance reporting - NetQoS offers the only product suite that provides global visibility into all three key metrics necessary to quantify network infrastructure performance: end-to-end response time, traffic flows and device performance.
Scalability – NetQoS products are designed to support the demands of the most complex global networks, and are proven in the production networks of Global 2000 companies.
Comprehensive management information – NetQoS products collect and store extremely large volumes of data without impacting product or network performance. This real-time and historical data makes it much easier to isolate and solve application problems, and identify important trends.
Passive monitoring – NetQoS products do not use client or server agents. Instead, NetQoS products leverage the existing router and switch infrastructure to provide detailed end-to-end performance, traffic analysis, and device performance data.
Immediate value – Installation takes less than a day, and the products provide actionable data within a few hours of installation. Ongoing maintenance is negligible.
Sophisticated analytics – The ability to immediately detect abnormal behavior and isolate the source of a performance problem to the network, server, or application is a key product differentiator for NetQoS.
Rapid payback – From downsizing underutilized links to preventing unnecessary investments in additional bandwidth, NetQoS products typically pay for themselves in a few months. NetQoS customers are able to make more informed decisions about infrastructure provisioning, network optimization, and resource allocation, and can avoid sustained service outages that impact business results.
Excellent customer service – NetQoS customer satisfaction ratings for products and support are among the highest in the industry. NetQoS customer advocates ensure you are getting the most value from your NetQoS investment.
