NetQoS Addresses WAN Application Delivery Challenges in Podcast SeriesNetwork engineers faced with the challenges of application performance across the wide area network (WAN) gained a new resource with the NetQoS Performance Edge Podcast Series debut. The first installment features an interview with industry analyst Dr. Jim Metzler about the network engineer’s evolving role in optimizing application performance.
During the podcast, Dr. Metzler, president of Ashton, Metzler & Associates, will discuss the state of the industry in managing the delivery of application services over enterprise networks and the basis of his forthcoming multi-client study on “Defining the Application Delivery Value Chain.” According to Dr. Metzler, while a defined process exists for application development, many IT organizations have less well-defined responsibilities for application delivery and ownership of application performance. As application delivery over the WAN becomes more complex, the responsibility for application performance is increasingly falling to network engineers, who should take the lead on it.
