THWACK Monthly Mission - July 2016

You gotta fight. For your bandwidth. To keep your network flooowing!

Don’t let the man[ager] of marketing bring your network speed down by streaming videos all day. Don’t tolerate config changes giving you the blues. Bring the hammer down on applications that hog all the bandwidth!

You’ve got the greatest band[width] crew around to back you up: Network Performance Monitor, Network Configuration Manager, and NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. You’ve got NetPath to open the show and warm up the crowd. And when you come together center stage on the Orion platform, your performance is at a level of awesome that can only be described as face-melting!

While your work may not get you a standing ovation or crowds of screaming groupies, we think you deserve a spot in Noc and Roll Hall Of Fame for all you do to win the Battle of the Bandwidth on a daily basis.
