G+ provides clients real-time visibility into Layers 1-7, enabling rapid and efficient monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting down to the network, server and application levels. The offering provides proactive event monitoring and threshold action, SLA definition and management, network performance planning and reporting and application-defined performance planning.
