TOP WAN UTILIZATION

WAN circuits are expensive and their real usage is opaque. Congestion is diagnosed after users complain, and capacity decisions are made without knowing who or what fills the links.

Business Question

"We pay seven figures a year for WAN capacity — can anyone show me, right now, what's actually on those links?"

What SPoG Does

  • Shows real-time WAN bandwidth consumption per link, with top consumers and congestion points identified.
  • Flags capacity risks before they become user-facing slowdowns.
  • Grounds upgrade and downgrade decisions in observed utilization, cutting spend on dark capacity.
