Is it the Network, the Firewall or the Application?

Abstract

In today's I.T. environment, the business relies on several critical application services. More and more of these applications are distributed client-server applications that rely on an increasingly switched network with a significant number of users accessing these application services via firewalls over the Wide Area Network (WAN). These application services can be broken into packaged or custom applications. Another view of applications is whether they are infrastructure or end-user applications.
