Case Study: Stokes Technologies achieves improved network performance and reduced link costs with Sinefa

Identifying enterprise network traffic problems and solving them in minutes!

Stokes Technologies, an Australian publicly listed provider of advanced audio visual and lighting technologies, was suffering slow network performance and high data costs despite two bandwidth upgrades and extensive ISP troubleshooting. Facing a dispute with their ISP, Stokes Technologies installed Sinefa (using Sinefa Live) to get a clear, real‑time view of their traffic and quickly identify the root cause.

Sinefa revealed within minutes that BitTorrent traffic was consuming the link while the overall link was otherwise under‑utilised, so Stokes applied traffic shaping to prioritise business applications and control BitTorrent. Using Sinefa, they avoided further unnecessary upgrades, resolved the ISP dispute, reduced link size and costs, eliminated ongoing troubleshooting time, and improved network performance and staff productivity.
