Innovative Network Management Solution Focuses On Network Services Delivery Metrics

Submitted by: MyPressportal Team
Ruby Close, Fourways, SA – January 19, 2010 -- NetSpeed Technologies, the premier IT Solution provider for South Africa, today announced the availability of EYE 2010 network management software from Entuity.
EYE 2010 is specifically designed for businesses to optimise their IT infrastructure and provide maximum network performance to their users. IT administrators can finally answer the question of whether their network infrastructure is supporting strategic IT services delivery, and provides advanced analytics as proof. It concentrates on Network Services Delivery management reflecting how a company uses its network and displays pertinent details of services, applications, servers, and infrastructure availability across the environment in an easy to understand dashboard format.

All companies today rely on a broad range of applications, IP services, network devices, servers, and client devices to remain competitive, EYE 2010 introduces a second new Services Model functionality enabling IT administrators to monitor and manage how the network infrastructure is serving business needs rather than reporting on the status of individual components. This new Services Delivery Perspective™ provides an innovative, top-level synopsis and status of a company’s strategic technology services also in an easy-to-use dashboard format.

Additionally, EYE 2010 now protects mission-critical business service delivery 24/7 and satisfies even the largest of enterprises with a new High Availability Compatibility Module. Two new High Availability solutions are available to meet a variety of needs and budgets---a custom agent for Veritas™ Cluster Server (VCS) from Symantec and EYE 2010 has also been validated against NeverFail® from NeverFail Group, requiring no additional adapter. These High Availability capabilities provide networks with a trusted back-up system to ensure 24/7 up time of critical applications.

IT administrators can now quickly synthesize a broad range of network operational and performance data into actionable and graphically descriptive reports. Nearly 20 new reports have been added to the EYE 2010 out-of-the-box report bundle, for more than 100 in total, giving users one-click documentation. Reports can be automated to run at scheduled intervals and be automatically delivered in a range of formats necessary for business correspondence processes.

All these new enhancements allow businesses to better manage their unique network environments in a constructive way that validates how the network is supporting their organization’s strategies to remain competitive in a technology-based, global economy.
