Simple Network View

The simplified view of the network topology helps the user see both logical and physical connections in multiple views.

• Simplified network topology view
• Multiple data views provide both logical and physical connections
• Logical view
• Table view
• At-a-Glance View
• Integrated with root cause analysis for fast problem resolution

Root Cause Analysis

Helps drive quick recovery, reducing remediation time and increasing system availability. Eliminates the need to scan log files to figure out why the network is down.

• Unique, expert system-based alogorithm
• Patented
• Table view
• Cross correlates events from all LAN, SAN, server and storage components

Indicates problem nodes for quick recovery, reducing mean time to repair fully automated analysis- no manual intervention required

Performance bottleneck analysis

User Defined Alerting

By allowing the user to define thresholds based on their specific needs, alerts can be sent before a problem actually happens, notifying the IT manager trouble.

• User definable thresholds templates based on applications or group requriements
• Two levels of threshold settings
• Automated email alerts sent for threshold violations
• Automatic generations and delivery of reports at user defined intervals
