Entuity, a provider of network management solutions, has launched its “iEye of the Storm Network Professional Edition” (EYE NPE) – a network management solution. The Entuity software delivers technology for the mid-market providing automation, accuracy and deep functionality for managing and improving the performance of dynamic networks.

 

EYE NPE improves operations by automatically surveying the network in real-time, updating maps, topology, inventory details and forensics to allow instant, accurate and real-time insight into the status of the network without manual loading of device lists, according to the company.

 

It also provides an intelligent view of object connectivity, root cause analysis and a broad range of configurable thresholds enabling users to find where problems occur and take action immediately. User configurable views are provided for representing logical collection of devices or segmentation of the network.

 

EYE NPE offers higher abstraction of the network, segmenting it as a business unit, a building, a particular floor, a department or devices assigned to certain operations personnel. It also collects and reports operational metrics matching various business processes. Reporting and distribution are automated by the provision of business-ready formats, said Entuity sources.

 

Steve Thompson, vice president of Information Services, Pacific Crest Securities - a beta tester of EYE Network Professional Edition said, “Given its broad functionality, EYE NPE is obviously a solution with an enterprise heritage, yet it is remarkably quick and intuitive to set up, the interface is very clean and fast, and the product is easy to use.”

 

Entuity’s enterprise class event engine and database supports 85,000 managed objects per server. This was used to build the EYE NPE so it can support up to 7,500 managed objects on a single server and also provide optimized management tools.

 

The easy-to-deploy network management solution runs on Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows Server operating systems, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and VMware ESX Server, said Entuity.

Michael Jannery, President and CEO, Entuity said, “We understand that in this economy, nearly all IT professionals are under pressure to cut costs – especially those within SMEs or single departments of larger enterprises. But, in an effort to ensure that every dollar counts, network administrators should ask themselves: am I giving up more than I need to stay within budget?”

 

 “Anyone charged with keeping a network up and running needs to know what devices they have, how they’re connected, how they’re performing, and where problems are occurring. If you don’t have real-time insight into every single one of these things, your network management budget could be better spent.”
