Broader BSM Solutions Develop with Entuity EYE 2008
-- Integration and Automation Capabilities Sited As Pivotal
Enablers --
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. & LONDON--(Business Wire)--
Entuity(TM) today announced that partners, service providers, and
enterprise customers are leveraging new integration and automation
capabilities in the Eye of the Storm(R) (EYE) software suite to
deliver broader BSM solutions both more efficiently and
cost-effectively. EYE 2008 once again has set the standard for all
commercial network management solutions by delivering functionality
that ties to complementary management solutions, broader reporting and
analysis solutions, and provides visibility to popular technologies
being increasingly used today at the network's edge.
"Virtually every company that we work with is trying to improve
the efficiency or eliminate the manual processes in their business
systems. Even companies that have implemented so called 'end-to-end'
solutions are not achieving the results they originally expected,"
said John Ryan, vice president of business development at NextLink
Technologies, a network and security solution provider headquartered
in Minneapolis, MN. "Using the new data export functionality in EYE
2008 we can easily integrate independent data sets from any of EYE's
extensive infrastructure details with the particular business
reporting, charting, or analysis applications already in use by the
customer enabling more informed and cost-effective business
decisions."
EYE 2008 features several enhancements targeted at helping
businesses to enable varying levels of mash-ups, integrations, and
automation using methodologies desired by IT professional and business
users alike including:
-- Data Export Server - EYE 2008 delivers a new level of openness
and data accessibility to accelerate and simplify business
reporting, corporate dashboards, or mash-ups, using the
display, charting, or analysis tools of choice. With their
data independent of the authoring application, users
throughout the enterprise are free to empower more informed
and expedient decisions, representing another proof point of
how Entuity is delivering on its commitment to be the most
open network management solution in the market.
-- EYE Wireless Module - Extends EYE's current strength in
management of the wired edge of corporate switched LANs to
include Aruba wireless devices. Provides a unified management
environment to improve capacity planning and troubleshooting
of mixed networks along with historical documentation to
ensure security compliance and reduce the risk.
-- EYE Power over Ethernet (PoE) Module - Updated to add support
for Microsemi PoE midspan injectors, EYE 2008 improves
capacity planning and troubleshooting of converged networks.
Integration to the device's inbuilt web-based configuration
utility further automates device management and reduces
maintenance costs.
-- EYE Firewall Module - EYE 2008 reduces the management burden
for enterprises and service providers with heterogeneous
networks from various hardware providers. Adding support for
NetContinuum firewalls, a unified management approach with
detailed inventory, operational, and event information keeps a
range of firewall at optimum performance.
EYE 2008 provides new modules and functionality that offer:
improved administration and control, streamlined IT service delivery,
and advanced integration and automation to power the business. Eye of
the Storm 2008 runs on Microsoft Windows 2003, Sun Solaris, RedHat
Linux, and VMware ESX environments.
Entuity is also actively seeking channel partners globally who are
looking to complement their current framework or elemental tools
offerings with the scalable, easy-to-deploy EYE 2008 management suite.
