Entuity Introduces Eye of the Storm (EYE) 2009

MARLBOROUGH, MA and LONDON, UK – November 18, 2008 -- Entuity® today announces the newest release of its award-winning Eye of the Storm® (EYE) network management suite, EYE 2009. This latest version delivers a robust, current generation network management solution for contemporary needs by giving IT administrators and staff what they need to achieve their most pressing initiatives: business-oriented data, streamed in a Web-based interface using robust graphics and interactive visuals to make it immediately actionable so problems on the network are solved before they affect the business.

EYE 2009 includes new modules and core product enhancements that allow business end-users to realize peak efficiency from IT services while maximizing return from existing infrastructures. These additions enable modern IT administrators to stream network intelligence in real-time through browsers and proactively avoid network support issues that often go unnoticed with oversimplified management tools or complex framework solutions.

EYE 2009 Product Features:

Workflow-Driven Multi-server Operation – Toggle between unique federated or consolidated schemes that streamline management of even the most dynamic and complex distributed networks. Provides an efficient, configurable, Web-based route to action and quick validation that is scalable for larger networks.
Reporting & Live Data Feeds – From organizational and navigational improvements in out-of-the-box reports to new time-series stream APIs, no other network management solution captures a greater depth of information about the network infrastructure AND opens the data for accessibility by users and partners.
IPv6 Compatibility – Allows for unified management of IPv4 and IPv6 infrastructures, phased deployments, and flexibility in selecting connectivity providers.
MPLS Module – Detailed configuration, utilization, & performance data at the LDP, LSR, and VPN tiers are automatically kept up to date to improve manageability of MPLS-enabled networks. Configurable operational thresholds alert to potentially detrimental changes promoting resolution before user impact.
Optimized Poller – Gives users more control to add device support, providing finer granularity and efficiency with multi-threaded architecture while improving the capacity planning process.
Customizable Event Control & Viewing – Greater control of “event noise” and refined event handling focuses attention for rapid resolution across network servers, views, devices, and ports.
Green IT Perspective – Introduces a revolutionary solution to quantify operational costs and savings opportunities for network devices, servers, and workstations in any green business initiative. A customizable dashboard and integration point for policies, reports, reference materials, real-time statistics, communities, wikis, and other materials keeps employees knowledgeable and green initiatives on track.
