MARLBOROUGH, MA and LONDON--(Marketwire - July 28, 2010) -
News Facts
- Entuity® today announced a revolution in the network management industry by bundling tightly integrated flow analysis into the newest release of its award-winning solution, Eye of the Storm® (EYE) Enterprise 2010 SP2. Operations personnel can quickly pinpoint both where the network is overloaded and what's causing it to optimize network business value and enterprise application productivity.
- This latest version integrates all the requisite, contemporary network management functionality -- from auto-discovery and inventory, to fault and event, to elemental and flow-based performance -- that reduces the expense of managing distributed infrastructures for business benefit. This new capability is available to EYE customers at no additional charge in the latest product service pack.
- EYE Integrated Flow Analyzer (IFA) technology is a short time span diagnostic and troubleshooting functionality integrated into the base EYE management product providing the ability to characterize and understand IP traffic presenting flow-based performance data alongside EYE's traditional elemental performance metrics. EYE's IFA technology runs on existing EYE servers, dramatically reducing typical system footprint and eliminating the biggest drain on system resources associated with traditional NetFlow solutions. IFA can also be deployed as distributed flow connectors for increased scalability and performance.
- Also included in EYE Enterprise 2010 SP2 is the new Branch Office Perspective in EYE's unique InSight Center™ -- a business-centric dashboard designed to automate, simplify, and reduce the operational costs for companies having distributed network locations or branch offices. Highly interactive with actionable graphics and a variety of drill-down reports, the Branch Office Perspective helps IT managers quickly assess and improve branch office connectivity to help avoid lapses or reductions in branch office productivity due to a lack of network capacity.
- EYE Enterprise 2010 SP2 further automates and simplifies multi-server administration to reduce operational expense by adding the capability for complete EYE account management through a web browser. EYE administrators can control all aspects of EYE access including options to modify user passwords, tool permission for groups, user/group permissions, and account/password expiry management through a web UI.
- A host of improvements in EYE Enterprise 2010 SP2 including configurable data retention periods, additional threshold-based events in the custom poller, new interactive charts in the TopN dashboard, and extensions to server uptime monitoring and reporting are in direct response to the contemporary needs of customers keeping Entuity the leader in next-generation, value-focused network management.
- EYE Enterprise 2010 SP2 will be available July 30th, and runs on Microsoft® Windows Server® operating systems, Sun™ Solaris™, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, and VMWare® ESX Server.

"Maintaining our network's performance is strategic to Vattefall's day-to-day operations as it enables access to the critical business systems the company uses in providing effective energy solutions and world-class service to our customers. The new Integrated Flow Analyzer now included in EYE offers us greater flexibility in ensuring optimal network performance than stand-alone solutions where only a few individuals have access to the application. Since a larger group of engineers can now access application flow data through a simple web browser and it is presented in context with EYE's traditional elemental operational and performance data, it's easier and more effective for everyone to use."
- Quote, attributed to Julian Renecke, director, NetSpeed Technologies an Entuity Reseller
"The Integrated Flow Analyzer built into EYE helps network managers answer the #1 question about congested circuits in their networks: 'What's hogging the bandwidth?' Our enterprise customers will automatically see the business benefit that is derived by using this new Flow Analyzer because managing their bandwidth is one of their utmost priorities. This new, affordable Flow Analyzer bundled in Eye of the Storm will provide NetSpeed's customers with a critical technological advantage -- equipping them to proactively maximize their bandwidth for reliable service delivery performance."
- Quote, attributed to Bojan Simic, Principal Analyst, TRAC Research
"One key trend that we have found at TRAC Research while interviewing IT managers recently is that end-users are starting to differentiate network monitoring solutions based not on the amount of data they can collect, but on how actionable this information is. Organizations are looking to go from the identification of a problem to its resolution in a few clicks, and the quality of dashboards that they are using is growing in importance. By integrating NetFlow data alongside traditional network performance and operational metrics in the latest version of EYE, Entuity's solution is not only moving in the right direction, but is also addressing one of the key IT initiatives for end-users, application performance. "
- Quote, attributed to Michael Jannery, president and CEO, Entuity
On NetFlow: "While NetFlow technology has held a lot of promise in the industry, its deployment has been hampered by the requirement for massive storage, dedicated analytics processing, and -- frankly -- price, in order to realize any value. We believe we have achieved an attractive solution: using NetFlow to answer the most frequently asked application performance questions, but without the high overhead of a heavy NetFlow solution. Add to this its integration with elemental network data; we believe our customers will be very satisfied."
- Quote, attributed to Michael Jannery, president and CEO, Entuity On the Branch Office Perspective: "To meet the contemporary needs of our customers and the market, we continue to drive our network management solutions in the direction of providing and highlighting tangible business value, rather than simply reporting reams of 'bottom-up' technical metrics. The Branch Office Perspective is the next business service initiative identified by our larger customers as a top value add, allowing them to assess the quality of the service the branches are receiving: whether across campus or across the pond."
