Kratos Releases Latest Versions of NeuralStar and dopplerVUE Network Management Solutions

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - October 28, 2010) -  Kratos Networks announced a new release for each of its flagship network management products including NeuralStar® version 9.7, for enterprise-class management, and dopplerVUE® version 2.2 for business-class networks. The releases deliver enhanced enterprise cybersecurity and real-time change management capabilities.

NeuralStar 9.7 has enhanced its industry leading cybersecurity support features to facilitate network management across geographically, distributed sites. The new release of NeuralStar includes a secure communications tunnel to enhance connectivity, increase security and decrease costs by providing network managers at different locations with a secure method to pass encrypted traffic over the Internet. The additional layer of security increases situational awareness and speeds up the ability to rapidly respond to network conditions in a secure manner without the need to change systems or use additional security tools.

dopplerVUE 2.2 now features change management capabilities to help network managers troubleshoot and resolve availability and performance issues more effectively. dopplerVUE continuously monitors device configurations and issues real-time alerts when configuration changes occur. With one click users can compare start-up and running configuration files. If remediation is necessary, changes can be made within dopplerVUE, reducing troubleshooting effort and improving availability.

"Cybersecurity and situational awareness concerns are arising more and more among both our government and commercial enterprise customers," said Mike Smith, General Manager of Kratos Networks. "Enterprise IT managers will find that NeuralStar's secure communications tunnel will provide enhanced confidence to meet the rising threats inherent in managing distributed networks. Similarly, all network managers are finding that rogue and inadvertent configuration changes are a constant challenge that they can now resolve in real-time with both dopplerVUE and NeuralStar."

The new releases build upon the existing functionality in the Kratos Networks product family. dopplerVUE is a core management solution that helps network professionals better pinpoint, troubleshoot and pre-empt network problem areas in service delivery, bandwidth management and network uptime. NeuralStar delivers enterprise-class capabilities including NOC level visibility, management of multiple and geographically distributed networks and automatic failover and redundancy for continuous operations.
