Network Enablers - Net Perspective

Net Perspective enables small to medium-sized enterprises to monitor the performance of their network infrastructure anytime, anywhere from a standard web browser. Net Perspective reduces network management costs and improves operational effectiveness by minimising outages and downtime. It provides IT managers with the comprehensive network performance and fault information needed to support the mission-critical services and applications relied upon by your business.

Net Perspective provides end-to-end visibility across your entire network infrastructure allowing you to monitor and manage routers, switches, servers and firewalls using SNMP. It provides device management capabilities that enable detailed performance monitoring, alarm management, service level validation, remote troubleshooting and performance reporting. These powerful capabilities allow network administrators to proactively manage network resources, quickly pinpoint and solve problems, anticipate demand, analyse Internet usage and monitor utilisation trends.

"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it."

Improves Quality of Service (QoS). Net Perspective enables you to increase service levels and the availability of mission-critical IP-based services and applications. Net Perspective validates SLAs by monitoring threshold levels, shows where service objectives have been met, and provides event correlation to identify substandard performance.

Faster Proactive Troubleshooting. Net Perspective sends proactive alerts notifying appropriate personnel of impending trouble according to problem severity. This helps staff quickly pinpoint and resolve faults behind the scenes before problems turn into customer affecting meltdowns.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Net Perspective reduces support and infrastructure costs to maximise ROI and profitability. Network Enablers provides all the customisation, training, ongoing maintenance and administration needed, avoiding the costly hardware, software and integration work required to build similar systems in-house.

Improves Visibility of Network Assets. Net Perspective provides visibility of essential performance and fault information across multiple environments (IP, FR, ATM, DSL, leased line). This enables you to track, manage and maximise network asset utilisation, improve productivity, and make informed IT management decisions.

Net Perspective bridges the gap in IT operations by giving you:

	Total end-to-end network visibility
	Network performance and fault information from a standard web-browser
	Traffic monitoring of key performance indicators on all network devices
	Reports of key statistics for forecasting and capacity planning
	Trends of utilisation, throughput, health and response times
	Knowledge of impending problems before users are affected
	Faster troubleshooting and fault solving to reduce downtime

Net Perspective is a cost-effective subscription-based service that collects, processes and tracks information about your network. It operates on a centralised server that is either hosted on your site or tele-housed in a remote data centre. It uses the popular SNMP protocol to poll and query devices over an IP network. Network administrators access the service using a standard web browser.

Net Perspective is a low entry cost solution because you do not need to purchase expensive servers or protocol analysers, implement software upgrades, or perform complex system integration and configuration tasks. Network Enablers will work with you to customise and integrate Net Perspective into your LAN/WAN environment, and provide ongoing administrative and support of your Net Perspective system. All you need is a standard web browser and you're up and running.
