Network Monitoring

"Just knowing there is a problem at a remote location doesn't solve anything."

Finding and fixing IT problems at remote sites remains a time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive process. Existing management tools are good at monitoring devices and identifying problems, but lack the intelligence and local control to actively fix problems when they occur, forcing IT staff to go on-site to perform routine administration and recovery tasks.

According to Nemertes Research, IT staff at large enterprises spend between 30 and 50 percent of their time troubleshooting and fixing problems at remote locations.

The Uplogix Solution

Uplogix Envoy

Uplogix lowers the cost and complexity of remote management by diagnosing and automatically fixing common problems throughout your infrastructure. In fact, Uplogix Envoy can address and resolve 95% of the issues that commonly impact distributed networks such as configuration errors, nonresponsive devices and telecom hardware failures.

Using device manufacturers’ best practices, Envoy has hundreds of built-in management procedures that enable the appliances to take action when certain conditions occur. 

Key Automated Problem Resolution Capabilities

Uplogix significantly reduces IT support costs and downtime by diagnosing and resolving problems at remote locations including:

  • Proactive resolution of remote problems - Envoy provides numerous recovery procedures that allow you to automatically address common faults without human intervention such as automatically rebooting a hung, or wedged, device to multiple types of configuration recovery. Envoy also provides a robust framework for end-users to define new recovery procedures or customize and extend prepackaged ones.
  • Recovery from failed configuration changes via the powerful SurgicalRollback™ feature. This added "safety net" enables IT staff to make real-time to changes to network elements without the risk of failed configurations impacting operational performance.
  • Rebooting hung equipment – Envoy’s automated diagnosis framework can automatically detect a hung, or wedged, device and instantly cycle power to the unit. Envoy can often detect and resolve this common problem before traditional management tools even know it exists
  • WAN connection troubleshooting - Envoy can automatically detect common WAN problems, including outages or flapping circuits, and provide an instant diagnosis with the supporting trending or configuration data to speed recovery, document outages, or facilitate carrier resolution

"Uplogix bridges the gap between the software intelligence found in the general network management solutions available from an HP or IBM Tivoli, with the hardware found in a typical console or terminal server."
