Network Monitoring

"We need to know there is a problem before we can start fixing it."

Being able to effectively monitor your entire distributed infrastructure is critical to ensuring its health and performance, and is what all network management systems are designed to do.

However, not all are equally adept. SNMP-based tools are limited by how much data they can collect and how often it can be collected in order to minimize the performance impact of these queries on the overall network. Since these tools are network-dependent, they fail to capture diagnostic data during network outages or disruptions, literally leaving IT staff “in the dark” and unable to determine the root cause of a problem, or how to fix it.

The Uplogix Solution

Uplogix Envoy

Uplogix Envoy, can gather much more granular diagnostic data more frequently than SNMP-based systems without affecting the performance of the devices or the network.

Envoy appliances leverage serial connections to managed devices to collect data, either in-band or out-of-band, on hundreds of network performance variables every 5 to 30 seconds. Analyzing this data, Envoy can then either automatically resolve the incident based on pre-approved guidelines, or communicate the problem and recommended recovery steps back to centralized IT staff for resolution.

Key Local In-depth Monitoring Capabilities

Uplogix provides robust and persistent network and system monitoring to enable:

  • Faster problem identification and resolution by gathering data on hundreds of diagnostic variables every few seconds without impacting network performance
  • Constant and complete visibility into the overall health of the distributed infrastructure. Envoy doesn’t rely on the network to monitor and manage the network, and can keep collecting, analyzing, and locally storing diagnostic data even during network outages. The Uplogix EMS provides administrators with an enterprise-wide view of the performance of all managed devices
  • Improved service levels of critical IT services and applications. Uplogix Management Modules can monitor, measure and manage key systems and applications from an end-user’s perspective—improving service levels by pinpointing the root cause of a service-related issue and automatically correcting it
  • Enhanced network and systems management by seamlessly integrating with existing management systems. Alarms and events can be sent to other management systems as if they came from the managed device itself causing minimal disruption to the existing infrastructure.
