Complete the Puzzle —Network Monitoring and Management with EntuityJohn Diamond

Principal Solutions Architect, Entuity

Tuesday, Oct.14


Agenda

1. Why network monitoring should be integrated

2. Integrated Entuity/BMC environment

3. Entuity/BMC product integrations

4. Entuity at a glance


Network Monitoring should be integrated


A complete IT management approach

The network underpins all IT services

Properly performing network infrastructure devices are critical to good service delivery

Proactive avoidance of performance degradation

Virtualized systems - traditional dividing lines between server/network are blurred

Enabling IT to rise above traditional silos of responsibility

Rapid problem resolution


Independent systems / network monitoring – The downside

Duplication of effort

Lack of coordination

Slow problem

resolution

Excessive event and

ticket volumes

No central visibility

Inefficient workflow


Multi-product network management approach

Complexity

•Multiple different server and database requirements

Difficulty maintaining integrations across multiple products over time

Delays adoption of new versions with new features

Inconsistent user interfaces

Expense


Together, Entuity and TrueSight Operations Management

Eliminate costly duplication of effort in

managing separate data silos, “all-hands-on-deck” war room scenarios and

finger pointing.

Enable faster MTTR and a longer MTBF through

proactive problem resolution and deep

network visibility.

Increase automation, allowing IT organizations to focus on projects that

are important for the business.

Mobile access via a tablet“Tablets are finding increasing favor as a mobile working endpoint for IT pros of all stripes, including network engineers and operators. Most management tools support these platforms by simply making existing GUIs compatible/viewable. But to do it right requires significant redesign, taking advantage of tablet navigation techniques such as swipe and pinch, and optimizing tasks and views that require mobility support. Entuity has taken this approach and the result is, quite arguably, the first true tablet UI for an enterprise-class network management solution.”
