About NeuralStar Technology
NeuralStar is based on a new approach to network management called Integrated Event Resolution, a major advancement in the ability to respond to the unique challenges of converged networks and net-centered applications.
What's missing in other network management products is that, for the most part, they can only monitor homogenous network elements—such as SNMP only—and only for a single management discipline—such as either Performance or Fault or Security. Even when the technology is the same but the service is different—the IP in VoIP, for example—they are not good at distinguishing between the demands of managing voice rather than data traffic.
Beyond that is another significant weakness in traditional products. Even when a problem is detected within its limited field of vision, it has only one possible response, to send an alert of one type or another to a human operator. This limited "monitor-and-alert” model ultimately fails to meet the demands of converged and complex networks, especially those that run net-centric applications like VoIP or videoconferencing.
Unique NeuralStar technology features include:
- Monitors all types of network events that may have implications for Availability, Performance, Security or Service, including QoS and SLA Policy Violations displayed in a single interface.
- Raw event data is supplemented with business context information stored in NeuralStar’s relational database. Context can include anything from business process info to service level definitions, mission guidelines, historical reporting, device customization records, inventory or circuit routing.
- Collects extended, customized and user-defined data that goes beyond the “off the shelf” metrics.
- Granular control over event definitions and filtering makes it easy to screen and threshold irrelevant events before they create unwanted alerts.
- More complete information means NeuralStar events can be resolved more quickly, easily and with more targeted effects.
- Eliminates the need for redundant tools or duplicate management infrastructures since it can serve as a single consolidated platform across all network components and management disciplines.
- Show consolidated views of multiple networks, including integrated operational views of shared network hardware, services (email and Web servers) and network-centered technologies, such as VoIP or IM.
