Fidelia NetVigil Is First to Provide Real-time Performance Management and
Monitoring at a Price Midsize Companies Can Afford
New Product Offers IT Managers End-to-End Visibility of Business
Transactions; Runs on Linux and Solaris Platforms
Denver, CO, June 17, 2002 - Fidelia Inc. today introduced NetVigil, the
first product engineered from the ground up to provide IT managers with a
consolidated view of both sophisticated fault monitoring and real-time
performance management. Now, with NetVigil, managing the IT infrastructure
of an enterprise can be done with a single, easy-to-use tool.
Designed to meet the price point requirements of midsize companies,
NetVigil features a scalable, distributed architecture and an open API
making it an excellent candidate for larger enterprises also. Through its
ability to dynamically correlate networks, servers, and applications
enterprise-wide, NetVigil enables the end-to-end tracking and proactive
management of multiple-step, Web-based business transactions. Its
multi-level administration model gives companies the power to delegate
monitoring privileges and responsibilities to different groups,
departments, or individuals, as needed. These federated views offer
business unit and service managers a powerful tool for instantly tracking
any interruptions to their business operations, even if discrete parts of
the system are managed by other groups. Available for Sun Solaris OS,
NetVigil is the first enterprise-level monitoring and performance
management tool that also runs on the Linux operating system.
Ideal for businesses dependent on 24/7 transaction reliability and spanning
multiple domains, departments, or geographic locations, NetVigil offers
scalability capabilities that many high-priced products do not. Its
distributed architecture, which features fully decentralized data
collection, report processing, and archiving, bypasses the storage and
traffic overhead problems inherent in products that employ a single,
central database for all monitoring and archiving functions.
Additionally, NetVigils open application programming interface (API)
allows for instant configurability and integration with a broad variety of
products customers already have in place including: operation system and
support (OSS) tools, customer relationship management (CRM) applications,
probes, custom monitors, and network management systems (NMS) such as HP
OpenView.
Fidelia NetVigil analyzes a full set of metrics from both SNMP and non-SNMP
devices, offering real-time performance reports on network bandwidth,
routing, server performance, and applications like BEA WebLogic and Oracle.
The products full range of trend reports are valuable tools for the
capacity planning of critical resources.
NetVigil is already helping organizations proactively manage their IT
operations. One prominent customer, Yale University, is using NetVigil to
correlate network devices, servers, and application performance across
multiple campuses and departments, replacing a number of discrete,
non-integrated tools.
Its very common today to find organizations using multiple products to
meet their monitoring and performance management requirements. These
isolated, disparate tools dont allow data to be integrated and,
consequently, it takes forever for IT managers to correlate service
loss or performance with the underlying infrastructure. NetVigil was
designed to proactively measure the performance of enterprise services and
provide instant drill down into the cause of the service loss or
degradation all in real-time. By tying all the raw operational data into
meaningful performance information, NetVigil allows companies to easily
align IT information with their business operations and goals, said Vikas
Aggarwal, Fidelias president and chief technology officer.
NetVigils multi-tier architecture is comprised of:
· The Business Visibility Engine (BVE), a Web-based reporting and
graphing engine, that consolidates the views of system and application
performance, presenting both real-time status and historical/trend reports.
· Data Gathering Elements (DGEs) which collect, analyze, and store
performance data locally from networks, servers, and applications. The
DGEs can be distributed throughout the organization, as needed, enhancing
scalability and preventing traffic bottlenecks.
· An intelligent configuration database which keeps track of users,
permissions, devices, connections, and the correlation between services and
underlying infrastructure tests. It is the configuration engine that
provides secure, federated views for users and IS managers.
Pricing starts at $10,000 for small networks, including a full featured
version of NetVigil with all the performance management, historical
reports, and monitoring capabilities. Pricing for an enterprise version,
which scales to support tens of thousands of devices, starts at $30,000.
NetVigil is currently available on Solaris and Linux platforms.
