Network Operations staffs are often likened to disaster response teams, waiting with baited breath for the “fire drill of the day”. These fire drills can take hours to correct, particularly when staff members are forced to physically make and break connections to SPAN or TAP ports to switch between monitoring and diagnostic tools. To make matters worse, as soon as one fire is put out, it seems another rises immediately.
Solution: Anue Net Tool Optimizer
The Anue 5200 Series Net Tool Optimizer™ enables Network Operations Teams to leave all tools attached to the network at all times, even during troubleshooting. The product offers an intuitive Graphical User Interface that manages all network and tool connections via a simple drag and drop approach. With this solution, you no longer need to go to the data center to physically make and break connections.
When a problem does arise, simply fire up the GUI, point the right diagnostic tools to the SPANs or TAPs where the problem resides, set up the appropriate filters, and begin your analysis. This takes a matter of minutes, not hours. The system also allows for configurations to be stored, so when diagnosis is complete, you can return to the prior configuration very simply and rapidly.
