The NMS platform
Self-learning complex systems monitoring
These days IT is more and more "a company within the company" that has to provide competitive services to back up the company business. As a result, it becomes fundamental for a company to have processes and systems that can give an accurate evaluation of the value, costs, risks and performances of the services supplied by the IT department. Against this backdrop, the increasingly evident trend is a growing attention towards IT Governance and its three guiding criteria:
This is the guiding criterion at the basis of NMS, the Verax IT Service Assurance system. Its aim is no longer to check up on and manage infrastructure alarms, but to understand the service provided, and, if necessary, provide proactive management of any slumps in performance. All this uses standard technologies (SNMP) and an event correlation engine that can support both standard and user-defined rules. As a consequence, there can be an effective reduction in alarms and the causes underlying the problems can be rooted out before they arise.
Another top feature of the NMS system is that it naturally fits in with I-Tel’s CTI systems which can deal with the various types of alarms automatically, without the need for an operator. The alarms can be reported:
