Multi-Threaded Packet Stuffing

Network management tools gather information by interrogating the Management Information Base (MIB) of each device (or deploying agents -- an expensive, high-overhead approach).

But the polling engines of most management tools are extremely inefficient because they only ask a single query for every packet they send out over the network. The more they want to know, the more traffic they generate and the more overhead they put on the network (so they tend to ask fewer queries).

A better way
Entuity's Device Polling Engine uses a technology called Multi-Threaded Packet Stuffing to dramatically increase the efficiency of data gathering. With Multi-Threaded Packet Stuffing, a single request can get 25 pieces of information - all in one packet. Here's why that's a very good thing:

Richer queries mean better information - Entuity solutions don't only determine the state of every device, they break the device down into its individual physical and logical components, then interrogates each one individually. That's what delivers Heightened Awareness.

Lower overhead means less drag - The idea is to keep your network and infrastructure running at peak performance, not slowing it down with a constant river of queries.

Better efficiency means better scalability - Entuity solutions scale up as fast and as far as you like without slowing down the network.
