No longer just about the boxes and wires, businesses of all sizes depend on their networks for productivity and profitability. IT administrators at small, medium, and large enterprises as well as MSPs and SIs, are still responsible for “managing networks” for maximum return, but the definition of what comprises a network, the responsibilities of “network operations”, and even the demands of accountability are changing.
Eye of the Storm® (EYE) 2009 offers a robust, current generation network management solution for these contemporary needs. The EYE network management suite enables IT administrators to quickly and materially reduce costs, and to deliver – and prove – the service levels expected by the business. EYE gives insight, control, and predictability of the network’s performance and availability – from the core to the edge – at a price point to match any business model.
For more than a decade, Entuity has been singularly dedicated to providing innovative management solutions to fit the changing needs of the market and demands on the network. EYE 2009 continues this tradition by including the required mix of functionality necessary for exemplary network management that is efficiently enterprise scalable, easy to learn and use, quick to deploy, and with an industry leading time to value. Regardless of the desired IT initiative, EYE helps reduce operational costs while improving service – enterprise class management at an affordable price.
| Eye of the Storm 2009 is available for the Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003, Sun™ Solaris™, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, and VMWare® ESX Server platforms. |  Watch Video >> |
| In today’s economic environment with cash and credit not available, IT initiatives are being reduced to only what is necessary and adds immediate, significant, and provable business value. EYE 2009 introduces the new Green IT Perspective – a first in the network management industry. No other network management software provider offers a solution to quantify the IT infrastructure’s contribution to Green IT initiatives. Now monitoring power consumption and infrastructure utilization against definable policies, this customizable top level dashboard provides hard-dollar operational costs and potential savings putting the business value of the network front and center. | Watch Video >> |

Whether for enterprises, MSPs, or systems integrators, contemporary networks include remote locations that require monitoring and management of a range of devices. Beyond an efficient and scalable architecture to support these networks, EYE 2009 introduces a flexible workflow oriented user interface perfect for managing today’s distributed networks. Configurable by the user, the federated layout groups key management information by server, showing each individual view with hyperlinks to key information. Selecting the consolidated layout combines management information from like-named views on each server. But more than just displaying information on a web dashboard, key operational details like events are consolidated as well.

Workflow Optimized Web UI
EYE 2009 addresses the contemporary need of IT administrators to manage distributed networks from a variety of locations with popular handheld or wireless devices. EYE’s new browser-based UI not only exploits the pervasive connectivity of the Internet and availability of Web browsers, but also introduces graphically descriptive and interactive components that combine all the key functionality for effective network management – inventory, fault, and performance – into a common display. This improves management and resolution processes, eliminates reconciling bits of information from disparate tools, and makes EYE easier to learn and use.

Multi-server Web-based Search
Another feature of EYE 2009’s Web UI is the new Search functionality built into EYE’s menu bar. Accessible from any page in EYE, users can quickly execute a real-time, multi-server, web-based search for any EYE managed attribute. This new core search functionality in EYE 2009 can span single or multiple servers, and honors the EYE permission model to only expose appropriate information. EYE 2009’s new Search functionality applies a contemporary approach to rapidly find desired infrastructure details and is scalable to large networks.

Web-based Event Visibility
Another exciting and contemporary addition to EYE 2009 is the presentation and control of infrastructure events in the new web UI. EYE’s new Explorer focuses event display to only the selected item, allowing users to quickly narrow the search. Several flexible filtering techniques and graphically rich elements enable operations personnel to easily dial in to relevant events for quick resolution. As network managers are given responsibility for managing more of the infrastructure, a contemporary network management application like EYE 2009 gives them the automated tools to shoulder the burden.

Refined Control of Event Processing
EYE 2009 also introduces improvements to the handling of events. The new Event Administration page enables administrators to establish a desired age-out for any EYE event. Other enhancements include the ability to manually acknowledge events, apply (N of M) suppression, or apply system wide suppression for known outages such as when devices are brought down for maintenance. All of these improvements in EYE 2009 allow greater control in event “Noise” reduction, eliminates concern or attention on known incidents, or prevents unwarranted SLA impact.

In EYE 2009, the Report Server has been enhanced to provide greater flexibility in report organization and navigation. The Repository now includes user customizable folders to flexibly organize commonly used reports and templates.

| Enhanced functionality in EYE 2009 improves manageability of configuration & operation for customers using MPLS-enabled networks. This optional EYE module provides automatic, continual discovery of MPLS IP VPNs and captures details at three tiers: LDP, LSR, VPN. Detailed configuration, utilization, & performance data such as routing peers shown here, VRF details, and VRF routes are automatically kept up to date. Configurable operational thresholds alert to potentially detrimental changes to enable resolution before user impact. EYE 2009 helps customers using current generation MPLS-enabled networks maximize this mission critical data carrying service and make knowledgeable and informed capacity planning decisions. | Watch Video >> |

IPv6 features include the ability to add or modify IPv6 devices, automate bulk changes, distinguish IPv6 devices in EYE UI components such as Component Viewer, Connectivity Viewer, & Reports, as well as monitor and alert on IPv6 devices. This new functionality in EYE helps customers unify management of combined IPv4 & IPv6 networks, enables phased and controlled deployments of IPv6 devices, and allows flexibility in choosing new connectivity providers.
