The Financial Sector and Eye of the Storm
In the financial sector confidence in application availability and service delivery is paramount, the equation is simple, degradation\loss of IT infrastructure equals lost earnings. With mergers and acquisitions, consolidations, demand for new services, rising expectations and restricted budgets then delivery is the challenge.
Eye of the Storm delivers the information on your infrastructure that allows you to have confidence in your service delivery. Eye of the Storm:
- has end-to-end visibilty of the infastructure; of your applications, application servers and devices,
- detects where the root cause of a problem is,
- identifies where service degradation is occuring before it impacts the user,
- identifies utilization trends,
- reports what it finds at the different levels of detail required to manage the infrastructure.
Eye of the Storm is already used by leading financial sector companies, including Merrill Lynch, Nomura, Halifax. For a demonstration of Eye of the Storm contact Entuity.

Managed Service Providers and Eye of the Storm
Managed services are an increasingly attractive means for enterprises to obtain cost-effective solutions to complex IT issues. To bring on these new enterprise customers, managed service providers are challenged to deliver more value than traditional internal IT organizations, in an operationally efficient manner to ensure profitability, while simultaneously finding and offering new services to offer existing clients. Service providers are equally challenged to get beyond the perceived entree of remote monitoring and traditional break/fix and block service engagements to the high-value services delivering productivity and business value.
Regardless of the end-customer business initiative, EYE delivers unprecedented visibility to maximize network efficiency and performance, and minimize operational expenses of the infrastructure foundational to their very success – the network. EYE equips service providers with the insight they need to make strategic recommendations on IT solutions that positively impact the customer’s business, validate those solutions prior to deployment, set appropriate customer expectations, and report that agreed service levels have been delivered.
Entuity’s Eye of the Storm is already helping leading MSPs including IBM Global Services, Perot Systems, and Switch & Data reliably deliver high value services and business value to their end-customers. For a demonstration of Eye of the Storm contact Entuity.
