Improve the availability and reliability of the IT infrastructure:

• Unplanned system downtime is reduced through the prediction of failure
• Mean repair times are reduced with automatic alerting of key personnel without the requirement for staff to travel to remote sites
• Knowledge can be embedded into the solution, so that dependency on specific individuals is eliminated
• Access to each network device from multiple systems in multiple locations allows problem sharing, and faster resolution
• Integrates with leading ‘in-band’ management systems to provide a complete IT infrastructure management solution
  

Reduce the total cost of network ownership:

• Monitor a variety of devices and reduce support costs, with no requirement for on-site personnel at remote locations.
• Reduced space and power requirement in data centres, with no consoles and no on-site access needed for console management

Improve the security of IT Infrastructure and ensure compliance with regulatory legislation, e.g. Sarbanes Oxley:

• Secure access is provided with user name and password authorisation granted to specific devices.
• Provides visibility of device activity with a log of events which can be viewed in real-time
• Unintelligible coded log text is converted into meaningful language so that appropriate action can be taken immediately
• A fully time-stamped audit trail of logged events can be saved or exported to other systems for reporting and further analysis.
• With no requirement for physical access to remote devices for monitoring and management, the security of data centres is enhanced
