Our Technology Foundation

Service providers and enterprises must be able to monitor the health of their networks, as well as the services and applications they deliver over those infrastructures, if they are to ensure end-user quality of experience and satisfaction. To do this, they must be able to collect performance data from a growing and complex network and applications architecture consisting of multivendor network equipment and a variety of protocols and application types.

What’s needed is a robust yet flexible IT performance management framework that can scale to support the largest, most complex IT infrastructures, and chart, analyze and report on these dynamic environments, as well as application traffic, in real time.

InfoVista’s VistaFoundation® provides a proven platform for unified network and service performance management for InfoVista’s VistaInsight® solutions. The platform provides the ability to:

• Collect network, service and application performance data from virtually any resource in large, complex network and IT infrastructures
• Instantly discover new or reconfigured IT resources when changes are made to network and application server environments
• Associate services to the underlying resources that support them, thereby helping to more readily identify bottlenecks and other causes of service disruption
• Present actionable information on service performance within a dynamic portal environment
• Support critical network performance management capabilities, such as network troubleshooting, capacity monitoring, service level monitoring and customer reporting
• Comprehensively interface with IP or Carrier Ethernet VPN, broadband and mobile data and WAN optimization service environments

It also interoperates with 5View™ Service Data Manager, the InfoVista application performance management platform, to provide a unified perspective on NetFlow monitoring and IT, mobile and voice application performance monitoring and response time management.
