NetworkIT delivers a powerful centralized management solution for distributed networks that are delivering today�s eBusiness solutions. Through policy-based management, NetworkIT aligns service levels with business objectives to provide ongoing availability, optimal performance, and management of networks in a business context.

eBusiness Is The Network
With the increasing trend for eBusiness, the networks play more of a vital role in today�s business arena. The transformation of business to the electronic and digital age has brought performance and user experience to the forefront. Network management can make the difference between an eBusiness initiative being a success or failure. Effective network management requires a solution that treats your network as an integral part of your business.

Network Management In A Distributed Environment
If yours is like most businesses, heterogeneous networks are a fact of life in your IT environment. Legacy systems present an additional dilemma: how to manage different network infrastructures as separate entities. Invariably, management tasks are frequently duplicated for each network protocol and often introduce problems across network boundaries such as SNA and TCP/IP. This resource- intensive approach is costly, and can result in additional delays and network downtime. NetworkIT efficiently and effectively manages all networked environments centrally from the enterprise level. This protocol-independent, highly scalable solution monitors and manages network traffic while providing an integrated picture of network performance.

Intuitively manage your entire network through the NetworkIT topology map.

Taking Network Management Further
NetworkIT monitors network performance from the end-user and system perspectives. This enables administrators to proactively manage the environment by providing an accurate picture of the network�s performance. eBusiness is taking the challenges in network management to greater heights, demanding more scalable, reliable, and comprehensive solutions than ever before.

NetworkIT takes network management to a new level. It delivers a complete solution that optimizes network performance and availability, and increases service to your business. NetworkIT enables you to:

• Manage networks in an eBusiness context by aligning network management with your business objectives and ensuring that the priorities used for managing the network are the same as those used for managing your business.
• Assure service levels by managing both the availability and performance of the network infrastructure.
• Manage today�s network infrastructure in one seamless management solution that delivers more network management "out-of-the-box" than any other product.
