Fluke Networks (Fluke) recognizes fundamental changes in the structure of enterprise IT networks and data centers. The manufacturer wants to take into account the trends in cloud computing , mobile users and unified communications with a product strategy for "the unlimited enterprise". The TruView Live monitoring solution, which has now been introduced, fits into these.
Even Software as a Service ( SaaS ) monitors the product as a service-deployed application, platform, and infrastructure. IT managers should with the offer:
track the end-to-end availability and performance of networks in real time with a single dashboard;
Capture alerts and set performance limits to resolve issues before they become a problem for users;
Isolate problems and react proactively to maintain the productivity of the company;
Create accurate reports on SaaS performance and business management SLAs as needed.TruView collects data agentless via an active test sensor. Fluke provides this in three forms: as a physical test device (TruView Pulse), software for Windows and Linux (Virtual Pulse) or in a distributed cloud- hosted application (Global Pulse).
Fluke offers TruView Live usage-based. Further details and a trial version are available against registration.
The present SaaS should not remain the only product access for the "unlimited enterprise". For example, Fluke intends to deliver additional solutions for hosted VoIP, mobile user experience and enhanced security features later this year. In addition, the vendor also refers to its established suite that could detect IT issues across a wide variety of devices, applications, sites, and cloud providers :
Visual TruView - A unified network and application performance tracking solution that enables IT departments to quickly identify and resolve client, network, service, and application issues by including five tools in one.
OptiView XG - A rugged and portable tablet for network engineers that combines analysis of wired and mobile networks to address issues and assess network quality for VoIP / Video / UC implementations.
OneTouch AT 10G Network Assistant - An automated portable tester for network engineers to troubleshoot 10 Gigabit data centers and validate connectivity, service availability and path performance.
AirMagnet - A comprehensive suite of mobile network design, analysis, and security products, including intrusion prevention, network health assessment, and remote troubleshooting.
Arif Kareem, president of Fluke Networks, comments: "Traditional IT has reached a point where a balance of technological and business benefits is essential. With departments playing an increasing role in selecting and integrating cloud-based services across the enterprise, IT managers must act as partners while ensuring the quality of service for all applications. By assuming responsibility for an improved user experience, IT can demonstrate a critical business advantage. "
