7. What is Network Management?
It’s about more than the network
Service delivery is critical
Strategic asset for ensuring the network supports the company and its initiatives
Network management is more than about the nuts and bolts of running the network. Service delivery is critical and the network is key to supporting applications and the overall business.

8. Understand the Business Impact
How is the business affected?
View by application or functional department
Who and What is Impacted?
Applications, users, devices
Visual Correlation – All in one console
Physical and logical topology
Root cause
Traffic flow analysis
Virtual servers and switches
Configuration management and change monitoring
Related to prior slide. Can help to fill out the story of how important the network is to the business and what a good NMS has to offer.

9. IT Objectives Minimize cost of tools and resources
Increase availability
Expand visibility
Risk mitigation
Faster problem resolution
Rapid time to value
Prove organizational value of IT
Certain IT objectives must be met to ensure high availability and performance so that end users have a great experience and can stay productive.

10. Enterprise NMS Considerations
Factors for NMS selection
Architecture
Consolidation
Scalability
Automation
Ease-of-Use
Heterogeneous Environments
Multiple Platforms
Deep, Accessible, Integrated Data
Actionable Reporting
3rd Party Integrations
Security

17. Architecture How Do We Do It?
Our architecture enables us to deliver everything covered in prior slides and why Entuity is a superior network management solutions over our competitors.
None of our competitors offer anything like it.
Entuity is the only truly unified network management solution because of our architecture. Our competitors cannot make this claim because their underlying architectures simply are not built for modern networks in mind, which undergo continual change. (See slide 10 notes for more points.)

18. Entuity Architecture—Three Pillars
These are Entuity’s three architectural pillars. They provide a great overview of how our architecture works and explain why we can make the claims that we do—agility, all-in-one, easy to scale, easy to learn, boosts operational efficiency, and more. These three are key to everything.
All-in-One:
One product for network management, including physical and virtual devices.
Layer of abstraction shields users and administrators from underlying complexity of the architecture.
No messing with integrations—everything works together transparently.
Federated Architecture: Unlimited scalability AND easy too because you link the servers together and they know how to communicate with each other automatically.
Uniform Data Schema:
Data schema of each database embedded in Entuity servers is identical
Allows for distributed data processing and optimized I/O load across Entuity servers,
while simultaneously presenting multiple databases as one logical, global database that administrators and users can automatically access from any server.
Improves I/O and scalability and delivers timely, accurate data.

19. As opposed to… Multiple products with distinct: Servers Databases
Internal architectures
Deployment requirements
GUIs
Administrative tasks
Reporting
Here are a few talking points around legacy solutions offered by our competitors.
Legacy solutions consist of multiple unintegrated or loosely integrated products (hodgepodge), created or acquired over time, each of which covers one core discipline, such as topology, flow, performance, or fault.
Each product has its own GUI, deployment and scalability requirements, database etc., which means that each must be handled independently. The various pieces must be initially integrated and then continually reintegrated to keep them in sync.
They offer only surface level integrations, so very little intelligence is passed between them. (i.e., cross functional cooperation or sharing of data).
They’re fragile systems with many “moving parts” each needing a busload of staff or consultants to maintain and scale.
A so-called consolidation layer can make the products appear somewhat unified, but actually increases complexity by adding yet another product that must be integrated and separately maintained.
They’ll do the job, but at what cost? If you’re afraid to touch anything and it’s getting prohibitively expensive to keep the system alive, you need to change.
These systems are not architected for today’s networks or to grow with them.

20. Entuity at Work
“Entuity monitors the network in real time, and it has allowed us to keep customer satisfaction at high levels by giving them deep insight into what’s happening on the network. We’re impressed with Entuity’s capabilities and believe its well-designed architecture suits our business model very well.”
Matt Whitaker Service Management Centre Senior Engineer Tait Communications
Let’s move on to business focus, requirement 3. With the importance of the network to the business, there are now more and more people—especially management-- outside of IT that have a stake in a highly available, high performance.
Is this what your going to tell management when they ask how the network is supporting the business?
With Entuity, you don’t have to. Entuity offers a comprehensive set of reports and dashboards that cater directly to the needs of a business oriented audience.
Let’s talk about those.
Next slide…

21. Entuity at Work
“The improvements to topology maps in Entuity 16 really stand out for us. We’ve used them for a long time for monitoring and troubleshooting with a lot of success, but the changes in this latest release bring them to a whole new level. The visibility is deeper, the features are richer and easier to use, and the performance is lighting fast. I can easily see us expanding our use of them for more proactive management.”
Stegen Smith Sr. Network Engineer Adobe Systems

22. Entuity at Work
“Entuity and its integration with BMC TrueSight allowed us to consolidate a lot of functionality that used to be spread out across many locations. It helped us move from a disjointed set of tools that were expensive to manage, to a centralized way of monitoring the entire network consistently, proactively, and efficiently.”
Andrzej Ciupa Monitoring & Remote Operations Manager Vattenfall

23. Entuity at Work
“Entuity is quick to respond to our hardware vendor interoperability requests and we appreciate how they continually adapt to shifts in technology. For us to have a software vendor that always improves its product is instrumental to our continued success as an IT organization.”
Paul Du Plessis Discovery IT Communications Manager

24. Entuity at Work
“Entuity proactively highlighted areas of focus to address before they became service impacting issues. This allowed us to ultimately provide better services to our customers.”
Dell Services

25. Entuity at Work
“The ability to integrate leading edge emerging technologies into our network infrastructure to support and improve it for future growth and sustained availability is crucial.”
Manager Data Network, Design and Operations within the Networking and Telecommunications Services group, University of Minnesota

26. Entuity at Work
“During the pilot program and implementation, Entuity was very responsive to our needs. Entuity's willingness to be a true partner provided us with the ability to impact product planning for Entuity, further helping us to meet our goals and objectives for better network operations and availability.”
Bob Odenheimer Senior VP of IT Operations Magellan Health Services

27. Entuity at Work

30. Supplemental Slides

31. Fine tune your network for the best application performance
Discover exact application path through network in < 30 seconds!
Tune the actual parts of the network (L2/L3) that support your critical applications
Set a “reference” path and be alerted of deviations
Proactively monitor application paths
SurePath Realtime Application Path Analysis Software
In addition to its flagship network management solution, Entuity offers SurePath, a powerful, low overhead software solution that shows you the actual network paths (layers 2 and 3) your applications are using to travel across the network in less than 30 seconds. With this knowledge you can tune the actual parts of the network that support your critical applications, set a preferred path as a “reference” and be alerted in case of a deviation (a potential cause of performance issues), and proactively monitor application paths. An optional integration with Entuity Network Management lets you set up automatically monitored “services” for the path/application dependency.
