EYE 2009 includes new modules and core product enhancements that allow business end-users to realize peak efficiency from IT services while maximizing return from existing infrastructures. These additions enable modern IT administrators to stream network intelligence in real-time through browsers and proactively avoid network support issues that often go unnoticed with oversimplified management tools or complex framework solutions.
EYE 2009 Product Features:
- Workflow-Driven Multi-server Operation – Toggle between unique federated or consolidated schemes that streamline management of even the most dynamic and complex distributed networks. Provides an efficient, configurable, Web-based route to action and quick validation that is scalable for larger networks.
- Reporting & Live Data Feeds – From organizational and navigational improvements in out-of-the-box reports to new time-series stream APIs, no other network management solution captures a greater depth of information about the network infrastructure AND opens the data for accessibility by users and partners.
- IPv6 Compatibility – Allows for unified management of IPv4 and IPv6 infrastructures, phased deployments, and flexibility in selecting connectivity providers.
- MPLS Module – Detailed configuration, utilization, & performance data at the LDP, LSR, and VPN tiers are automatically kept up to date to improve manageability of MPLS-enabled networks. Configurable operational thresholds alert to potentially detrimental changes promoting resolution before user impact.
- Optimized Poller – Gives users more control to add device support, providing finer granularity and efficiency with multi-threaded architecture while improving the capacity planning process.
- Customizable Event Control & Viewing – Greater control of “event noise” and refined event handling focuses attention for rapid resolution across network servers, views, devices, and ports.
- Green IT Perspective – Introduces a revolutionary solution to quantify operational costs and savings opportunities for network devices, servers, and workstations in any green business initiative. A customizable dashboard and integration point for policies, reports, reference materials, real-time statistics, communities, wikis, and other materials keeps employees knowledgeable and green initiatives on track.

“Rock solid network management is a must-have, with the success of most business initiatives riding 100% on the ability to connect to enterprise applications and services. And assuring availability is not enough – degradations can be just as damaging as outages. IT-empowered companies depend on predictable network performance, which requires a proactive, automated solution from a provider that puts network management – and its customers’ needs – first on its list.”
