Anue Systems Automates Incident Remediation to Speed Root Cause Analysis

Anue Systems, the leading provider of network monitoring switches, announces that its award-winning Net Tool Optimizer™ (NTO) is validated as Ready for the IBM (News - Alert) Tivoli Netcool®/OMNIbus solution. The solution gives customers the ability to easily detect, analyze and respond to network anomalies.

The Anue Systems NTO's Automated Response Technology allows packets to be automatically captured based on alerts identified by IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) and simplifying the process of remediating potential network issues. For example, when IBM Tivoli Netcool detects an anomaly, the Anue NTO can automatically send the right traffic to a forensic recorder or other monitoring probe.

The combined Anue NTO and IBM Tivoli Netcool solution helps companies to:

• Accelerate root cause analysis by capturing the required packets
• Eliminate time consuming and error prone manual steps
• Provide monitoring and security tools the right data, at the right time, from anywhere in the network
• Simplify compliance reporting

"Packet-based monitoring and security appliances are only as useful as the data they receive," said John Delfeld, director of business development for Anue Systems. "The integrated Anue NTO and IBM Tivoli Netcool solution automatically sends the right traffic to the right packet-capture appliance, at the right time. By automating out-of-band monitoring traffic flow, based on the alerting and correlation capabilities, Netcool issues can be resolved before they become a problem."

The Anue NTO network monitoring switch resides in data centers between network SPAN ports or TAPs and monitoring and security tools. The NTO provides complete network visibility by aggregating, filtering and replicating traffic so that all tools get the necessary data. The automation capabilities of the Anue NTO help companies to get the most from their security and monitoring tools.
