The nearly exponential growth of the consumer IT market has forced operators, MSPs and enterprises to invest in complex next-generation networks to compensate for the explosion of mobile data. In turn, the evolution of today's networks – along with the unique demands that are put on them – have made network performance management tools a must-have for organizations that require a high level of performance, availability and reliability.

Over the years, Wilmington, Delaware-based SevOne has positioned itself as a leader in this market. SevOne has developed a comprehensive performance management solution capable of identifying, troubleshooting and resolving performance problems, no matter where they are on the network.

Based on a unique peer-to-peer architecture, the network performance management solution is faster, more scalable and easier to customize than competing solutions. SevOne can scale to monitor more than one million managed elements – including those stemming from firewalls, routers, servers and switches– anywhere on the network. Needless to say, SevOne is capable of growing alongside any network.

Another key differentiating factor is SevOne's comprehensive nature. The full-featured integrated appliance comes equipped with a host of core components, including SNMP monitoring, NetFlow collection, real-time reporting, latency measurements, IP SLA provisioning, event alerts and quality of service measurements. Simply put, there isn't another solution on the market that can match SevOne's extensive monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.

As such, the solution requires no additional software, hardware or external databases, meaning it can begin monitoring the health of a network within minutes of installation. All core components are included at no additional cost.

SevOne provides all this functionality while remaining an open platform. Network, server and application teams can integrate the appliance with any number of outside platforms, including CA Spectrum, HP OpenView, EMC Ionix and IBM (News - Alert) Tivoli, among others. IT teams that would prefer to integrate their own custom platform can do so using SevOne's fully documented SOAP-based API.

In addition to its monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities, SevOne sets itself apart with its real-time reporting and alert tools. The network performance management can generate data immediately following a poll or event. And with true automated fail-over and fail-back functionality, "we simply don't miss polls, even when fully loaded," says SevOne.
