Market Requirements
Today engineers, analysts, planners, managers and customers use various network based information reporting and analysis tools and utilities. These tools often obtain information regarding network
resources' condition and behavior either directly from the devices themselves, or through various point solution, legacy data sources such as proxy sensor/agents, or alternatively through network measuring
devices such as RMON/RMON2 agents. These approaches to instrumentation do not share common sources, metrics, semantics, access mechanisms, business rules nor aggregation methods. Unchecked,
the continual deployment of point solution data sources and "legacy" data marts leads to:
Conflicting viewpoints and definitions of the network state and behavior;
Proprietary and non-scalable data access methodologies,
Overlapping and redundant work for those managing the systems.
To reverse this trend, managers and their staffs need:
A common organizational (business) view of networked information;
Standard data access mechanisms;
A inherently scalable, modular architecture to meet the required load.
Company Overview
No single product nor any simple combination of products available in the marketplace today address the requirements for a standards-based, common organizational repository, robust data acquisition
mechanisms, and a scalable architecture.
Verticon, Inc. has developed and is testing and refining a toolkit and applications which will integrate
"best in class" components from highly regarded technology companies, both software and hardware. Our solutions will help our customers produce comprehensive data mart and decision support systems
for network knowledge workers, corporate executives, and their customers.
Verticon, Inc. has focused on providing service provider class network management data mart,
decision support toolkit, and distributed data aquisition applications.
We have developed these tools primarily using four cutting edge development methods:
Java 2 bean development through component assembly;
an XML document driven architecture;
late binding of objects in the application;
dynamic distributed component infrastructure.
We can also quickly build custom solutions for one-of network data integration projects.
