ByteSphere

 

ByteSphere®is a Boston based software company specializing in Global IT Managementsolutions. Our products are designed to optimize your ITinfrastructure's performance, availability, and increase ROI, all whiledecreasing the complexity of IT management. In addition, we haveensured that our products are easily extensible and can integrateeffortlessly with your existing infrastructure or network managementprovider. This allows you to keep your investment in your existing datawarehouse, monitoring and/or reporting solutions while implementing ournext generation Integration Engine Units to perform criticalcollection, discovery, alerting with SNMP Traps and correlationfunctions.

Network Management toolsets are needed to administer and monitor your networks, systems, and applications. OidView SNMP MIB Browseris a network tool that uses the SNMP protocol to talk to various agentsand devices on a computer network (e.g. applications, routers,switches, printers, servers, probes, etc). Engineers can use OidView tolook at Interfaces, Memory and CPU Utilization, Bandwidth Utilization,User Accounting, Buffer and Interface statistics (including Errors,Discards, Octets, etc.) Our professional toolset includes MIB Browser,MIB Manager, MIB Compiler, Performance Poller, PDU Trace module, EntityMIB, and Interface Grid. All modules are available with the Enterpriselicense.

Fault Management solutions are needed toproactively capture, report, and act on SNMP Traps happening insideyour network. Our Fault Management engine is capable of capturing andmatching thousands of SNMP Traps each second and storing millions ofmatched and unfiltered alarms. The platform includes out-of-the-boxpre-defined trap filters for many enterprise hardware vendors likeCisco, Juniper, IBM, etc. In addition, complex filters can be createdby using multiple condition-based rules, providing to the administratoran unrivaled SNMP Trap matching and filter definition capability.

PerformanceManagement uses a number of collection techniques to determine network,device, and resource utilization as well as a variety of other criticalmetrics; coupled with predictive modeling algorithms collected data canbe used to determine MTBF, leveraged for capacity planning, or exportedand shared with 3rd-party applications and systems for a wide range offunctions. Jaguar's Monitor Engine (ME) can be used by itself orintegrated with any 3rd-party NMS; allowing for efficient datacollection and delivery to a variety of data and reporting sources. ByteSphere has also solved the “scale” issue, and our design allows forefficiently polling millions of network elements and utilizes a verysmall footprint.

Application Management is crucialto determine the health and availability of your mission criticalapplications and websites. ByteSphere Agent, our desktop prototype, canwatch protocol utilization on any machine on a particular segment, andtrace network traffic. The Jaguar App Management Engine (AME), willperform passive collection of application traffic and allow alertingand reporting of application related events and detect attacks whenthey occur. The AME can be standalone or will easily integrate with3rd-party network management and reporting packages.

InventoryManagement uses a powerful, extensible discovery engine to get aholistic view of the agents, devices, and applications on the network,how they communicate, interact, and depend on one another. Once thetopology of the network and the applications that run on it is defined,network maps and diagrams can be automatically created from thediscovered information and overall dependency information can bedetermined. This in turn helps with Event Correlation.

EventCorrelation determines how disparate events are related and makespredictions and alerts based on pre-defined heuristics. Theseheuristics can be created and extended by the user to allow forultimate control of event reporting in the IT infrastructure. TheJaguar Event Correlation Engine (ECE) will be performing these tasks.
