“Network Sentry/Analytics gives us a global, long-term view of what-s going on across our network. We can visualize what direction trends are going, analyze the root causes through its drill down reports, and identify and prepare for spikes. In particular, it will help us with our capacity planning and enable us to prepare for our peak season — during the winter months — and seamlessly support the additional 25-30 percent more patients and visitors accessing our network,” said John Bozer, director information systems, Sarasota Memorial Health Care Systems. “Having Network Sentry/Analytics as a cloud-based service is a major advantage because we get a lot of value-add information without the burden of managing additional infrastructure.”
In addition to the integration with the Network Sentry SmartEdge Platform, Network Sentry/Analytics 1.5 extends the depth and breadth of information it stores for each and every network connection to give users an accurate overview of trends, as well as the ability to drill down and isolate the root cause of specific issues.
Network Sentry/Analytics 1.5 also includes:
Fully customizable reports that enable users quickly compare different time periods, users, devices, applications and any other parameter
Drill downs to gain further insights into the root cause of any issue and understand how it impacts long-term trends
Built-in robust indexing and filtering capabilities to enable users to create detailed reports using very limited search criteria such as IP address, location, or connection time
Turnkey reports that can be leveraged to demonstrate compliance
Reports that profile end-user device types to proactively address application interoperability issues
Capacity reports that identify potential wireless infrastructure bottlenecks
“The BYOD trend is happening so fast that organizations are struggling to profile the changes taking place and this leaves critical questions unanswered,” said Tom Murphy, CMO of Bradford Networks. “By integrating with the Network Sentry SmartEdge Platform, Network Sentry/Analytics 1.5 can now correlate data across the entire BYOD ecosystem to identify hot spots for risk.”
Network Sentry/Analytics 1.5 is deployed on a highly scalable Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) hosting platform and is generally available. All Bradford Networks customers who have deployed Network Sentry version 5 and higher can leverage Network Sentry/Analytics.
