Magnum Technologies Unveils COORDINATOR 4.0 Enhanced Management Software - Reduces Downtime with Rapid identification and Resolution of Complex Networking Issues
Enhanced Management Software Accelerates Automated IT Fault, Discovery and Correlation Management Capabilities for Complex Core Network Infrastructures
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 27, 2005 -- http://www.magnum-tech.com — Magnum Technologies, a leading
developer of information technology (IT) management software for measuring and
improving the business impact of IT, today announced the launch of the latest
version of its COORDINATOR software solution.
COORDINATOR 4.0 extends the
reach of COORDINATOR software within large-scale enterprises to include remote
locations, which permits quicker identification and resolution of system and
networking events that could disrupt business operations across the entire
enterprise.
“The new COORDINATOR 4.0 significantly extends and
strengthens the original management capabilities and benefits of COORDINATOR,”
said Tim Hadden, Chief Technology Officer of Magnum Technologies. “With
COORDINATOR 4.0 large-scale enterprises can now quickly deploy our software
capabilities and more rapidly resolve network and system
issues.”
Magnum’s COORDINATOR provides network professionals the
information they need in minutes to identify and resolve the root cause issues
behind both system and network events. COORDINATOR gathers network topology data
from enterprise management platforms such as IBM NetView; discovers and displays
additional Multi-Layer device information; and builds a more complete and
up-to-date topology map that helps network and system administrators pinpoint
problems more quickly.
Once installed, COORDINATOR 4.0 immediately
identifies non-IP addressable, layer 2 ports and blades, and relates that
information to the layer 3 information already recorded in the enterprise
management platform This gives the network and system administrator a fuller
understanding of the entire environment, and the status of each device.
“The release of COORDINATOR 4.0 is one of many significant product
enhancements planned for the entire Magnum product suite this year,” said Mike
Ducatelli, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing of Magnum
Technologies. “With this pipeline of new releases, we are quickly becoming the
market leader in not only network management but management of all IP based
components, such as IP based Storage and Voice over IP VOIP
devices.”
