SYS Sys Technologies, Inc.

While there�s no free lunch, there is free network management compliments of dopplerVUE and SYS Technologies (AMEX:SYS), which released dVUE6 today, the sixth in its series of free tools for network management professionals. dVUEs are compact, graphical software gadgets that perform targeted network and IT management functions right from the desktop. dVUE6, named �Lighthouse,� provides network managers an early warning system of critical network elements that are in or may be approaching troubled status. By collecting syslog messages from network-connected devices, dVUE6�s five rows of lights show the five network devices with the most syslog alarms (color coded for severity), as well as the up/down availability status of the device. dVUE6 runs on any Microsoft desktop, either as a desktop utility or as a Vista sidebar gadget. For more on syslog and using dVUE6, please see our NetTip. Over 66,000 downloads of dVUEs 1 through 5 have been logged since the series was debuted by SYS, whose heritage in network management includes the development of NeuralStar, an enterprise platform used in some of the world�s most advanced and secure networks, such as DARPA, and its latest product, dopplerVUE, for small and medium size companies. SYS� full dVUE lineup, all of which are free and downloadable at www.dopplervue.com/, include: - dVUE1 � Web Tender helps managers identify why users may experience website performance issues - dVUE2 � SpeedTrap measures upload and download speeds - dVUE3 � ServsUp monitors local or remote servers - dVUE4 � QueueVue identifies mail queue bottlenecks in Microsoft Exchange servers - dVUE5 � OID Tracker collects and graphs any of hundreds of network device metrics - dVUE6 � Lighthouse uses syslog messages to identify potentially troubled network devices Managers can use dVUEs to collect critical information about their networks and devices, and also have their users place dVUEs on their desktops to provide supporting information when reporting problems. For example, if a user reports that a web site is performing slowly, the user�s desktop dVUE can substantiate whether the issue is with the site serving the web page, with a processor, or a connection problem on the user�s own computer. The popularity of dVUEs has soared since the introduction of dVUE1 in July 2007, with actual downloads estimated at over 100,000 as new dVUEs are picked up by and linked to other distribution sites. dVUEs are part of SYS Technologies� goal to provide versatile and economical ways for managers to easily monitor and understand their network and the experience of their users. dVUEs operate independently from SYS Technologies� new network management product, dopplerVUE, although future dVUEs will have additional capabilities dopplerVUE users will be able to leverage. dopplerVUE, which is being demonstrated at Interop Las Vegas, April 28�May 1, 2008 (booth #1877), is SYS Technologies� new network management solution that combines management and monitoring features once available only in expensive enterprise solutions. Priced and packaged for small and mid-sized organizations, dopplerVUE delivers top-down visibility and self-aware monitoring that helps overburdened management teams extend their reach and effectiveness. dopplerVUE fully integrates fault and performance monitoring with discovery and automated mapping in a single, unified dashboard across networked devices, applications and services.
