Riddle me this…
1.) What quality network connections do you have?
2.) Are you paying for more service than you need?
3.) What condition is your current system in?
4.) How do you troubleshoot problems?
5.) Who is accessing your system?
…the answers we hear most often are that of uncertainty or faint notions of seemingly good or bad, with nothing really to point at. The truth is, that your telecommunications and network services should not be a mystery. No matter if you are making a business decision which affects recurring expenses, or determining why it is your services are faltering… you need to have the information available in order to make a wise and informed course of action.
The Spydur provides the most information possible, across all aspects of your telecommunications and networking services
1.) What quality network connections do you have?
The Spydur continuously measures the network latency with an unlimited number of hosts, whether internal or external to your network, and charts the results on a timeline basis. Not only will you see the latency across these hosts, but also the deviation or jitter from it. You will further be able to determine if a problem resides with a specific host, or with your provider, as the results overlay on combined graphs.
2.) Are you paying for more service than you need?
The Spydur continuously measures the amount of throughput you are actually using from an unlimited number of access points, whether at your own site or a remote office, and charts the results on a timeline basis. Not only will you see what you are using, but if your provider(s) are delivering what is being promised. Many times, we see customers paying for significantly more service than what is actually needed, and this can immediately be turned around into monthly savings!
3.) What condition is your current system in?
The Spydur continuously measures the system’s health across all metrics, and charts the results on a timeline basis (e.g. utilization, activity, temperature, voltages, etc.). This includes all components at the hardware level, and all services at the software level. This helps to identify any discrepancies, and provides a course of action for failing hardware or environmental conditions.
4.) How do you troubleshoot problems?
These charted timelines are an extraordinary and valuable resource, but sometimes you may want to manually run any number of tests to further pinpoint or confirm issues. You may also need to process and view special, real-time debug information from a variety of other devices (e.g. routers, switches, telephones, etc.). The Spydur makes all of this possible, as you can easily perform these tests, and accept diagnostic information for other devices on your network too!
5.) Who is accessing your system?
Sometimes the hardest issues to pinpoint have nothing to do with your network or the system itself (hardware/software), but rather users trying to do something they are “not supposed to do.” The Spydur logs absolutely everything on a timeline basis, and will help pinpoint oddities and errors as caused by users themselves.
The next time someone says:
“I had a problem yesterday at 3 o’clock, but we are good now… can you tell me what happened yesterday at 3 o’clock?”
…you will know exactly where to look, and what to say!!!
