Managing IT services requires a combination of analyses including the performance of underlying applications, hardware and networked resources. This viewpoint is clearly reflected in the ITIL description of Service Management as including a dependence on 'IT infrastructure Performance Management' processes and tools.

Device Health

For years now, global enterprises have recognized the importance of complementing their fault management solutions such as HP NNM with network performance analysis and reporting solutions. In the '90s, a number of products were developed that today are available from companies such as Computer Associates, HP and IBM. The problem for mid-sized and global enterprises alike is that these products are inordinately expensive for the contribution they make to today's IT management environments.

Aruba provides the same rich level of functional solution, for the vast majority of your operational and engineering needs, as the leading products. Aruba, however, can be implemented for a fraction of the price you are likely paying just to maintain these more archaic solutions.

Whether proving compliance with operational components of IT SLAs or rapidly identifying the cause of degraded applications performance, Aruba provides hundreds of mid-sized and large enterprises the tools to answer tough questions quickly.
