As today's Fortune 500 production networks grow in size and scope, so does the demand for achieving total network visibility. One hundred percent visibility is essential to realizing the rigorous "five-nines" uptime standard, and failing to monitor all points on the network can lead to costly outages.

While it is cost prohibitive to put monitoring devices at every network point, it is equally unwise to have them sit idle until needed. The ideal solution is to deploy devices in a way that allows them to be shared to maximize coverage and device utilization – where they can be roved instantly and electronically to a required point on the network at a moment's notice.

With the adoption of packet aggregation switching, efficient device sharing is now becoming more common. However, effectively managing this infrastructure from a single, centralized point has remained a challenge – until now.

APCON's intuitive, web-accessible EnterPoint software offers IT departments a single, centralized point of control from which to administer an efficient and comprehensive network monitoring program.
