4 6 7 DEMO FOR A LIVE DEMO OF A CLIENT NETWORK BEING MONITORED BY TOSHIBA NETWORK MONITOR GO TO: USER NAME: simon PASSWORD: dolphin20 Managing a corporate network needn t be complicated. Toshiba Network Monitor uses Mutiny s simple web interface to report back the performance of every aspect of the network in real-time. Clear alerts warn of actual failure, likely failure and service okay. Its so powerful, yet so simple to use. PUT AN END TO DOWNTIME [EXAMPLE] 1 [EXAMPLE] 2 Dan has got to get a proposal out in the next ten minutes or he loses the deal to their arch rival in the glass delivery business. Dudley, the senior Sales Manager, is an early morning person, but often found that his network wasn t. He asked the MD for 24 hour IT support. Instead they installed a Toshiba Network Monitor. Suddenly the network crashes and Dan sees his career ebb away. James, the Network Manager, appears from the back room and declares that the router has died and he doesn t know why, unable to give an explanation. One evening, while no-one was in the office, the file server reached critical processor levels. The server s icon went red and Mutiny automatically sent a text message to the network manager s mobile. Routers are critical to an organisation s network and a number of factors can cause them to fail. He was able to access the file server remotely through Mutiny s interface and quickly perform a reboot. If the Toshiba Network Monitor was set to monitor the router s functions it would have alerted James to the rising amount of memory being used, enabling him to install the spare router. As it was, Dan lost the deal. With Toshiba Network Monitor, Dudley continued to be productive in the morning. His network was productive all day. 24/7 NETWORK MONITORING 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR WITHOUT FAIL BE ALERT TO NETWORK PROBLEMS: OPERATORS ARE NOTIFIED OF CRITICAL NETWORK OR SYSTEM EVENTS VIA ANY COMBINATION OF WEB INTERFACE, AND SMS MESSAGING TO A PHONE OR PAGER.

Just a simple, highly functional out-of-the-box solution that brings advanced network management capabilities to the network. What s more, the solution can be deployed in under 4 hours! KEEN PRICE RAPID ROI At under 10,000, Toshiba Network Monitor kicks the competition into touch. Most competitive solutions sell for upwards of 50,000 and demand a high degree of technical expertise and support. This solution makes network monitoring truly accessible. 3 GREAT FUNCTIONALITY Toshiba Network Monitor includes the most popular functionality of its higher priced competitors, and strips out the rarely used features. There s absolutely no compromise in performance. What s more, it s compatible with all modern network configurations. GETTING INSTALLED HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER Mutiny is free-standing, not rack mounted, but has no special requirements regarding positioning. The overall size is similar to a TV set top box. (340mm x 269mm x 69mm) Prior to installation we need to ask you some simple questions about your network. Installation normally takes only a few hours and includes training for up to three people. A dedicated 10/100 RJ45 port on a switch or a hub that connects to the network. A static IP address will need to be allocated for the configuration. Internet Explorer Web browser v5.5 or v6.0 loaded onto a PC to access the Mutiny interface. A complete list of all the nodes to be monitored, including their IP addresses and their network names. To benefit from the full extent of Mutiny s monitoring features, a node needs to be running a SNMP agent with a known community string.

6 10 11 CASE STUDY 1 STOPPING STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS THE CHALLENGE The JANET Web Caching Network, which provides facilities for UK universities, is a vast system supported by 40 servers in 3 locations. It s used by over 150 universities daily, receiving 100+ million daily requests for information, shipping a terabyte of data per day. Their network is mission critical to each university and every student. THE SOLUTION The service has to be up and running at all times to maintain the level of student support. They chose Toshiba Network Monitor to monitor each service machine for availability and other service indicators. It facilitates centralised management and is invaluable in ensuring a high level of service to students at all times. THE COMMENT Tim Robinson, Head of Manchester Computing, explains, We have been under enormous pressure to maintain the network and investment in network monitoring has meant that our team are no longer reactive to downtime and faults. We can now concentrate on optimising and improving what we have, rather than running round plugging holes. CASE STUDY MUTINY AVERTS FUEL CRISIS AT GREENERGY 2 THE CHALLENGE Greenergy, 13th fastest growing business in the UK (Deloitte and Touche Fastrack 100, 2001), is Europe s leading energy and carbon monoxide management company. It requires constant access to its European wide IT network. Their business operates 24 hours a day, leaving no obvious window for big data downloads. When staff and trading partners found this unsatisfactory, something had to be done. THE SOLUTION Using the graphing functionality of Toshiba Network Monitor with Mutiny Onboard, they were able to view the bandwidth usage over time and ascertain those periods during the day when network usage was at a minimum. Greenergy was then able to plan uploads at appropriate times of the day ensuring minimal impact on the network s performance. THE COMMENT Since deploying the Toshiba Network Monitor we have a much better understanding of traffic patterns, allowing us to manage data transfer more effectively. says Alex Lewis, Commercial Manager CASE STUDY RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB 3 THE CHALLENGE As one of the UK s fastest growing recruitment consultancies, specialising in placing IT and telecoms contractors, Venn Group relies on its network to communicate with its 100 staff, and numerous clients and contractors. With offices across the UK and Ireland all sharing business critical information via a voice over IP enabled network as well as multiple VPN s, network reliability is key to their continuing commitment to offer the highest quality service. THE SOLUTION As an initial pilot Venn Group deployed Mutiny to monitor its key servers only. Once they were satisfied about its reliability and performance, they extended its use to their switches and remote offices. Today Mutiny monitors their entire infrastructure regardless of vendor or operating system. THE COMMENT This was a straightforward internal sign off, compared to other products. We could clearly see how Mutiny could give us a far deeper insight into our network. We are now not only able to pinpoint exact areas for network investment, but can also save costs by not having to spend on unnecessary improvements. Deirdra Moynihan, Chief Executive
