Network Monitoring - Broadcast Equipment Monitoring

MTD Systems has been doing this Network Monitoring thing for awhile now and we have developed many ways for our clients to look at devices, systems, and their enterprise. It’s been called The Human Interface: How can your technical people and operators best get their mind around what is happening anywhere in the enterprise? Here are some examples of looking at an enterprise and how it might look to drill into a device (this example is taken from an 1100 node system located all across the US).

US Map view that has several parameters displayed on a per-state basis. The hover will provide details of the issues of all sites with in the state.

If one of the states is drilled into, then you get this display that shows where the issues are by icon color.

Here is another representation of the sites - buttons in a tabular view change color to depict status.

If a device at the site is selected, then this is displayed.

Finally the Google Earth View that lets you fly around the world, zoom in and zoom out, to visit any facility in your enterprise. Of course you can drill into it as above.
