InfoVista InfoVista is a comprehensive, flexible Service Level Management and
conformance solution for Information Technology (IT) organizations,
telcos, outsourcers, and network service providers. As an
enterprise-oriented solution, InfoVista renders a uniform view of service
level achievements across every component within an information
system. Unlike other more narrowly focused products, InfoVista collects
and interprets data from every facet of the IT infrastructure, including
network, device, applications, and systems.
InfoVista collects data from standard and nonstandard devices, such as
servers, workstations, and applications, and measures and reports on
user-selected metrics required for Service Level Agreement conformance.
Its easy-to-use interface enables IT managers and nontechnical users alike
to analyze resource activity and trends, anticipate future demands, and
prepare customized Quality of Service reports for distribution to
customers.
