- 17. How Do We Do It?
- 19. As opposed to… 19 Multiple products with distinct: • Servers • Databases • Internal architectures • Deployment requirements • GUIs • Administrative tasks • Reporting
- 20. Entuity at Work “Entuity monitors the network in real time, and it has allowed us to keep customer satisfaction at high levels by giving them deep insight into what’s happening on the network. We’re impressed with Entuity’s capabilities and believe its well-designed architecture suits our business model very well.” Matt Whitaker Service Management Centre Senior Engineer Tait Communications
- 21. Entuity at Work “The improvements to topology maps in Entuity 16 really stand out for us. We’ve used them for a long time for monitoring and troubleshooting with a lot of success, but the changes in this latest release bring them to a whole new level. The visibility is deeper, the features are richer and easier to use, and the performance is lighting fast. I can easily see us expanding our use of them for more proactive management.” Stegen Smith Sr. Network Engineer Adobe Systems
- 22. Entuity at Work “Entuity and its integration with BMC TrueSight allowed us to consolidate a lot of functionality that used to be spread out across many locations. It helped us move from a disjointed set of tools that were expensive to manage, to a centralized way of monitoring the entire network consistently, proactively, and efficiently.” Andrzej Ciupa Monitoring & Remote Operations Manager Vattenfall
- 23. Entuity at Work “Entuity is quick to respond to our hardware vendor interoperability requests and we appreciate how they continually adapt to shifts in technology. For us to have a software vendor that always improves its product is instrumental to our continued success as an IT organization.” Paul Du Plessis Discovery IT Communications Manager
- 24. “Entuity proactively highlighted areas of focus to address before they became service impacting issues. This allowed us to ultimately provide better services to our customers.” Dell Services Entuity at Work
- 25. Entuity at Work “The ability to integrate leading edge emerging technologies into our network infrastructure to support and improve it for future growth and sustained availability is crucial.” Manager Data Network, Design and Operations within the Networking and Telecommunications Services group, University of Minnesota
- 26. Entuity at Work “During the pilot program and implementation, Entuity was very responsive to our needs. Entuity's willingness to be a true partner provided us with the ability to impact product planning for Entuity, further helping us to meet our goals and objectives for better network operations and availability.” Bob Odenheimer Senior VP of IT Operations Magellan Health Services
- 27. Entuity at Work “End user application performance issues have been reduced by 50% since deploying Entuity. We have set new standards for business productivity for all our Pernod Ricard Americas employees.” Josh Pelosi Sr. IT Operator Pernod Ricard

Editor's Notes
- Key customers and partners. Important slide for establishing Entuity’s credibility.
- Another slide to emphasize credibility and global reach.
- Network management is more than about the nuts and bolts of running the network. Service delivery is critical and the network is key to supporting applications.
- Related to prior slide. Can help to fill out the story of how important the network is to the business and what a good NMS has to offer.
- Certain IT objectives must be met to ensure high availability and performance so that end users have a great experience and can stay productive.
- These are all NMS considerations, and Entuity offers all of these, but the key differentiator is our architecture, which we’ll discuss shortly.
- This and next slide are important for providing a brief overview as to the key reasons why Entuity wins against the competition. The points can be moved through fairly rapidly. Some of our competitors make a few of these claims (which can be acknowledged), especially “single pane of glass,” but our unique architecture, which comes up in the next slides, underpin these benefits and explains why Entuity is architected specifically to handle the challenges faced by enterprise networks.
- Continuation of previous slide.
- A high-level overview of the core functionality included in Entuity all-in-one.
- Additional features that have not yet been mentioned in the presentation.
- Product solutions in addition to the all-in-one.
- Our architecture enables us to deliver everything covered in prior slides and why Entuity is a superior network management solutions over our competitors. Architecture is our key differentiator.None of our competitors offer anything like it. Entuity is the only truly unified network management solution because of our architecture. Our competitors cannot make this claim because their underlying architectures simply are not built for modern networks in mind, which undergo continual change. (See slide 10 notes for more points.)
- These are Entuity’s three architectural pillars. They provide a great overview of how our architecture works and explain why we can make the claims that we do—agility, all-in-one, easy to scale, easy to learn, boosts operational efficiency, and more. These three are key to everything. All-in-One: One product for network management, including physical and virtual devices. Layer of abstraction shields users and administrators from underlying complexity of the architecture. No messing with integrations—everything works together transparently. Federated Architecture: Unlimited scalability AND easy too because you link the servers together and they know how to communicate with each other automatically. Uniform Data Schema: Data schema of each database embedded in Entuity servers is identicalAllows for distributed data processing and optimized I/O load across Entuity servers, while simultaneously presenting multiple databases as one logical, global database that administrators and users can automatically access from any server. Improves I/O and scalability and delivers timely, accurate data.
- Here are a few talking points around legacy solutions offered by our competitors. Legacy solutions consist of multiple unintegrated or loosely integrated products (hodgepodge), created or acquired over time, each of which covers one core discipline, such as topology, flow, performance, or fault. Each product has its own GUI, deployment and scalability requirements, database etc., which means that each must be handled independently. The various pieces must be initially integrated and then continually reintegrated to keep them in sync. They offer only surface level integrations, so very little intelligence is passed between them. (i.e., cross functional cooperation or sharing of data). They’re fragile systems with many “moving parts” each needing a busload of staff or consultants to maintain and scale. A so-called consolidation layer can make the products appear somewhat unified, but actually increases complexity by adding yet another product that must be integrated and separately maintained. They’ll do the job, but at what cost? If you’re afraid to touch anything and it’s getting prohibitively expensive to keep the system alive, you need to change. These systems are not architected for today’s networks or to grow with them.
