Long Term Evolution (LTE) provides the bandwidth necessary to
deliver advanced and compelling services. It will no longer be good
enough to maintain the quality of the network.
Service
providers must differentiate themselves by monitoring the user
experience or quality of experience. Mobile providers face a number
of challenges with technologies and standards at and beyond
3GPP / LTE.
Another challenge facing mobile providers will be the requirement
of maintaining a
hybrid environment for...

In the real
world, things don't always go how we plan them. For
example, making configuration
changes can disrupt your existing customers and services
-
and cost $$. Does this
look familiar?
Fallout can occur when spreadsheets, text files or static/legacy
inventory systems are used as the source
when it comes to
implementing
changes. Out-of-date, stale, static and manually updated
configuration information
can badly hurt your network. This means
deep
discovery of inventory and
conf...

Let's talk Dell. One of the nice things about Dell is they provide

Knowledge is power -- and knowledge about network
configuration change is the power to control your network and
ensure uninterrupted
service
to your users. This means the ability to control changes across
your distributed network, knowing when changes occur, by able to
react quickly, effectively and automatically to unauthorized and/or
out-of-compliance changes.
Configuration compliance is also the foundation of
network security: Whether it is compliance to your internal IT
policies, service...

IT infrastructures are a collection of disparate
and converging products, yet all of these technologies must be
configured and monitored to ensure viability of
mission-critical applications and services.
Deploying, configuring and managing a variety of
complex voice and data devices from the same vendor - let alone
multiple vendors - is a daily battle that challenges even the most
experienced administrator. No matter what software solution you
decide to use for
managing complex services and...

How nice would it be to have
1 common interface...
A single GUI, not a bunch of different tools... for
everything?
One aspect of network management:
Inventory/deep discovery. This is something that on the surface
sounds simple, but really is the foundation for everything else
that takes place in your network. For example, "How are my devices
configured?" or "How are my services provisioned?" You can't begin
to fix a system or process that's broken without knowing first what
you have.
Discovery al...

The
world is full of marketing talk. Any company can say they are a
“leader”, “largest” or “most comprehensive”.
Marketing messages and logos pop up everywhere. IBM recreated their
logo on an atomic scale and Rolling Rock generated buzz by
suggesting they were going to imprint their logo on the moon. I
stepped out of my car the other day to see advertisements on the
paint stripes in the parking lot. Seriously, everywhere.
But the real marketing rubber hits the reality road in two words:

Let’s dwell on IT and network compliance monitoring for a
moment.
Typically when someone says this, most individuals either look for
the exit or see an opportunity for a nap. But compliance, as a
subject matter, doesn’t have to be down there with M&M sorting
or Actuarial Science (no offense, it’s just that, on the surface,
that sounds a little dry). It’s a serious matter that helps with
more than just meeting regulatory requirements. And it’s
probably one of the top 10 most important matters...

Problem! Service Providers lose millions of
dollars annually because of poor processes during the provisioning
process.
Partially integrated business and operation support systems
force operators into manual and tedious processes such as manual
CLI, validation, and data entry. We all love our excel forms, but
that data is only as good as the last person who entered
it. So manual and tedious processes result in slow, error
prone provisioning that ultimately reduce efficiencies, upset
customers...

Recently I was at a family event where I got to meet a bunch of new
people: You know, the kind of place where you pretty much have to
find something to talk about because of awkward
silence...
So seemed a great time to be talking
network
compliance, or policy issues or
inventory management. Hey, at Dorado we're pretty excited about
these things. And even better, I found myself talking to a person
who is as wonky as I am! The new girlfriend of my brother-in-law,
who likes football and beer as...

One of the most troubling aspects of network management, especially
managing a far-reaching network is the potential for undiscovered
devices and assets. Not only are undiscovered devices a potential
liability in terms of updates, network drain and unmonitored
activity, they also pose lost revenue potentials. IT audit software
and IT inventory software is a high-priority when discovering
devices complex, multi-vendor environemnts.
Dorado's
Redcell Inventory Management Solution can solve the...

A recent campaign by
Dorado
Software regarding network monitoring and bandwidth usage is
getting a good amount of attention.
Bandwidth hogs have been
around since there have been networks. Some high-bandwidth usage is
to be expected from most companies: software uploads and downloads,
data porting and other activities. The problem with bandwidth
arises when users begin oversubscribing to YouTube, Hulu and other
high-bandwidth streaming services - requiring a tighter application
of network...

In a recent post we covered a
Customer Success Story available on our website that
