Imagine a world where everyone sees only what they need or want to
see. Everyone enjoys a good view, especially one of their own
choosing. Having the "right" view can inspire creativity, make a
difficult task more pallatable, and even expedite the completion of
a task. It is also true that eliminating the clutter in any view
lets the viewer see things more clearly, and thereby bring what's
important into focus.
These are some of the capabilities Dorado Software has included in
its release of...

"
Collaboration" is a big buzz-word these days
- but what exactly does it mean? Along with the word "cloud," this
is probably one of the most talked-about - but least understood -
concepts in the tech world today.
Network management
personnel in both the
Enterprise
and
Service
Provider spaces are all wanting to get a piece of the
efficiency, problem-solving ability and cost savings that
collaboration provides. At the same time, there are vendors out
there making promises and claims that are...

One of the awesome things about working with
network infrastructure management software is that we can see
our products produce real results in the real world! And one of the
most gratifying things in any business is seeing continued, happy
customers. In that regard, we'd like to express our appreciation to
Boeing.
In 2008 Dorado Software was honored to be
chosen by Boeing Advanced Systems to manage a

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...

In a recent post we covered a
Customer Success Story available on our website that
highlighted Dorado Software’s ability to gain control of an
enterprise IT network, including network monitoring, network
management and network traffic analysis.
There’s another

to provide similar successes in a service provider solution. You

In
a world where we're quickly embracing facebook instead of class
reunions, instant messages instead of phone calls, and streaming
videos instead of book learning a
virtual eventor tradeshow is the future of industry networking. Besides,
its just plain fun. You can connect with peers you never
would've had a chance to get infront of. There's easy,
on demand access to keynotes, technical sessions and documention
all on a social network platform. All the best features of a
physical event from...

In an earlier post we announced the release of
Dorado’s
Redcell V6 Service Studio. In this post we briefly drill down
into the Discovery aspect of V6 Service Studio and it's
contribution to Dorado's enterprise network monitoring
software.
In a nutshell, Service Studio Discovery enables our customers and
partners to quickly and effectively define and implement tasks to
discover pre-existing services from the network or other sources
such as device configuration files. This also permits...

automated remediation including event, configuration, service level
and security management in an unattended environment. This helps

When it's time to invest in a
network
monitoring and/or
network management system, one of the first questions to arise
is, "will I need to manage a network with elements from multiple
vendors, or is my network equipment going to be all from one single
vendor?"
The answer is usually - you guessed, it - both! "We need a network
management system that needs to seamlessly blend our legacy systems
into whatever is the hot new upgrade (or even more frequently, the
necessary infrastructure investment...
