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...

Remember that old adage about "the only constant in the
universe is
change?" Well one of the great things about working at
a software company is - and in the
network infrastructure management space to be exact - is that
this industry is
change on steroids.
Case in point: one of our global strategic partners,
Symantec. Not too long ago Symantec acquired Altiris, which is
why for awhile we called that component of our software the
"Symantec-Altiris" solution. After awhile people...

Service
Providers are constantly looking for ways to speed
delivery to market without compromising quality.
Automation is the only way to effectively accomplish this task.
Manual solutions and CLI are labor intensive and error prone which
results in lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction.
A single system to
automate repeatable processes not only makes the fulfillment
process significantly quicker but also
eliminates costly
errors. But it can't stop there. Once services are
deployed,...

New Redcell "Synergy" Version 7: The Powerful New Tool To
Manage Your Network Infrastructure
One of the amazing things about working in the field of
network management software is the constant state of change.
We're not talking about "gee, it's raining today so I better wear a
jacket" type of change. We're talking break-neck, full-throttle
adaptation to changes in
carrier
ethernet,
mobile backhaul and
Long Term Evolution (LTE) for service provider
environments.
So it's no surprise that our...

"Software as a Service." "Cloud computing."
"Virtualization." By now we're probably all-too
familiar with the terms of the day. But with regards to
converging IT technologies - routers, switches, media gateways,
media servers, etc - as we ride this technology wave we can
sometimes we can miss the forest for the trees. The reality is,
technological miracles are happening every hour of every day.
Tonight, we'll see the latest entry:
IBM's
Watson Supercomputer will take on Jeopardy champions...

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
high-speed electrical network that connects The Boeing Laboratory
Network and real-time...

There's a new/old movement in the air: that
of the
Venerable Art of the
Urban Ninja. While watching one of these maestros of movement
on YouTube referred to me thru Facebook (yes, they really do pay
people for that) I was struck by the similarities between Redcell
and what these guys do. Witness the Urban Ninja contemplating his
environment. Does this remind you of a network administrator
contemplating change?
Being nimble, fast and accurate is important to
both Urban Ninjas and Network...

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...

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...

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...
