With WatchTower®, IT organizations get single pane of
glass visibility into the performance and availability of
up to tens of thousands of network nodes in a fraction of
the time and at a fraction of the cost it would take other
monitoring tools.

- Includes event de-duplication and operator instruction links to relevant documentation to resolve issues faster
- Includes automated topology mapping and root cause outage
analysis driven from one or more topology maps to suppress
non-critical alerts and avoid alarm storms
- Alerts can include links to over 3,600 embedded technical books including all publications from O'Reilly Books, Addison Wesley, Cisco Press, Microsoft Press and others to enable administrators to rapidly research and resolve performance issues
- Thresholds can be created based on any SNMP data or algebraic expression
- Notification emails can be customized using substitution parameters for variable information
- Historical graphing of key performance statistics such as CPU, memory, File I/O and more is available for one year
- Real-time graphing of performance statistics is available every 10 seconds to troubleshoot incidents and problems
- Service levels are automatically maintained and viewed by category or service with outage calendars to keep SLAs and MTTF, MTTR and MTBF statistics accurate
- Provides extensive visualizations of performance information on geographic, topology and facilities maps
- Includes asset management, visualization, document management and problem resolution capabilities otherwise requiring additional expenditures
- Offers High Availability, security with SNMPv3, and integration to SIM offerings for one portal visibility into everything going on in your IT infrastructure
