EYE NPE gathers detailed device specifics down to the serial number, IOS versions and more-far deeper details than typical network operations applications. EYE NPE provides a full range of performance management capabilities that put network administrators in control. Threshold alerts can be set to proactively watch for events that are generated for immediate follow-up preventing service interruptions.

As networks grow and incorporate next-generation technology, it is imperative to be able to quickly sort through and determine actual causes of fault. Root cause analysis delivers resolution times that are paired down to minutes rather than hours of manual troubleshooting activities.
