OmniCenter Enterprise includes the following features:

• Flow-based (Netflow, sFlow, J-flow) in-depth traffic analysis without the hassles and expense of deploying probes
• Virtualization Dashboard - provides in-depth visibility into VMWare environments, host and guest resources, detailed historical reporting, and guest system movement alerts and logs, all without agents •Web Application Response Time monitoring provides tools to measure and visualize the performance of any web application
• Datacenter Dashboard is designed to help control data center costs, consolidate resources, assist in virtualization planning, and set, measure, and achieve power consumption goals.
• OmniCenter Voice provides cost-effective and easy-to-deploy management and troubleshooting for IP Telephony environments.

OmniCenter Flow

OmniCenter® Flow™ is a Netflow-based network traffic analysis solution that seamlessly integrates with Netreo's OmniCenter® Enterprise product. Like all OmniCenter® products, it is designed to be cost-effective, easy-to-deploy, and simple to use and administer.

OmniCenter Flow provides:

• Immediate visibility into top users, applications, and conversations
• In-Depth reporting and search capabilities
• Long-term trend visibility with 3 years of stored history
• User-customizable application reports
• Easy administration and low overhead
• Centralized reporting with no probes to install

OmniCenter Flow allows IT managers to quickly gain complete visibility into network traffic patterns to improve and tune infrastructure architecture, better allocate network resources or costs, monitor traffic volumes and more.

OmniCenter Flow provides clear visibility into actual, user and application-level network traffic, allowing IT managers to make informed decisions about network management and resource allocation.

OmniCenter Flow includes a long list of default application definitions, and users can further define custom applications by multiple criteria, allowing complex applications to be easily visualized. Users can gain instant access to visual reports of top applications, sites, subnets, interfaces, conversations and user traffic volume.

OmniCenter Virtualization Dashboard

In a virtual server environment, host resource and performance issues are no longer isolated to a single application or department, and tracking down these problems has become even more complex and time consuming. OmniCenter Virtualization Dashboard provides deeper visibility into the virtual server environment, with detailed real-time and historical information about host systems and the guests that run on them. IT Managers can now see exactly which guest systems are using host resources and quickly identify resource hogs or systems that are creating performance issues.

OmniCenter Virtualization Manager provides full support for all commercial versions of VMWare, including vSphere 4, Infrastructure, and ESX 3.x and 2.x, without installing expensive and hard-to-manage probes or agents. Free versions of VMWare (such as VMWare Server and ESXi) lack the required management APIs for support. Any guest OS is supported, including Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/2008, and Linux.

OmniCenter provides instant visibility deep into the resource utilization of the host system, providing a virtualization dashboard that summarizes all the hosts at a site in a single consolidated view. This allows administrators and engineers to quickly see which guest systems are driving host resource utilization, and instantly identify the cause of any bottlenecks or slowdowns.

Real-time, scheduled, and historical reports are available to show the aggregate resource usage broken down by individual guest systems, quickly identifying troublesome systems that are affecting application performance. Virtual host details can also be placed on user-defined dashboards for a truly custom view into your environment.

OmniCenter can also instantly identify the guests running on a host system, or tell an administrator which host system is currently hosting a particular guest. It also provides real-time notification and historical reports for guest migrations, whether planned or dynamic. This allows historical performance statistics to be put into perspective and helps to identify application-impacting problems.

OmniCenter Web Application Response Time Monitor

OmniCenter Web Application Response Time Monitor (Web ART) is designed to allow IT organizations to get a realistic view of user experience and easily identify the source of performance slowdowns.

OmniCenter Enterprise includes Web ART functionality that integrates multiple data sources into a simple web-based dashboard to provide an instant view into detailed application performance, both locally and from around the enterprise WAN, without installing expensive and hard-to-manage probes.

OmniCenter Web Application Response Time Monitor Lets you:

• Integrate multiple data sources into a simple web-based dashboard.
• Configure complex multi-part web transactions, including multipart forms and authentication, and benchmark each step individually.
• Integration with Traffic Data to view detailed statistics about the application traffic, including top clients and servers,protocol and port breakdowns, real-time connection statistics, and per-site application volume.
• Dynamically measure the time required for each step in accessing your web application from your remote sites.
• Identify your Application Bottlenecks - Easily

OmniCenter DataCenter Dashboard

OmniCenter® DataCenter Dashboard is designed to help control data center costs, consolidate resources, assist in virtualization planning, and set, measure, and achieve power consumption goals.

Measure Power Utilization and Control Costs

Using DataCenter Dashboard, you can get accurate, real-time measurement of your IT power consumption, even without installing smart power distribution units. OmniCenter uses an advanced algorithm to compute power utilization based on system performance metrics and provides rack-by-rack power statistics over time, total power usage statistics, and the ability to set power consumption goals and measure your progress towards them. Detailed reporting of power usage on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, including peakhour utilization, is included. DataCenter Dashboard also includes the ability to set realtime alerts for power consumption or temperature thresholds.

DataCenter Dashboard also allows you to control power on your networked servers remotely, allowing under-utilized servers to be powered down during periods of inactivity and powered up when needed, without installing complex or expensive agent software or hardware controls on every system. Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP/UX and AIX are supported on most server hardware platforms.

Make Smart Virtualization Decisions

Identifying candidate systems for virtualization and completing a successful migration into a virtual host shouldn't be left to chance. Many organizations waste significant time and resources attempting virtualization projects that ultimately have to be redone due to simultaneous resource requirement incompatibilities, but they lack the concrete data required to make informed decisions.

DataCenter Dashboard includes idle-server reporting, to instantly identify under-utilized server resources that are candidates for virtualization, and provides a consolidation advisor to view sophisticated 'what-if' reports that show the projected results for combining systems into a single virtual host platform. This unprecedented visibility allows you to make well-informed decisions about your virtual server architecture based on empirical, measured data, increasing your chances of success and saving many hours during deployments.

OmniCenter Voice

Provides in-depth visibility to all components of a Voice infrastructure, including voice mail, station sets, gateway, and server resources, displaying them all on a single “pane-of-glass”. This enables automatic identification of under-performing links and devices, real-time call quality tracking, and overall capacity planning. Call quality information can be determined via Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and R-Factor values from either actual or simulated Voice-over-IP traffic, allowing detection of potential voice-quality problems even before users perceive a problem.

Real-time status and alerts are displayed in the OmniCenter Voice web interface, and may be forwarded via virtually any alerting mechanism (email, pager, etc.) to the appropriate department or personnel for immediate attention. All historical trending data - such as uptime, performance, exceeded-threshold, and application availability - is archived for reporting purposes. Reporting options include ad-hoc, pre-configured, custom, and automated.
