Entuity Software from Park Place Technologies, is an integrated platform that eliminates the need for multiple point products, reducing complexity and lowering the total cost of ownership. It has a federated architecture that allows for seamless expansion, accommodating networks of varying sizes without compromising performance and includes a wide range of functions and capabilities, which we summarise below.
Automated Network Discovery continuously identifies and adds new devices to the network management system, ensuring an up-to-date inventory of network assets. Dynamic Network Topology Mapping provides comprehensive visibility of the network’s structure, both locally and globally, allowing users to drill down into individual devices and ports to identify issues. Advanced Event Management organizes network alerts into higher-level incidents, reducing event noise by up to 99% and enabling IT teams to focus on critical issues. Performance Monitoring and Asset Utilization delivers key metrics on asset utilization, helping identify over- and under-utilized resources to inform purchasing decisions based on actual network requirements. Configuration Monitoring and Management keeps track of configuration changes across devices, ensuring compliance and facilitating quick identification of unauthorized modifications. Flow Analysis and Application Path Monitoring offers detailed analysis of network traffic patterns and application paths, enabling the identification of bottlenecks that could affect performance. It provides very wide-ranging Multi-Vendor Support. This includes out-of-the-box support for thousands of devices from hundreds of vendors ensuring compatibility across diverse network environments. Intelligent Automation, in particular automated discovery and configuration, reduces manual intervention, increasing staff productivity and efficiency. A range of Customizable Dashboards and Reports provide tailored insights that enhance decision-making processes.
Entuity also provides multi-tenancy functionality. This enables MSPs to monitor multiple customer networks from a single installation, with data segregation ensuring clients view only their specific information
However, Entuity is more than just a traditional network management solution. While its core focus is on managing and monitoring network infrastructure, it offers additional features that extend its value beyond basic network oversight. Here’s why Entuity is more than just a network management solution:
It doesn’t just monitor networks in isolation – it connects network performance directly to the delivery of business services. By modelling network, server and storage resources in the context of the services they support, it helps IT teams ensure that network operations align with and enable broader business objectives. This makes it a strategic tool for organizations looking to improve service delivery and customer satisfaction.
Entuity provides detailed, customizable analytics and reporting tools. These go beyond operational metrics to deliver insights into resource usage, performance trends, and future capacity planning. This capability allows businesses to optimize their infrastructure and make informed decisions about growth and investment.
Unlike solutions that are limited to specific vendors, Entuity supports a wide range of network devices, servers and storage from hundreds of manufacturers. It also provides comprehensive visibility into hybrid environments that include both on-premises and public cloud resources. This capability makes Entuity a comprehensive tool for modern, diverse IT ecosystems.
Entuity is not a network security solution. But it does have functionality that helps organizations ensure that their network devices comply with security and regulatory requirements. It also tracks configuration changes and detects unauthorized modifications, helping IT teams maintain control over their network environments and meet audit requirements.
Its network traffic and application path monitoring functionality offers granular insights into network traffic patterns and application paths. This helps businesses identify bottlenecks and optimize the delivery of applications and services, which is crucial for organizations relying on high-performing applications.
