“Network Intelligence On-Demand”



An essential part of maintaining peak performance of a network, all of the time, is always having a clear “big picture” view of what’s happening, and being able to dive down and get meaningful details on-demand.  Most network equipment provides reams of IP packet statistics, but they’re useless without processing.  Scripts help, but don’t change the underlying limitations of dealing purely with IP packet data, and may not provide the right information to identify problems during time-constrained troubleshooting efforts.

What’s needed is “anywhere and anytime” access to new sources of network data.  That’s where iView comes in.  iView leverages the best DNS software and services in the world to provide network intelligence, a completely new view of your network created from intelligent processing of DNS data.  With iView you can immediately see what web destinations or services end users are accessing, rather than dealing with columns of IP addresses.  iView really shines during periods of extreme traffic or attacks when you need real time information the most.  With a couple of clicks it’s possible to gather information about bot activity to understand what is happening immediately.  Performance and application trends (email, web, etc) not visible directly in the DNS can also be observed.

iView takes advantage of purpose-built data processing facilities (for data aggregation, filtering, and aging) in an advanced layered architecture implemented on top of leading Vantio software.  Since most DNS systems produce literally billions of events per day, embedded data processing is crucial to avoid overwhelming downstream systems.  iView also incorporates external data sources before critical network intelligence is presented through the powerful user interface available via a standard web browser or on your iPhone or Android-based mobile phone.  You get an intuitive, information-rich view into your network, with navigation across services that is readily accessible at any level of detail, when and where you need it.

iView is offered as a Hosted Network Service. Nominum manages everything on our Global Network so you get secure access to network intelligence for your network 24 x 7 from anywhere in the world, with no operational headaches.
