Case Communications launches its network management platform

June 2007 – High Wycombe, England

Case Communications is proud to announce the launch of CaseView, its new network management software.

Designed to be highly flexible and very cost-effective, CaseView contains MIBS for Case Communications own products, and a wide variety of third-party products, such as Cisco, 3-Com and other less well-known vendors' products.

There are two versions of CaseView.

Workgroup Edition

This is the entry-level single-user version for managing small to medium-sized networks. All components run on a single system, and support one user. The map database is limited to 1,000 objects.

Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise edition is a base system for a scalable multi-user environment. The Enterprise Edition includes SNMPc server licence, One remote console licence and one remote poller licence. The system can be used simultaneously by two users, one at the server and one at another remote console system.

The enterprise edition also includes a remote access extension. It is a licence-only option, which allows an unlimited number of remote console users and remote polling agents. It also provides JAVA console support.

CaseView supports SNMP v1 and v2C and also SNMP v3 which is a secure SNMP agent protocol that provides authentication and privacy (encryption).

CaseView has the usual network management tools such as full graphical displays, the ability to upload and download device configuration data, and a reactive and pro-active status reporting system, with all events and performance data logged in the system. In the event of an alarm, SMS messages or e-mails can be sent to network engineers alerting them to the problem.

Management reporting allows the generation of management reports on network composition, inventory management and status etc.

Simon Harmonsworth, Director of the Case Communications Network Management Development team, said: "A network management system is no longer about just managing your own products. It's vital to manage those, but to also provide management of other vendors' products, and CaseView just does that."
