WiscNet
Employs VisualRoute in Efforts to
Improve Service and Lower Costs
Explaining difficulties
associated with the Internet (such as slow
performance or inability to reach a particular
web site) was often a time consuming task
for both members and WiscNet technicians.
With any Internet connection, the root of
a slowdown or access problem could be at
the end-user location, in the intermediary
Internet routing or with the end-point destination-and
determining where the problem lies is the
first step of problem resolution. Using VisualRoute,
WiscNet members can now view results of traceroute,
ping and whois utilities in an easy-to-read
table.
University
of Texas Relies on VisualPulse to
Ensure Network Availability
The University of Texas
CTO is responsible for a number of enterprise
servers that the University depends on for
day-to-day operations and to support over
10,000 faculty and students. The University's
CTO has come to rely on VisualPulse to watch
the University's critical systems for any
sign of trouble. VisualPulse provides automated
monitoring and reporting of network device
availability, and provides automated alerts
to notify users of a potential problem.
Interwise
Improves On-Line Collaboration Services Delivery
with VisualPulse’ s Network
Availability Reporting
Offering on-line collaberation
services via the Internet makes it essential
for Interwise to closely monitor their network
performance and information technology (IT)
environment. One of the key tools they have
come to rely on to keep things running smoothly
is VisualPulse, the network availability
reporting tool that automatically monitors
critical network and IT infrastructure components,
including network devices, Web pages, servers
and application ports. VisualPulse's automated
traceroute capability logs connectivity information
for every routing hop whenever problems occur,
providing essential diagnostic information
for rapid problem analysis.
Tomorrow
River School District Utilizes VisualRoute to
Teach Internet Networking Concepts
WiscNet, a not-for-profit
Internet service provider (ISP), provides
services to more than 500 classrooms and
government organizations across Wisconsin
to one another and the world beyond. What's
unusual about WiscNet is that it provides
a free toolkit to its members in an effort
to help demystify how the Internet works
and provide more efficient technical support.
The flagship tool in the kit is VisualRoute,
which automatically determines precisely
when, where and how data is flowing between
two points on the Internet.
Police
Organizations Use VisualRoute for
Internet Crime Training
VisualRoute is the tool
of choice used by Police organizations for
training students in investigating Internet
crimes. Students use the tool to investigate
IRC (Internet Relay Chat), Instant Messaging,
World Wide
Web sites and the Usenet, and to interpret
E-mail Headers. The ease of use and
integrated design of the VisualRoute application
is the major reason for its integration into
the training courses.
University
of Texas Utilizes VisualRoute for
Networking and Internet Security Courses
VisualRoute has become a standard part
of the curriculum for both networking and security
courses at the University of Texas. As VisualRoute
provides a visual picture of an Internet
connection, instead of a series of numbers
that result from the more traditional networking
tools such as 'ping', students can see the
results drawn on a graph, together with the
actual route of an Internet connection. By
seeing the results of various network diagnostics
in one picture, students can more easily
interpret the results.
