Leading NJ-based Supplier of Data Processing Services to Fortune 1000
Companies is Using the Real-time Network Monitoring Software to Monitor Its
Mission Critical Servers
WASHINGTON CROSSING, Pa., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Ripple Technologies announced today that its RippleTech LogCaster real-time network monitoring utility for Windows NT has been adopted by DPF Data Services, a leading New Jersey-based supplier of data processing services to Fortune 1000 companies. The software is specifically installed on mission-critical Windows NT servers that DPF uses to support both its internal applications, and its growing customer base in the financial, pharmaceutical and other industries.
DPF's decision to adopt RippleTech LogCaster was driven by the company's rapid growth, and the resulting need for a software solution that would allow network management staff to automate the process of monitoring mission critical NT servers. While manual server monitoring was an adequate solution earlier in the company's history, once DPF began providing 24 hour/7 day and 365 days/year processing services on a contractual basis, it became obvious that these manual procedures would quickly become prohibitively expensive. After evaluating alternative NT monitoring solutions, DPF ultimately selected RippleTech LogCaster for its superior versatility, its ability to seamlessly integrate with NT servers, and its exceptional ease-of-use.
According to David Sitver, Director of Technical Services and Support for DPF Data Services, When we became contractually committed to providing 24/7 services on a year-round basis, we realized that it was absolutely critical for us to be able to continually and cost-effectively monitor our mission critical servers on a real-time basis to ensure maximum uptime. RippleTech LogCaster allowed us to feel very comfortable about making that 24/7 commitment to our customers, because it met or exceeded all of our expectations in terms of performance and reliability, and also featured a very friendly user interface that made it simple to implement and use.
"We view DPF Data Services adoption of RippleTech LogCaster as yet another important endorsement for this powerful NT network monitoring utility," said Ed Strobel, Vice President of Marketing for Ripple Technologies. "DPF's use of the software to support mission-critical servers committed to providing 24/7 processing performance clearly demonstrates that RippleTech LogCaster is without question a very dependable solution."
RippleTech LogCaster uniquely provides network administrators with the ability to screen out non-critical messages produced by the Windows NT "event log." Using this advanced filtering capability, administrators can save valuable time since they no longer need to sift through the volumes of messages that the NT event log routinely produces in order to find those of a critical nature. Instead, they can customize the filters for their particular system, select the warning and diagnostic messages that are important, and then eliminate those that are not important to the system. Moreover, the filters can be changed at any time as system requirements change and the priority given to different alerts changes. The versatile LogCaster can also monitor devices attached to the system such as printers and fax servers to ensure that the devices are online and operating properly.
