DORADO SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES REDCELL(TM) NETWORK COMMANDER FOR AUTOMATED NETWORK CONFIGURATION, CHANGE & COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Maintains the stability and availability of networks - reducing downtime and IT costs
FOLSOM, CA - August 13, 2008 - Dorado Software http://doradosoftware.com, a leading provider of IT infrastructure lifecycle management software, today announced the release of RedcellT Network Commander product which offers administrators automated network configuration, change and compliance management all in one integrated system. Redcell Network Commander, part of the Redcell 6.1 enterprise portfolio, enables administrators to easily and accurately deploy, configure and update network devices and services while adhering to internal, regulatory and security compliance standards. Redcell Network Commander ensures that a company's heterogeneous device infrastructure is correctly configured in order to maintain the stability and availability of its network - to meet businesses' needs.
"Maintaining the configuration of a distributed network is a time-consuming, laborious, and costly task that requires in-depth familiarity with all of the disparate devices from multiple vendors. Accuracy of network configurations is paramount for maintaining the availability and performance customers expect. Without some way to automate the process to ensure uniformity, errors can permeate network configurations and negatively impact customers, damaging SLAs and their businesses," explains Mike Grote, vice president product management at Dorado Software. "Redcell Network Commander can maintain the secure and dependable network service that business users demand."
Redcell Network Commander is targeted at administrators and managers and scales from SMB to enterprise operation centers. It automates the configuration process, cuts IT operations costs, reduces downtime and enables more time to be spent on high-value projects. Redcell Network Commander is a fully integrated add-on product to Redcell OpsCenter - the foundation for deep discovery, CMDB inventory and advanced monitoring of devices, interfaces, and services.
Compliance is the foundation of network stability, whether it is compliance to a company's internal IT policies, service agreements with customers, government regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, HIPPA, PCI, best practices such as NSA guidelines, or standards specific to an industry.
"Whenever an organization's network configuration is changed, the first question should always be: 'Is my network still compliant?' Redcell Network Commander has the power to deliver that knowledge to a company and even displays how to react. It has the capabilities to take a company through the complete lifecycle of configuration compliance, from setting policies through enforcement and restoration," stated Grote.
