CSN ANNOUNCES CYBER-ALERT WILL SHIP 4/1/97
West Hartford, CT March 12, 1997 - Client Server Networking (CSN) today is
announcing CYBER-ALERT will be begin shipping April 1, 1997.
Use of the Internet or a corporate Intranet is a golden opportunity to
instantaneously get needed information, share ideas and sell your products.
The success of the "net" endeavors depends on customer acceptance,
ease-of-use, and availability. Does your presence on the Internet or your
corporate Intranet provide the accessibility, availability and performance
needed to measure up to your expectations and strategies? Increasing numbers
of IS executives are looking for ways to document the cost and value of
Internet/intranet use.
To help you get those important facts, Cyber-Alert constantly monitors your
Internet and Intranet servers. Designed for simple installation on a single
OS/2 system with a TCP/IP connection to your net, it requires no other agents
or remote installation.
Mail, Web, FTP, News, Gopher and your custom socket servers are monitored for
availability. You may even ping any node to simply check viability.
Continually updated graphics provide a visual display of availability. By
checking those servers at regular intervals and logging responses, you can
finally know what's going on and intelligently solve or understand performance
or availability concerns.
Monitoring is not just a Ping but a connection is made to each server with a
request for service. This connection and request for service provides for
statistics to analyze performance. The optional Log and analysis program
provides for a review of each server by graphing and printing performance for
connection and data transfer. Node performance data may be exported to your
favorite spreadsheet or data base.
Cyber-Alert provides user exits for successful or failed connections. A sample
exit in REXX provides a simple Web server allowing you to remotely query
Cyber-Alert for all your server status. These exits provide a facility to
automate recovery procedures.
Any detected server failure will provide a notification via SMTP Mail and/or
make a phone call to your pager. You'll never need a user call to know a
server is down!
CYBER-ALERT is an OS/2 program and requires an Internet or Intranet connection
and the installation of TCP/IP.
