SaaSy

For all you network managers at SMB who struggle to centralize and simplify management, we might have a solution that will answer your prayers. Last month Netreo announced a new network management application that is SaaS-based (software as a service). This is the first SaaS network management product designed for SMBs, with all the bells and whistles associated with an enterprise-class product. Called OmniCenter OnDemand, it's based on the widely-deployed appliance-based OmniCenter technology and breaks significant new industry ground by delivering the features and tools of OmniCenter in an easily-deployed suite. This allowing SMBs to enjoy complete device management, configuration management, performance management and real-time fault management without having to purchase or install new hardware and software.

If you're an IT manager reluctant to implement a network management solution for fear of a workload spikeage, you owe it to yourself to check out Netreo. In addition, there should be an in-depth product review at Network Computing in early February.
