The new software is a suite of non-intrusive tools that monitor and quantify bandwidth and traffic to provide CIOs, CTOs, CMO's and operations managers real-time insight of today's dynamic charge-back and pay-per-use models, increasingly important for both enterprises and hosting companies.

The software delivers increased visibility metrics of both resources and backend effectiveness in delivering streaming or downloadable products and content, enabling managers to quickly isolate and identify applications, servers, sites, and URL utilization to offer a key competitive benefit to redirect unused bandwidth to other IT resources, offer new services, or to correctly charge back each business unit for resource usage.
RTbandwidth(TM) is an intelligent, rules-based analysis tool that easily monitors bandwidth utilization in the largest and most complex enterprises. It does this by continuously providing a real-time profile on Internet, Intranet and Extranet traffic, effectively tracking bandwidth usage. Alert notifications are supported for any web site, application or business unit exceeding pre-set thresholds of bandwidth utilization. Trends are presented graphically through standardized and in user-defined reports using such features as the Executive Calendar function. All reports are accessible using any standard web browser.
"The problem with most monitoring tools is that they are cumbersome and require a ton of effort to get any results," stated Mr. Ko Ikudome, President of AuriQ Systems, Inc. "RTbandwidth(TM) can be installed and begin delivering real-time answers within minutes; so, a CIO can manage resources, bill projects and customers, and make informed decisions the same day RTbandwidth(TM) was installed."
Extending beyond pay-per-use and charge-back analytics, the RTbandwidth(TM) solution delivers performance statistics down to the level of each individual URL, website or application, allowing IT operations to isolate problems instantaneously when they occur and to take immediate action. Alert notifications are supported for any transactions exceeding pre-set thresholds response time.
RTbandwidth(TM) is also an effective, efficient tool for Quality of Service (QoS) analysis of networks and web sites. It provides quick overview reports, percentage charts, summary tables, graphs, or a combination thereof of successful requests versus requests ending with error. Drill down reports list the last application running prior to a server abort. All of these problem identification features are supported in real-time with e-mail alerts going to the appropriate support team to help resolve these issues before end-users are affected.
The new software provides a feature rich suite of tools, which is completely non-intrusive and works across all network and server platforms, including mixed platform configurations.
