Innovative point tools may address one aspect of this process, but their value is reduced when they cannot be integrated into a cohesive system. Event - aggregating and sorting through an event stream to identify the most pressing problems. Functional - management tools activate each other to build automated management processes Many solutions barely integrate their management data. Functional integration is even more of a rarity today. Functionally integrating a set of management tools leverages their individual capabilities and significantly reduces staffing demands.
Automated processes handle more tasks, relieving overburdened staff for other productive work.
This paper discusses a functional integration effort by RiverSoft and Freshwater Software that delivers higher customer value. The products are described and the integration is discussed with accompanying value demonstrations. RiverSoft Fault Manager Fault Manager is RiverSoft's initial interventionless network management product. Therefore, Fault Manager was created to provide the infrastructure management solutions needed to build guaranteed dynamic service delivery systems. For example, Fault Manager uses an automatic discovery function that continually detects changes.
