VisualRoute ® Features
Comparison |
| VisualRoute includes sophisticated technology to easily test connection performance from remote locations to quickly identify and resolve remote connectivity problems. | |
| VISUALROUTE FEATURES | |
| TEST CONNECTIVITY FROM REMOTE LOCATIONS & REVERSE TRACING | |
| Test connectivity from multiple
built-in test server locations • Business, SupportPro • Server Standard, Server Pro, Server NOC |
Select from various Visualware testing server locations,
such as San Jose, California USA, Ashburn Virginia
USA and London UK, to test connectivity to your servers
or network devices. This capability provides additional testing points to help identify network routes and network providers causing poor performance. |
| A single-user browser enables 1
remote user at a time to access the VisualRoute Server
to test connectivity from
the server to another location • Business, SupportPro |
The VisualRoute Server connectivity test and PingGrapher
tests are Java applets that are easily accessed via
a web browser. The built-in web server allows a single
user to access the VisualRoute Server remotely to run
connectivity tests from the server to other network
addresses. This capability enables IT staff to run connectivity tests from the server while at home or other locations. |
| Support staff can test
connectivity from remote offices or customer computers
to another location, view results at the
VisualRoute desktop • SupportPro |
The SupportPro Edition enables support staff to test
connectivity in both directions: to/from the VisualRoute
desktop and to/from remote systems. This capability provides visibility to connectivity problems that occur in one direction only, such as from the customer location to your server -- problems that are otherwise very difficult to pinpoint without imposing on the customer or traveling to the remote location. The SupportPro Edition makes reverse tracing a quick and easy process. |
| A single-user browser enables 1
remote user at a time to access the VisualRoute Server
to test connectivity from
the server to another location • Business, SupportPro |
The VisualRoute Server connectivity test and PingGrapher
tests are Java applets that are easily accessed via
a web browser. The built-in web server allows a single
user to access the VisualRoute Server remotely to run
connectivity tests from the server to other network
addresses. This capability enables IT staff to run connectivity tests from the server while at home or other locations. |
| A single-user browser enables 1
remote user at a time to access the VisualRoute Server
to test connectivity from
their computer or from the server view results
in the VisualRoute server browser • SupportPro |
The SupportPro Edition enables a single user at a
time to test connectivity in both directions via a
browser: to/from the VisualRoute Server applet and
to/from remote systems. This capability enables support staff to provide a limited ‘self-service’ portal, allowing a remote user to perform connectivity tests in multiple directions and view results in the browser. |
| A multi-user browser provides remote
users access the VisualRoute Server via a browser
to test connectivity from
the server to themselves or another location • Server Standard, Server Pro, Server NOC |
The VisualRoute Server connectivity test and PingGrapher
tests are Java applets that are easily accessed via
a web browser. This allows you to provide connectivity
test services that end-users and IT staff can easily
access to test connections from your server to themselves
or to other locations. This capability enables multiple remote users to to run connectivity tests from the server to themselves or other locations. With the Server Pro and Server NOC Editions, the test results are automatically stored in a server-side database for review and analysis by IT staff. |
| OnDemand™ NTAs perform
connection tests from remote locations • SupportPro* • Server Pro, Server NOC |
The OnDemand NTA is a small easy to
use agent that enables support staff to perform quality
and performance connectivity tests from one or more
remote locations. This provides quick visibility to
last mile connection problems encountered by a customer
or remote office. Once an NTA is created, it can be published for easy activation by any remote customer using a simple web download, or other convenient methods of delivery such as email. Once the NTA is activated on a remote system, support staff can initiate connectivity tests from that system. Connectivity tests can be managed and run by IT staff, or to enable a ‘self-service’ portal, allowing multiple remote users to perform connectivity tests in multiple directions and view results in the browser. With the Server Pro and Server NOC Editions, the test results are automatically stored in a server-side database for further review and analysis by support staff. |
| AutoTime™ NTAs perform
continuous connection performance testing from multiple
remote offices and customer locations • Server NOC |
The AutoTime NTA (network test agent)
automatically performs continuous connectivity tests
from remote locations such as a remote office or customer,
collecting connectivity performance and quality data
at predefined intervals. This allows network administrators to automatically measure to connectivity performance of specific network segments, results are logged to a central database on the web server for review and analysis. The continuous testing and data collection over extended periods provides visibiility to performance patterns and trending. NTAs can be deployed in multiple strategic locations throughout a global enterprise network to continually measure and report on the capacity and quality of vital connections. |
| Publish NTAs to
a URL for easy access and download by remote users • SupportPro* • Server Pro, Server NOC |
The Publish NTA option automatically creates a web URL, providing a quick and easy method for remote users to download a NTA you have created. Selecting run from the download request quickly installs and activates the NTA. | STANDARD FEATURES |
