With all the changes that took place across the business landscape over the past several months, managing IT networks has become increasingly difficult and complex. IT teams that were already stretched thin are now having to do even more with fewer resources.
To ensure businesses and employees can continue to function efficiently, having an agile and reliable network management solution is vital. IT professionals need complete control and visibility over their networks so they can spot potential issues and respond quickly to keep them from becoming bigger problems.
Unfortunately, not every network management solution provides the kind of visibility, flexibility, control, and support needed to keep modern networks running safely and smoothly.
Many network management solutions can be difficult to use and lack an intuitive, easy-to-use that gives network managers all the information they need at their fingertips. Instead of one comprehensive control center where managers can easily discover issues and quickly resolve problems, users are often required to search through several different tabs or programs in order to find and resolve problems.
This not only creates stress and frustration for network managers, but it also means that critical problems can go undiscovered and unresolved until it’s too late.
Worst of all, when you need help from your solution provider, by the time you actually get the help you need, the problem has already escalated.
Complete visibility
Auvik is an easy-to-use, cloud-based network management solution built for the needs of today’s modern networks.
As more devices connect to workplace networks from a variety of different places including homes, coffee shops, coworking spaces, and more, IT managers need to know exactly what’s connected to their network and what it’s doing.
Auvik helps your IT team gather a full picture of your network in minutes, with automated mapping, inventory, and documentation of every device connected. And as it evolves, Auvik keeps your network information up to date, so you always know what’s going on.
As devices age or become less secure, Auvik can also show when it’s time to upgrade or replace them. Don’t let some of your legacy, outdated machines that you didn’t even know were out there become potential issues for your network.
Auvik also gives you deep insights into exactly what the traffic on your network looks like. You can quickly identify which applications are more critical to your business and even see where the traffic is going once it leaves your network.
Robust monitoring and prevention
One of the key aspects of avoiding network downtime is to spot potential issues before they happen. Auvik begins monitoring your network the moment it’s deployed and has more than 50 pre-configured alerts to let you know as soon as an issue is detected. You can tweak the pre-configured alerts, add more, adjust the notification frequency and more to best suit your setup.
When an issue is discovered, Auvik helps you get to the root cause of the problem so you can work quickly to get things back online and enact safeguards to prevent it from happening again. And all the data collected on your network is stored for years so you can always go back and review past data to better plan for network upgrades in the future.
With more employees working remotely, IT managers can have more insight into how your VPN provider is protecting your colleagues. You can instantly see how many devices are logged in through your VPN right from the dashboard, saving you countless hours of manually collecting individual device information.
Cloud-based management
The rise of cloud-based solutions has made managing IT infrastructure easier than ever. Auvik lives in the cloud, which means users get all the benefits of a cloud-based system without having the hassle of handling it all themselves and managing an on-prem solution.
That means automatic platform features and security updates, completely hands-free maintenance, and complete AES-256 network encryption, are all handled by Auvik. For IT teams with limited resources, this is often the most efficient, and safest way to manage networks.
Auvik’s cloud-based management also means you have up-to-date device configurations with a complete history of all configs and the ability to restore settings quickly and easily.
In a world of hybrid working, having a cloud-based system gives IT teams the ability to access Auvik from anywhere, letting them manage the network no matter where they may be.
