“We are inserting new technologies into our environment, but have limited or no visibility into their status or performance.” |
Windward fills the gap through solutions to visualize and monitor new technologies in the data center and next generation networks. |
|
“We have not been able to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) because of the time required to identify the incident’s root cause.” |
Windward integrates advanced correlation software products to reduce alarms, quickly identify the root cause of incidents and automate resolution. |
|
“Our availability reporting approach is outmoded for our current services. We need a system that produces accurate metrics reflecting the customer experience.” |
Focusing on both systems and services, Windward delivers solutions that accurately measure and report availability based on actual service delivered. |
| "Our technicians understand when an outage has occurred; but there is too long a delay before our service desk, account reps and customers are notified." |
Prompt notification is often hampered by lack of automated service impact analysis. Windward implements solutions that determine service outages in real-time and notify all stakeholders. |

"When a significant network event occurs, it’s very difficult to quickly pinpoint the problem." |
It's very important to be notified that a significant event has occurred. It's more important to pinpoint the source of the problem by filtering the network noise by delivering solutions that identify the root cause. Windward implements systems that will discover topology and provide automated root cause detection at the network, but more importantly the application and service layer. |
