whitepaper Application Visualization for Enterprise Network Performance Management: The Big Picture in High Definition2006-08-22 11:57:59 NetScout Systems
  The enterprise Network Operations Center (NOC), like the overall IT Operations Group, is undergoing an evolution. The volume of data, number of applications, breadth of systems and servers have become challenging to manage by the integrated NOC, as they are tasked to reduce Mean Time to Repair, increase availability of mission critical networked applications, and provide a seamless transition escalation of problem-solving - with reduced resources - manpower, vendor tools, and budget. To achieve these lofty goals, integrated solutions for IT Operations have had to evolve as well. A complete solution for performance management in the network operations center now needs to include three essential elements: an automated early warning system, an application aware enterprise-wide monitoring and analysis solution, and an affordable deep capture and packet analysis tool. With its technologically superior performance management solutions, NetScout Systems has maintained a leading position in this evolution. This paper will demonstrate how the nGenius Performance Management System, serving as the application aware enterprise-wide monitoring and analysis solution, delivers a sophisticated mix of continuous application monitoring and response time analysis to pinpoint network problems and degradations, identify trends, reduce troubleshooting time, and ensure that applications are performing within prescribed responsiveness levels.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Using Built-In Diagnostics in Windows Vista (Level 200)2006-08-04 01:00:11 Microsoft
  Windows Vista can self-diagnose a number of common problems, including failing hard disks, memory problems, and networking issues. Built-in Diagnostics is a feature that provides information that can help IT professionals solve many issues that cannot be resolved automatically. Whenever Windows Vista detects a potential problem, it raises an event. This webcast explains how one can use these events to monitor the behavior of desktops in the organization, or to troubleshoot problems that cannot be resolved automatically.
