Wachovia Opts For Do-It-Yourself Network Management

摘要

As company networks grow more complex and more important to the success of a business, IT managers need to know more from their network- and systems-management applications than whether a router has failed or an app is faltering. They need to know how a downed router, server, or application affects critical business goals or service-level agreements—and how these problems affect users. That was the problem faced by Wachovia Corp.

So it built its own tool, which it will begin selling this week through a wholly owned subsidiary called Silas Technologies Inc.
