Where's the problem?:
►Network documentation
►Convergence:
► Integration of data, voice-, multimedia-application Voice-over-IP ready? …
►Network costs:►Insecurity with investments
►Expensive downtime
►Tedious troubleshooting
►Missing statistics about network-performance

Product ideas
Problems through convergent networks
► The planning needs specialists and is very complex
► SMBs often start with „trial and error“-concepts („Let's do it, then see what happens“)
► Data networks with SMBs are usually used without network management, i.e. there is no knowledge of possible bottlenecks and development
►There are products of many different manufacturers in a network
► Many diverse applications run on the network
► Convergent networks will be perceived as uncertainty

What is XNereus?
XNereus is a web-based platform for cost-efficient network monitoring
XNereus is a server appliance
XNereus is a Software system, that enables users to analyse interpret and report quality information within any convergent network-structures, based on standards.
XNereus is based on a hardened LINUX-system
XNereus places ITK-suppliers in the position to analyse their networks for Voice-over-IP-Readiness.

Assignments and advantages
Network analysis► Overview of network resources► Analysis of the network for suitability for
integrated network systems (VoIP + data + multimedia)► Measuring packet loss, delay, jitter and performance
Network monitoring► Regular network and system monitoring of operating systems,
servers, network printers, routers, switches, UPS
Reporting► Avoidance of ad-hoc-investments since the chinks
can be recognised early

Fast Configuration / AutoDruid
In case of selecting the network browsing the finishing time will be different.
After the search you see all systems were found. Grey deposed systems are already configured. Others systems must be selected.
Name resolution can be started with or after the search.
The results are displayed until you save them or you discard the output from the AutoDruid.

Monitoring
Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the current state of the network
and the resources via web-interface Overview of the current state as traffic light-display on the home page:
= Critical
= Warning
= OK

Which systems will be monitored?
Network components:
Switches, Router, Gateways, communication servers
(e.g. Netgear, Alcatel, HP, Cisco, Siemens) End devices:
PCs, servers, printers, voice-equipment
(e.g. Windows (2000 and 2003); LINUX, HP printer, devices
with SNMP (e.g. Siemens Open Stage, OptiPoint IP), Printserver) Applications:
(e.g. Webserver, Mailserver, telefone systems with SNMP like HiPath 2000, Omni PCX Enterprise)

Reporting
Reporting on the historical state of the resources: Graphical:
► Graphical display of the measured values in a time-lapse graph
Tabular:
► Tabular display of the availability and condition of the
resources
►Configuration of reports and automatic dispatch via e-mail as PDF, HTML or CSV
Alerting:► Dispatch of warning messages per e-mail, SMS and SNMP-Traps
to specified administrators or systems

Function description
Function description: XNereus is set up modularly, so that different
measuring methods can be added and combined. XNereus records the network performance of different services to
convergent fixed networks (LAN, MAN and WAN) XNereus records the network performance for different services in
mobile networks as well XNereus measures in both networks mentioned above through an
intelligent combination of active and passive procedures XNereus uses communication protocols to record the
functionality of communication services (FTP, HTTP, SIP, etc.)

Application description
XNereus offers:
Classical network monitoring through cyclic tests
Quality statements about network infrastructure through heuristical procedure depending on the TCP/IP-suite-specification
Collecting of all monitored data in an SQL database
Accessibility test and monitoring of special parameters through SNMP
Dispatch of Alarm messages
