I am extremely excited to tell you that our NetMRI 3.0 product has been released. The announcement was made last week, and already we have received more positive news coverage and feedback from our customers and the analyst community than any other previous release. And there is more buzz coming as I write this.
What excites me personally about this release is that the product looks so cool, yet makes problem avoidance and corrections so much easier to deal with. We spent this past year extensively usability testing the product, talking to analysts and to customers to identify what issues we should focus on. The results are truly amazing. We took nothing out of the product, added a whole bunch of new stuff, and then made it look very web 2.0-ish, very cool and very usable.
A sample of the new capabilities that I personally love include:
- Ability to see in a single web page the changes that are going on in the network, how the changes are impacting the network performance, and how they are impacting compliance/policies - all on the same page over time! You can also tell who is making what changes, when and where.
- Visual maps showing the network topology, but also a number of different pieces of
information on the same page, with the ability to add/remove
information. Now you don't have to sift through rows and columns of data. You can simply see the information visually.
- Wizard that guides you in creating policies. Using logical if/else/then type guide allows users to pick and choose from a library of rules to create their own policies.
... and there are lots more.
Best way to learn more is to take a look at the NetMRI 3.0 self-guided presentation.
Another reason for this post: I'd like to publicly thank our development team for an awesome job. You are the most creative and hardworking team I know. Thank you for making NetMRI truly great!
