ActionPacked! Networks releases LiveAction 1.8 for even faster troubleshooting of complex network problems
New software release includes multi-vendor support, enhanced flow reporting and data filtering, expanded IP SLA testing, and full hop-by-hop routing path visualization.
HONOLULU, HI, December 1, 2009 – ActionPacked! Networks, a developer of software that provides intelligent, all-in-one visual interaction and control of network devices, today announced the release of LiveAction 1.8 software for visually based, control and configuration of networks and network devices.
“LiveAction Version 1.8 is our most significant software to date with many new enhancements that will accelerate and streamline network engineering workflows and troubleshooting,” said Nelson Kanemoto, founder of ActionPacked! Networks. “For example, we have now expanded our monitoring capabilities to include routers that use sFlow and Juniper Networks J-Flow. This integrates both Cisco and non-Cisco devices into LiveAction’s interactive topology views for deeper understanding and faster troubleshooting of these devices.”
With the new software release, ActionPacked! Networks also revamped the company’s popular flow tracking and analysis capabilities to include more advanced data filtering and reporting and increased the detail and scalability of its long term historical capture and playback. Other enhancements include instant “point-and-click” filtering of flows and creation of access control lists (ACLs), auto-discovery and assessment of new network devices, a complete set of Cisco IP SLA tests, on-line web-based reporting, and full hop-by-hop routing path tracking with topology visualizations and analysis.
“Like our earlier versions, all of these new features automatically and continuously correlate with each other to provide a single unified and highly efficient environment for IT engineers. This all-in-one approach accelerates network design, configuration and troubleshooting dramatically and greatly enhances the engineer’s awareness and understanding of the network,” Kanemoto said.
LiveAction software, which operates on a standard Windows PC or server, creates a highly accurate, real-time visual model of the network that IT engineers can use to monitor and control QoS, network flows, routing, and IP SLA. The software’s intelligent knowledgebase provides a high level of visibility and awareness of what is happening inside the network and ensures that configuration changes made using LiveAction are correct before deploying them to the routers.
A free 14-day trial version of LiveAction 1.8 can be downloaded from the ActionPacked! web site. Permanent licenses and upgrades to earlier versions are also available now from ActionPacked! Networks and all authorized ActionPacked! resellers.
