Netcordia Satisfies the Call for NCCM with a New “Bill of Health”

ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Netcordia, the company that’s automating Network Change & Configuration Management (NCCM), today introduced a group of pre-packaged reports in a new compliance portfolio.

“Our customers need this insight – and fast”

NetMRI 2.4 tackles the biggest challenges of NCCM: How can network administrators reliably identify potential problems and incompatibilities on the network – and correct them automatically in real-time?

This newest version of Netcordia’s flagship offering gives administrators actionable insight into critical performance benchmarks detailing system changes, configuration flaws, and compliance mandates including PCI, SOX and HIPAA – along with an overall health ‘report card.’

All the reports are ready to use out of the box, and automatically integrate performance information from any vendor’s devices. Netcordia, used by more than 250 enterprises, is highly regarded for its vendor-agnostic and holistic approach to NCCM, and its built-in analytics and tools for automating corrective action.

Compliance Key: Discovery and Network Health

The new reports specialize in compliance reporting for PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and GLBA, with data on every change, as well as who initiated it. Any configuration change can have significant implications for network performance.

Netcordia’s improved reports highlight:

• PCI to demonstrate full compliance, and call out any risky areas
• Asset Inventory to ensure full monitoring of all devices
• Configuration Policy to monitor compliance and any deviation from best practices
• Change Audit to track small and large changes made anywhere on the network and highlight potential conflicts; this also streamlines roll-backs, if changes need to be undone
• ISO 27002, the standard-setter for Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and GLBA compliance
• Default Credentials which defines standards and best practices for each device

Network Health Report Card: Are You a ‘10’?

Two reports on network health spotlight all of the key performance indicators – and give users a real 1-to-10 performance ranking, with detail on which components are sub-par, including: security, VoIP, wireless, devices, subnets, routing, interfaces, configuration and VLANs.

“Our customers need this insight – and fast,” said Don Pyle, CEO of Netcordia. “The risks of faulty management are unacceptable: to users, and to compliance officers.”
