Audit Tools:

It’s nice to think you have your firewall, antivirus, acceptable use policy and SOE policy. Everything should be covered right? But how do you know if it’s really working?

Well there is no real silver bullet answer but you should at least be able to keep an eye on some of the basic things; like who has been logging on from home, when staff logged on, for how long staff logged on as well as whether anybody is attempting to gain access to your system, by guessing user names and passwords (Brute force attack).

To combat these issue Nexview Systems has developed an inexpensive way for supervisors, to proactively self manage access to their network. The Authentication Event Analyzer can generate a simple to understand audit report of login - log off and failed login activity. With a simple click the user can see who has logged in and out of their cooperate network. Say Tom Brown tried to log in 200 times at midnight last night, this could be a potential attacker trying to guess Tom’s password! Tom might also have logged on for 3 hours last night when he is supposed to be on holidays. This is just some of the valuable information that can be obtained with The Authentication Event Analyzer. This tool works best for organizations with a single Active Directory Domain Controller running Microsoft Terminal Services. However it can be easily adapted to various kinds of Network Topology on discussion with our Engineers.

Performance Reports:

NEXview Systems has created a robust performance monitoring framework using the built in tools of your Microsoft Windows Server. We offer our “performance monitor and baseline analysis suite”. This inolves our engineers monitoring key operational areas over a period of usage and producing a detailed analysis of your Servers performance. We then outline any anomalies and make recommendations. If server health is good and no further action is needed the report is used as a baseline for future reporting.

The performance monitors we base our reporting on are:

  • Hard Disk performance.
  • Processor performance.
  • Memory performance.
  • Network performance.

As a client you get a detailed picture of what your server is doing and how changes over time have impacted on load. This is laid out in a 10 page report with a graphical representation, explaining each of the above monitors in a simple, easy to understated language.  The biggest advantage being that when it's time to upgrade a particular server component e.g. more RAM, you have a performance evaluation justification, not just your network administrator's word to go by.

Management:

Remote Monitoring is a proactive, network monitoring service designed to identify any system errors prior to them interrupting a client's business operations.

Remote Monitoring checks for network and server faults, failures, and activity that exceeds established thresholds. As an example:

  • CPU utilisation on key servers.
  • Memory utlisation on key servers.
  • Hard disk capacity on key servers.
  • Average number of user connections.
  • Server error messages.
  • Running processes and Services.
  • Trends across key items such as CPU, RAM and Disk usage.
  • Email monitoring, Spam filtering.
  • Virus and spyware monitoring.
  • Secure content management.
