UK Network management software manufacturer Chevin, has today announced a series of free seminars aimed at IT professionals entitled “Network Management Made Easy!” planned for April 2002 in London, Manchester and Nottingham. Following a detailed research project by the independent analyst firm the NSS Group on the provision of network management within businesses, Chevin has designed a series of seminars to help organisations understand the importance of network management within their IT strategy and how to plan for business continuity.

According to Koby Amedume, Vice President of Marketing, Chevin, “ Following the revealing report by network analysts, the NSS Group, Chevin has identified a real need for education within a broad section of business for implementing network management.” He added, “Many companies rely on their network infrastructure for business continuity and performance delivery in supporting internal and external customers, yet they don’t always have a strategy for managing this important resource! We aim to provide a free of charge service in the form of these seminars to help Network managers with their planning for such contingencies”

Chevin promises a jargon free programme with practical advice for assuring network availability, business continuity and return on investment. Focusing on both the IT / Network manager’s needs to understand the key issues surrounding network management, the seminars will look at the all-important ‘five levels’ of network management.

Keynote speaker at the seminars will be independent Network Analyst, Steve Broadhead, CEO of the NSS Group based in France. Broadhead added, “For too long Network management has been seen as a kind of ‘Black Art’. Our aim is to bring a strong level of understanding to a wide audience of business managers as well as the technical staff.”

The full seminar programme is available from the company’s website http://www.chevin.com.

Chevin’s flagship product TeVISTA is designed to provide a fully detailed view of network performance for geographically dispersed networks. TeVISTA is extraordinary because it

provides total visibility of everything on a network in real time by gathering information from the ‘wire’ without relying on polling devices on the network. By using this intelligent method of seeking information, TeVISTA is able to provide detailed knowledge about critical features of network activity, which can affect network performance such as, bandwidth utilisation, number of broadcasts and multicasts, number of conversations taking place on the network and the number of protocols being used.

“This seminar programme is proving extremely popular amongst our target audience and spaces are filling up fast, which goes to prove that there is a great need for network management education within the marketplace.” Said Amedume
