As the industrys first Intelligent Networking software solution, the Intelliden R-Series links network and IT resources with business priorities. The Intelliden R-Series provides seamless identification, analysis and resolution of systems and networking issues that can threaten the availability, security, provisioning and compliancy of business-critical network devices. The Intelliden R-Series software suite ensures business continuity via granular control of IP network devices. It notifies users, groups and other applications about device and network changes, while also identifying who did what to the network-where, when and why. Intelliden is able to prevent manual errors and intelligently roll back to an earlier configuration with a few keystrokes, saving both valuable time and money.
By abstracting the knowledge of every device and importing it into the Intelliden directory, the Intelliden R-Series is able to automate configuration requirements, accelerate service activation, increase network security, reduce operational costs and improve resource optimization. This business-driven approach is known as Intelligent Networking.
Based at the companys European headquarters in Richmond, Surrey, Ravi will report directly to Dale Hecht, President and CEO of Intelliden.
