Mutiny - The Fifth Emergency Service For Business

If you’ve experienced problems with your company’s IT this year then you’ll know how time consuming, and costly, dealing with network related issues can be.

Unplanned IT downtime costs the typical SME upwards of £700 per hour in lost productivity. With the average company experiencing two hours of downtime a week, this means that, on average, a typical business will loose a whopping £72,800 per year due to IT failure!

In a bid to help companies cut unplanned IT downtime, network monitoring specialists, Mutiny Ltd, have launched an upgraded version of their dedicated appliance, aptly also called ‘Mutiny’.

The appliance has been designed with ease-of-use as the most important feature.

Mutiny monitors everything on your IT network. At its most basic level it will tell you how much disk, memory and CPU space you have to work with. At a more advanced level it will tell you whether key computer systems are likely to crash, while keeping track of data bottlenecks which could seriously hamper your businesses productivity.

Mutiny operates 24/7, keeping an eye on your network and foreseeing problems. The appliance’s SMS alerting capabilities mean that, before an I.T. issue arises, you, or any appointed person within your organisation, will be warned of potential problems. Mutiny gives you the information you need to deal with these issues BEFORE they cost your business in terms of resource and – most importantly – finance.

Mutiny is a ‘plug and play’ appliance. Most of the configuration has taken place off site, which therefore enables it to be installed and operational within half a day to a day, including staff training. As the appliance is so easy-to-use, training is minimal. 

Other features of the new appliance include:

·         Real-time monitoring of network interfaces on SNMP enabled devices
·         ‘Round-Robin’ databases for the storage of historical data
·         High speed SNMP-based discovery
·         A new “Connectivity Ignored” status to allow alert-free monitoring of workstations,
          laptops and other devices which are switched off from time to time
·         New remote agent for monitoring Windows Event logs
·         New graphical icons and a wider range of supported SNMP agents

Prices start at under £3,000.00. For further information on how Mutiny can work for your business – or to book a demonstration - please call 01453 840454 or visit the website www.mutiny.com

Notes to editors:

1. Mutiny traces its origins back to the University of Manchester where it was used to monitor services on the SuperJANET network. The company “Mutiny Limited” was spun out in 2001 to commercialise the product, which was formally launched in June 2002 at the Networks Telecom Exhibition. Mutiny’s unique selling point is that it is the only SNMP-based Network-Monitoring appliance, designed with ease-of-use as the most important feature. This means that it can be rapidly deployed on almost all types of network by people who require no specialist training.

2. Current Mutiny clients include: Panasonic Mobile, Red Bull Racing Team, The Football Association, Endsleigh Insurance and Focus DIY to name but a few.
