We use SAS Institute's IT Service Vision product. It does a great job of
managing lots of historical data with very little effort on your part. It
can produce webified reports, but will require some effort on your part
depending on what your reporting requirements are. The strength of ITSV is
that you can manipulate the data with a SAS program to do any kind of
statistical analysis you want: trending, forecasting, thresholding,
exception reporting, service level reporting, etc.

Subject: Programs for reporting
Hello,
We are currently running Netview 4.1, but the plans are for
Netview
5.1 under TME10 Framework. Can anyone suggest companion
programs (better it they were Tivoly-Ready programs but anything
else
would be fine also) in order to produce reports and statistics about
network utilization. We also want to keep historical data in order
to
produce reports about the network behavior in the long-term.
The network is consisted of Cisco products. We are currently
using
Mrtg, which is great for some purposes, but it doesn't do well with
historical data. The great thing with this product is that the
reports
can be read using a Web browser (html pages). Is there an analogous
package with analogous functionality and capability of managing
historical data?
Thank you,
Kostas Kottos
