I'm working with a customer now who has such a setup, with multiple
management consoles rotating on it (Netview, mainframe stuff, others...soon
to be TEC). I see this as a value on a temporary basis, just as I see the
normal Netview console; it serves as a good way for operations folks to
notice when devices and links are down. I say temporary, though, because I
believe the real answer is to remove the dependence on people to see and
act, by either automating actions within Netview, or using something like
TEC. Automate corrective action, page people, email people, open trouble
tickets, etc. - something to make sure people are aware of the problem.

Subject: Netview on a large screen display
This is a non technical question for the group. Our helpdesk has requested
that we set up a largescreen display that would display the Netview map so
the help desk people would be able to see when a network node turned red.
the question is simply , has anyone out there tried this type of setup ,
and was it of any benefit?
thanks ahead of time for any replies.
