Cisco Systems wants to make managing mixed SNA and IP network performance easier.
At the recent Share user group meeting, sources said the company plans to roll out CiscoWorks Blue Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) Version 2.0, a Unix-based network management application that lets users monitor the performance of SNA and IP traffic in a routed network.
IPM is designed to measure and analyse response times on a hop-by-hop or router-to-router basis within an enterprise network.
