Logicmonitor achieves Cisco preferred solution partner status
with certified integration for Cisco managed secure SD-WAN
LogicMonitor has announced it has achieved Cisco Compatible status for its
Cisco SD-WAN integration. This certification validates that LogicMonitor’s
innovative cloud-based platform has been fully vetted by Cisco and
establishes LogicMonitor as a Cisco preferred monitoring partner for
organisations deploying and managing sophisticated networks.
As a result of its SD-WAN compatibility certification, LogicMonitor has
achieved a status upgrade within the Cisco Solution Partner Programme to
that of Cisco Preferred Solution Partner. This programme reflects Cisco’s
commitment to helping customers and partners maximise the value of their
investment in Cisco environments. Preferred Solution Partner status provides
access to early product launches and enables LogicMonitor to provide
customers with unmatched coverage across the Cisco product portfolio.
“LogicMonitor is a great partner with innovative solutions. We are
excited to showcase them in our Cisco SD-WAN Technology Alliances
Programme as a best-of-breed joint solution partner, and look forward
to launching LogicMonitor’s Cisco Compatible solutions to our Managed
Services Partners,” said Marc Inderhees, Partner Managed Services Leader,
Cisco Systems.
According to a recent report published by global market intelligence
firm IDC, Cisco holds the largest share of the SD-WAN infrastructure
market. The same report also predicts the SD-WAN market is expected to
reach $5.25B by 2023.
“We work with numerous enterprises and managed service providers
with massive, global deployments of Viptela and Meraki that rely on
LogicMonitor to not only visualise their networks but also maintain
high-availability and improve SLAs,” said Michael Tarbet, Vice President
of Managed Service Providers and Strategic Accounts, LogicMonitor. “As
Cisco continues to expand its high-reliability, high-quality network services,
LogicMonitor is now even more well-positioned to help Cisco customers
optimise, centralise and modernise the critical IT capabilities that drive
positive results for their business.”
LogicMonitor provides real-time intelligence for SD-WAN environments
with out-of-the-box monitoring that is automatically applied as soon as a
new device is detected.
This auto-discovery of devices, coupled with the platform’s cloudbased
architecture, creates rapid time-to-value and allows network
administrators to decrease average customer onboarding timeframes.
"As an early adopter of Cisco SD-WAN, Core BTS supports more
than 800 active customers and 5,000 networks that stretch over eight
countries, and we are constantly adding new branches and locations under
our management,” said Bill Wilshire, Chief Operating Officer at Core BTS.
“With LogicMonitor, we install a collector remotely within minutes and
easily integrate remote sites into the network for a unified view into the
health and performance across all locations, including physical, cloud, and
hybrid environments.
"LogicMonitor is crucial to helping us deliver business value to our clients
and to developing solutions to grow our Cisco business, and we’re thrilled
to see the continued innovation.” n

R&MinteliPhy – Automated Infrastructure Management by R&M
Manually managed infrastructure data
has a 10% error rate*, 20-40% of ports
in a network are forgotten over time**.
The automated R&MinteliPhy solution
continuously monitors each connection
in one or more data centres or local
networks, a (remote) central server
records cabling status. The AIM-based
solution has functions for management,
analysis as well as planning cabling and
network cabinets.
R&MinteliPhy is easy to retrofit and
can halve network monitoring and
management costs. When new devices
are integrated or changes made updates
are automatically generated. Unused
patch panels and ports in active equipment
are instantly detected. Data can be traced
in real time with a PC or smartphone,
faulty connections are located in seconds.
