Selected Features   

Advanced Graphical User Interface. Use Q3ADE3G's advanced graphical user interface and finally leave the era of command/text based management. Provides interactive graphical maps with animation of the alarm status and resource meters. Configure your own graphical map views of pretty much any information available through Q3ADE 3G. Do it interactively "on-the-fly" by drag-dropping information objects to a map and tailor the presentation of the information to your needs. Check our Screen Shots.  

GeoLocation. The GeoLocation feature enables registration of the geographical location of equipment and users as well. Various functions enables you to combine this information, for example to optimize the assignment of incident resolution tasks to technicians based on the location of the affected equipment and the location of the technicians right now. Pull up Google Maps to display the location of equipment on the map and suggest a shortest route to it.

Service availability Monitoring . Monitors the availability of services on the network through individual polling. Raises alarms on availability failure and collects availability statistics.   Graphs with 24H, 7D, 30D and 365D availability figures.

Resource Monitoring . Monitors host resources, like disk space, CPU'se and memory, Printer toner usage levels, room temperatures etc. Generates alarms when e.g. the disk usage is higher than 90% or the printer toner is low. Animate the state of the resource usage by meters or graphs. As an example of the versatility of Q3ADE 3G, we have added a component monitoring Sensatronics  environmental sensors for room temperature and humidity.

Monitor Windows Event Logs . Monitors the Event Logs of Windows Servers for errors and warnings. Alarms are generated accordingly.

Manage Alarms History . Logs and maintains alarm history, i.e. information about the alarm and its "lifecycle", like the content of the original alarm event, when it was cleared, if the operator has seen it (i.e. acknowledged it), repeated alarm events etc.

Alert by Mail . An alert mail may be issued automatically to any number of mail addresses with information about specific alarms, when they occur.

Incident Management/Trouble Ticket Management. Bring the management of technical incidents in your system to a higher professional level with the Incident Manager of Q3ADE. Tracks the Incident Resolution Process through its phases from the detection of the problem to the resolution of the problem. Generate reports with MTTR's and detailed information about the frequency of specific problems and the time it takes to repair them. Read more about the Incident Management in the IMGR folder.

Generate Inventory Reports. A range of predefined inventory reports may be produced, like disk usage statistics, Internet address usage, Availability statistics reports on various key services.

Auto-discovery of equipment, services. Automatically detects and recognizes equipment on the network and the services/applications available on the equipment. Reduces the configuration time significantly. You may be up running wihthin 30 minutes from installation.

Localization Support. Support for multiple languages on the same server installation. I.e. the same server may serve users with different language preferences.

A specialized web server. The Q3ADE 3G platform provides management information access through its build-in web server function. You may design customized web-services using a general purpose web designer tool.

Multi-User Support and end-to-end security. Several hundreds of users may access the Q3ADE 3G Server at the same time from remote workstations. It only requires a Q3Browser or a web browser, depending on the application. Each user has his/her own individual login account with individual settings with respect to access rights, presentation profiling, language preference, access profiling etc..

Manage equipment with SNMP, TL1 and CLI protocols like Telnet, SSH, RSH, HTTP. Q3ADE 3G is a general purpose management platform, where you can add your own management scripts to operate on equipment through a range of legacy management protocols as well as using S.O.A web technology.

Why use Q3ADE 3G?

Q3ADE 3G is a one stop-shopping solution. You get all the basic functionality you need for managing practically any type of network equipment in one integrated application.

Q3ADE 3G enables integrated network management. Q3ADE 3G integrates and unifies real-time system information from many types of information sources into a single user interface abstracting the underlying technologies, e.g. protocols, security schemes etc.. Valuable real-time system information becomes available at your hand to an unprecedented degree.

Q3ADE 3G is highly adaptable. Q3ADE 3G offers an impressive range of utilities that enables tailoring of practically any feature of Q3ADE 3G to your needs. This includes direct interactive assignment of language specific titles and help information on any information object, interactive creation of maps and customized web-based user interfaces using a dynamic web interface language. It requires only basic HTML skills to create advanced web-based services in no time.

Q3ADE 3G is designed for scalability. It runs on simple PC hardware and multicore CPU as well as on huge multi-processor Sun installations. It runs on multiple distributed hosts to scale capacity even further. The typical peak transaction capacity starts at 100 TPS (transactions per second) on a low-grade retail PC and exceeds 10.000 TPS on a multi-host Sun cluster.

Q3ADE 3G cost scales with capacity requirements. The license price of Q3ADE 3G scales with the number of services enabled and the number of concurrently managed equipment or users attached. Hence, the price for a single user/single equipment configuration is considerably lower than a high-end multi-user/multi-equipment configuration. You may start a zero cost with the fee license included with the Q3ADE 3G Download.

Requirements

  • Windows NT/2000, Sun Sparc + Solaris or Red Hat Linux*)
  • 1 GB RAM + min. 100 MB Free HD space.
  • Optional low level OSI protocol stacks depending on the hosting OS and peer application requirements.
