Alchemy Lab Network Management

January, 2005 For Immediate Release January 10, 2005 - Alchemy Lab announces the update of Alchemy Eye v6.5, its network monitoring tool for server support and rescue. Alchemy Eye is the 24/7 network monitoring solution that puts freedom and flexibility into the network administrator's job description, providing a stealthy and versatile tool to keep network servers running so smoothly the company begins to think the IT department is where the magicians hang out. As Alchemy Eye constantly monitors server accessibility and status, its multiple messaging capabilities stand ready to alert managers the moment a problem arises, before small issues cascade into server failure and unrest develops among the normally docile accountants. Alchemy Eye's functions boil down into three key elements: monitoring, messaging, and reporting. Since networks are in service without a break but their administrators can't be, Alchemy Eye's multiple monitoring protocols, which include ICMP (ping), NT Service State and Event Log, HTTP(S)/FTP URL Internet, and NetBIOS LAN and SMTP/POP3 mail server monitoring, to name just a few, provide continuous protection against unforseen disaster. When a problem is detected, the messaging features immediately alert network personnel via e-mail, cellular phone, pager, ICQ number or Windows Messenger Service. Then, depending upon configuration, Alchemy Eye performs rescue tasks such as restarting computers, executing SQL scripts or launching external applications, as well as operating many communication options. All monitoring activities are automatically logged and compiled into customizable reports to track server behavior over time. Alchemy Eye will then e-mail reports on a specified periodic basis to the responsible personnel. The myriad of features are described at http://www.alchemy-lab.com/products/eye/index.html. Even the most improvised and non-standard systems can be monitored by Alchemy Eye, especially where other COTS programs have failed. Because Alchemy Eye fully supports plug-in architecture, network professionals can develop custom plug-ins to serve their individual needs, or get development help from the wizards at Alchemy Lab for only $10/hour. Alchemy Eye sells for $299.00 USD, which includes unlimited update services and technical support. Site licensing options, quantity discount information and the demo program download are available from www.alchemy-lab.com?c=pr0501. The program requires Microsoft Windows” 9x/ME/NT/2000. Alchemy Lab designs a family of network management tools to enhance and protect server productivity while reducing the stress burden on network engineers.
