The branch office in Brunico was evaluating a new network management solution to guarantee a best possible service degree and to control the entire IT infrastructure. The high availability of the systems had a key priority for branch office at Brunico/Italy, where applications for the whole global corporate have to be provided.

Comparing different network management solutions GKN decided to adopt WÜRTHPHOENIX NetEye. The main reasons were the simplicity of the application and the comparatively low cost for the implementation. Other well-known and expensive solutions needed a lot of resources for the maintenance and configuration of the system itself.

The main requirements

  • More than 600 monitored checks
  • Guarantee a high service degree
  • Automatic inventory of all hardware and software
  • High availability of all systems to increase internal productivity
  • Cost reduction because of increased operative efficiency
  • Network Management for the entire IT infrastructure
  • Monitoring of all background processes and jobs
  • Alerts in case of errors during the execution of the background processes

Opinions on NetEye

"With WÜRTHPHOENIX NetEye we are able to check simultaneously more than 600 services, we can affirm that the service degree has been considerably improved while the operational costs have been significantly decreased"

Werner Feichter, IT Manager GKN Driveline Brunico
