Computer networks are an integral part of business operations. Network downtime can be extremely costly - both financially and in terms of customer satisfaction. Consequently, there is a real commercial imperative to ensure network performance is optimized and that investments in hardware, software and support components are maximized. These demands for optimal performance are compounded as competitive pressures increase and budgetary resources decrease.

Effective Internet Protocol (IP) network performance has become so critical that sophisticated monitoring tools are now required to monitor IP traffic, raise potential problem alerts, aid problem diagnosis and provide historical performance reports. And, just as better network design means better network performance, software design - which is key to develop the complete IP monitor – also plays a critical role in performance. Expertly engineered solutions are more effective in terms of performance, usability, functionality and maintainability.

William Data Systems, leaders in z/OS network management tools, specifically designed ZEN IP MONITOR – IMPLEX, also known as ZEN IP MONITOR, with these customer challenges in mind.  The solution is powerful and user-friendly, enabling technicians to immediately pinpoint issues on z/OS networks.
