Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW) is an independent global investment management firm and mutual fund manager based in Baltimore, Maryland. It was founded in 1937 by Thomas Rowe Price, Jr.. T. are among the first CITTIO customers to adopt the new CMAS offering for their monitoring needs. With CMAS, CITTIO is reducing downtime by providing customers with one up-to-date network and system view of the entire infrastructure, ranging from servers and switches to games and applications. CMAS also minimizes the upfront risks associated with the typical investment required for traditional network and systems monitoring solutions. Moreover, unlike other Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, a CITTIO customer owns the CITTIO WatchTower software and can adjust the amount of CMAS features in use based on individual requirements. As IT infrastructure has evolved from a few large servers to many smaller servers, network and systems monitoring grows increasingly complex each day. Adding to this complexity is the proliferation of IP-ready devices introduced to the network on a daily basis, such as barcode scanners, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones, wireless access points, security cameras, digital video recorders (DVRs), branch offices and point-of-sale (POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale ) systems. As a result, IT staffers can only react to problems as they arise rather than proactively manage and prevent issues from occurring. Moreover, the majority of manual, inflexible network and systems monitoring solutions on the market today are limited in their support of network-enabled devices and unable to provide an enterprise-wide view of the entire infrastructure. "The introduction of CMAS is yet another integral step in providing CITTIO's customers with the most automated, best-in-class network and systems monitoring platform available," said Jamie Lerner, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
