RiverSoft's OpenRiver software is the industry's first "interventionless" network management software. It automatically and accurately maps the true connectivity of the network and presents network managers with the isolated problem and its network impact, providing interventionless network management with a nearly zero cost of ownership, fault isolation, and maintenance. "We are very proud to be recognized by the editors of Data Communications and InternetWeek as in the Best of Show Awards," said Mike Silvey, vice president of marketing. "OpenRiver represents a significant breakthrough in network management as the first tool to deliver an interventionless approach.

VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network switching allowing true root cause and operational impact to be derived. OpenRiver can also 'feed' its data into third-party management systems such as HP OpenView HP OpenView was a Hewlett Packard product range consisting of an extensive portfolio of network and systems management products.

Once mapping is complete, the system automatically manages the equipment within its domain, alerting operators with root cause events and an operational impact map showing the affected services and nodes. OpenRiver even rediscovers and manages network devices that have been reconfigured, alerting operations about the configuration change, and remapping the network connectivity to reflect the change. OpenRiver uses smart polling to ensure the integrity of the monitored network. If a root cause is isolated, polling of the impacted devices is suspended until the problem is resolved. Upon resolution, the impacted devices are proactively rechecked to reestablish the network integrity. The whole configuration management process is thus greatly simplified. CMP Media Inc.
