For maximum 64-bit processing, Observer Suite includes a 64-bit core. A 32-bit version is also included.

Web Publishing and Web Reporting
All you need is a web browser to view data and generate reports for non-Observer users (other employees or outside consultants). You control the level of access. Share reports across the company and automate report delivery. Obtain current and historical data as well as usage trends based upon specific stations.

 


Reporting benefits:

  • Share reports company wide
  • Publish network “weather reports” for your corporate intranet/extranet
  • Follow developing trends to prepare for upgrades or expansion activities
  • Drill down into any report for root-cause analysis
  • Quickly publish reports with ready-made or custom reporting options

 

“Prior to Observer, there was no way to break down web traffic. Internet usage data is critical because it comes off each department’s bottom line. Observer helped resolve a billing problem by providing a report of Internet activity per department. Now executives are requesting netwrk trending reports on a daily basis.”
