Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) is making waves in the network monitoring space with a major upgrade to its OmniVista Network Advisor. This update is a big win for businesses that rely on a mix of networking gear from different vendors.
The new OmniVista Network Advisor can now integrate with third-party devices, such as firewalls, expanding its ability to detect anomalies and offer tailored solutions across more complex, multi-vendor environments. This is a major shift for ALE, which has previously focused on its own OmniSwitch and OmniAccess Stellar Access Points.
The update also includes a seamless integration with Microsoft Teams, allowing IT teams to receive dynamic notifications, collaborate instantly, and execute network remediations directly within the Teams environment. This is a significant move for ALE, which has previously relied on its Rainbow CPaaS for real-time alerts and automated remediation.
This update is a clear sign that ALE is committed to providing its customers with a more holistic and flexible network management solution. The company is also adapting to customer preferences by offering support for Microsoft Teams, a popular collaboration platform.
