(Source: MARKETWIRE)Kratos (NASDAQ: KTOS) announces the release of dopplerVUE(R) 2.0, the network and IT monitoring software product that brings enterprise-grade functionality to networks of any size. Enhancements in the new release deliver increased flexibility and visual clarity that allow network managers to easily customize how they manage the unique needs and make-up of their organization. dopplerVUE 2.0 also features architectural enhancements that support robust management of distributed and larger networks.

dopplerVUE is a core management solution that helps network professionals better pinpoint, troubleshoot and pre-empt network problem areas in service delivery, bandwidth management and network uptime. It integrates fault and performance monitoring with automated discovery and mapping across network devices, servers and services presenting a single, comprehensive real-time window into the network without the need for add-ons or additional modules.

"From the beginning, our idea behind dopplerVUE was to take capabilities that were only available in high-priced enterprise solutions and bring them to networks of any size," said Mike Smith, General Manager of Kratos Network Management Solutions. "Enterprise grade power includes robustness and the flexibility to manage your network your way, and those are two areas we focused on in this release including a new interface that provides a higher level of visualization and clarity than ever before."

Striking user interface & visualization

dopplerVUE 2.0 features an intuitive interface and engaging display tools set against a high-contrast background for better readability. Users can customize dashboards with a variety of intelligent visualization tools such as maps, charts and gauges that present network status and performance information with at-a-glance clarity. Auto-updating maps are now clearer than ever, including the ability to quickly shift between multiple real-time maps, dashboards, windows, tabbed panels and split-screen displays that are available simultaneously without waiting for them to reload.

The new interface exhibits an important part of dopplerVUE's overall flexibility. Rather than being locked into canned views, users can create an unlimited number of tailored desktops and dashboards that show precisely -- and only -- the data and charts they want. For example, a managed service provider might choose to create multiple views of the specific infrastructure supporting high-value clients. Access to these views is easy to control, and they complement the many out-of-the-box visuals that come preconfigured in dopplerVUE.

"Customer feedback of 2.0's interface and graphics has been remarkable," commented Smith. "For data intensive applications like network monitoring and management, you need the complementary combination of both an exceptional front-end display and strong back end data collection.
