Lumeta Launches ESI 2.2
June 2015 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Lumeta Corporation announced the release of Lumeta Enterprise Situational Intelligence (ESI) 2.2, which includes new and enhanced features such as Layer 2 indexing, BGP support, device profiling improvements, as well as user-defined attributes and reporting.
New in ESI 2.2:
– Layer 2 – Enables ESI to gather spanning-tree, VLAN, and port address information. Network topology maps highlight Layer 2 device details and supports contextual navigation from Layer 3 to Layer 2 topology.
– BGP Listening – Using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) listening, ESI 2.2 reports on BGP traffic, in much the same way it listens to and reports on OSPF traffic, yielding more comprehensive indexing results.
– User-defined Device Profiles – Users can now supply custom device profiles, enabling ESI to provide device attributes that go beyond what’s openly available – making an organization’s equipment easier to identify in maps and reports.
– User-defined Attributes/Labeling – Add labels and values to particular IP addresses and CIDR blocks to provide additional context in maps and reports.
– User-defined Reports – Define and produce reports to uniquely filter and display data that’s important to a specific organization.
– New Reports – New and expanded reports provide additional ways to visualize and analyze network data.
Pricing and Availability
Lumeta ESI 2.2 will become generally available (GA) by the end of June 2015. It is sold as an annual subscription – hosted in either the client’s VMware infrastructure or in the Lumeta Cloud – starting at USD $7,200 per year (including Standard Maintenance & Support).
