In today’s digital world, companies need powerful tools to efficiently monitor and optimize their IT environments. Riverbed Aternity offers innovative solutions that enhance the digital experience. In this blog post, we take a closer look at three core features of Aternity: the Unified Agent, role-based remediation scripts, and Riverbed IQ Assist.
Unified Agent: Simplified Administration and Improved Transparency
Managing multiple agents across different platforms can be a significant challenge for IT administrators. Riverbed’s Unified Agent solves this problem by integrating various functions into a single platform. This greatly simplifies administration and avoids potential conflicts between different agents.
The Unified Agent supports several modules:
- Aternity Module: Provides comprehensive end-user experience monitoring to ensure applications and devices function optimally.
- NPM+ Module: Captures network performance data from the client’s perspective, offering valuable insights into network infrastructure.
- Intel Module: Analyzes Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi connections to detect issues with monitors, docking stations, and other peripherals.
Thanks to these modules, IT teams gain a holistic view of their IT environment, allowing them to identify and resolve issues faster.
Role-Based Remediation Scripts: Targeted Problem Resolution
Remediation scripts are predefined actions designed to automatically resolve specific IT problems. Until now, these scripts were often accessible to all users, posing security risks and organizational challenges.
Riverbed addresses this issue with role-based remediation scripts:
- Administrators can now use security tags to precisely control which users or groups are allowed to run specific scripts.
- This enables targeted control, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to critical scripts.
- Companies benefit from enhanced security and more efficient problem resolution.
This feature was developed in response to customer feedback and offers a significantly more flexible and secure way to use remediation scripts.
Riverbed IQ Assist: AI-Powered Support for the Service Desk
The increasing complexity of IT environments makes it harder for service desk teams to quickly diagnose and resolve problems. Riverbed IQ Assist supports IT staff by offering solution suggestions based on reported issues.
- Script Recommendations: Currently, IQ Assist primarily recommends remediation scripts as possible solutions.
- Future Enhancements: Riverbed is continuously working to further develop IQ Assist, aiming to improve its intelligence. Future versions will provide deeper client data analysis and more precise recommendations.
While IQ Assist already facilitates troubleshooting, it will soon be expanded with AI-powered analysis and broader automation capabilities.
Conclusion
With features such as the Unified Agent, role-based remediation scripts, and Riverbed IQ Assist, Riverbed Aternity provides companies with powerful tools to meet modern IT challenges successfully. These innovations allow organizations to optimize IT performance, minimize security risks, and ensure a better user experience.
