What we should be doing is not isolating failure domains from a trouble-ticket point of view, but rather starting with a larger domain and shrinking from there. Vendors are still selling, and users are still using, point products designed to troubleshoot one particular aspect of a failure.
Background and experience do not equal success, but certainly the weight of experience here lends itself to a high level of credibility right out of the gate, and begs at least a second glance.Īs data centers and infrastructure in general have become increasingly complicated, the risk of one thing breaking and causing the whole ball of yarn to come undone has increased exponentially, while the tools to analyze such problems with an eye towards root cause analysis and resolution have not matured. Oh, and let’s not overlook their credentials in the form of computer science degrees and master’s degrees from some of the best engineering schools across the world. Chia-Chee Kuan, Dean Au, and Miles Wu have, collectively, some 76 years of experience between them in the industry they’re trying to change experience that comes in the form of patents, in the founding of companies like AirMagnet and Cinco Networks, and in the many years of R &D at companies from Cisco to Fluke. Add cloud management and you really do have the makings of a great product.īefore we get to the product, however, in this case it is worth talking for a moment about the founders of Uila. The visualizations are nothing short of stunning, and the backing data is attained fast, and is highly accurate. Rarely does a breakthrough product come out of a startup on first try-usually there is much refining-but Uila may have done just that.
If it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words, then nascent software company Uila has written a novel with their breakout software product for monitoring, and performing root cause analysis on, virtualized and physical network infrastructure, bridging the gap between both.
