VistaOne is not in the “network business” per se. We don’t install routers or switches. We don’t pull cable or install racks in data centers (Do blade servers help you with cutovers?). We don’t provision bandwidth or VoIP or backbone connections. We don’t host anything--even our own Website. The only forklifts we do are from a plate of Virginia ham and beans.
Personal computers networked across the Internet have provided the greatest productivity boost to the world’s workers since the telephone, the typewriter and layoff rumors.
Unfortunately, they’ve also produced the most entertaining, engrossing, addictive time wasters since football pools, water cooler gossip or those little hoop backboards that attach to wastebaskets.
Neither you nor we have anything against (legal) online gaming, (legal) movie and music downloads, You Tube, social networks, Skype or streaming anything. We don’t advocate blocking stress-relieving pastimes or creative inspiration or camaraderie-building communication. We just want to throttle it a bit. Choke it into submission. Let someone else have a little bandwidth, for cryin’ out loud.
We Just Make the Stuff Work
We have a very singular purpose. We’re wholly dedicated to optimum application performance and superior user experience.
Do the network-borne applications deemed critical to your organization’s success
- function as expected?
- respond without delay as if local?
- and contribute to productivity, peace and harmony among humans?
Our only focus, our raison d’être, is probing, redirecting, shielding, compressing, shaping, caching and bludgeoning your asynchronous chaos into prioritized, accelerated, secure transmissions delivered real-time to every edge, including mobile workers. We’re way more likely to catch things the generalists miss, understand things the generalists can’t and learn from mistakes we’ve made because we know the root cause.
Danny Boy, the Pipes are Calling
In a way, we’re like plumbers—only we try not to expose anything when we bend over. We show you the recreational and non-business applications clogging your data pipes and help you reallocate resource consumption by protocol, type of application, user class or even individual user or app.
We’ve partnered with Riverbed, Blue Coat and a number of other best-in-class solution providers with different strengths and specialties. Once you and we have identified your unique points of pain, we can impartially prescribe the ideal remedy.
You already know what the symptoms are. We’ll help you find the causes. We stay on top of it while you evaluate the appliances and programs we install to fix things. You won’t make a buying decision without seeing a solution work in your environment.
Professional Services Before and After Deployment
Our relationship is just beginning when you sign the contract. We follow up at set intervals to make sure you’re getting full value from the stuff and strategies we helped you initiate. We have the knowledge in-house to optimize your solution and the relationships with the manufacturers to unscramble any complex issues. We consider it a personal failure if we let you miss any software versions or firmware updates or even significant announcements.
Don’t Get Schooled by the Applications Running on Your Network. Get Street Smart with Authorized Training
Application performance tools are powerful and can be complex with lots of levers and dials available to tweak. Like your old “war wound,” these appliances can tell you when a storm’s coming. You just have to know how to interpret and set policies for best outcomes.
Our engineers have earned certification to teach the manufacturer’s curriculum on many of the products we offer. That means the guy that analyzed your network, helped you design a solution and worked with you during evaluation of the equipment in your environment can also teach you how to deploy and run the stuff. Get focused hands-on laboratory training in our comfortable regional offices or at the location of your choice.
Don’t Try to Do It AloneObviously, your network users (including the bigwigs) don’t know from latency or jitter. They couldn’t care less about chatty protocols like CIFS and SMTP. Network congestion’s effect on QoS means squat. They only know the consequences they’re experiencing are your fault.
The fact that your application stutters doesn’t mean you have to. Know what’s causing delays and fix them before they become issues and urgent work orders. We’d like to be your friend in the know, your ally in experience delivery. It costs you nothing to talk to us, and we might both learn something.
