Reason 1 – Scope of use LoriotPro software has an extremely broad scope of use
and can be adapted to meet all types of requirements. It is already used by
many of our telecommunications customers around the world for monitoring
complex network infrastructures. Their decision to use LoriotPro was mainly
based on its technical performance in terms of monitoring and filtering alarms
from hundreds of pieces of critical or sensitive equipment. It is also highly
popular in the service industry and with banks for monitoring their vertical
applications or information systems as well as in industry and transport
(monitoring systems and applications in the air mail sector). ISPs and
BroadCasting companies benefit from LoriotPro’s flexibility to remotely monitor
their network and broadcasting equipment with specific constraints. |
 |
Reason 2 – Cost control LoriotPro is a solution which has no nasty
financial surprises, hidden costs or recurrent costs. Whether your information
system is concentrated or spread across many sites, with one single licence for
the Standard or Extended editions, you can monitor all your resources without
restrictions or limits in terms of quantity and duration. For the Standard and
Extended editions, the cost of the licence is not based on the number of
machines and no additional agents are required for monitoring the machines and
equipment. |
 |
Reason 3 – Durability LoriotPro is a software program that has
been entirely developed in France by LUTEUS who manage the entire product. It
was created 1998 and has been improved regularly ever since. It is also
compatible with the latest versions of Windows and has been since its
commercial release in 2002. LUTEUS focuses its growth on this one product and
does not attempt to diversify. LoriotPro competes directly and modestly with
all the major solutions on the market. LoriotPro is already established all
over the world with our customers, many of whom are international names. |
 |
Reason 4 – Service and
responsiveness The modest
size of LUTEUS requires an irreproachable level of product and service quality.
LUTEUS has no choice but to fully satisfy its customers by being highly
responsive and providing products that are tailored to suit their needs. The
rich quality of the product currently draws on the many requests customers have
made for improvements since LoriotPro was first released onto the market. |
 |
Reason 5 – It’s visual and
ergonomic. LoriotPro stands out from the rest thanks
to its user interface which can detect a fault in an infrastructure of hundreds
or even thousands of machines. Its graphical interface uses Windows’s
multi-window environment, making it possible to create dynamic visuals for your
information system called Active View. These fully modular control panels
permanently display the operating statuses, the availability and the load value
of your IT resources (Ethernet links, memories, drives, network services,
servers, applications etc.). With Active View, our customers benefit from a
tool which is completely unique in its field to create perfectly adapted
visuals and control diagrams to suit their activities. |
 |
Reason 6 – Smooth and
responsive user interface The LoriotPro console uses the Microsoft Windows interface rather than the WEB
standard. The WEB mode does not provide a rapid display (real time) of your
information system’s status. Furthermore, market solutions with JAVA’s
multi-platform often suffer from slow graphical interfaces that make using the
product on a daily basis painstaking. LoriotPro, on the other hand,
uses a WEB display mode for remote-access consultation. |
 |
Reason 7 – Performance and
standard compatibility This is
LoriotPro’s most important feature but also the least obvious. LoriotPro has a
remarkable ability to control the availability of thousands of different
elements thanks to its internal architecture using the Windows multitask function.
The total control of collection and treatment processes for incidents and
alarms which may pour in by the second in their hundreds is another key factor
for ensuring you have total control of your surroundings. LoriotPro’s
compatibility with Internet standards and the SNMP standard support, the
well known and used management protocol, is a veritable guarantee of
the product’s durability and compatibility with thousands of software systems
and equipment already present on the market and, in some cases, in your
information systems. To explain the importance of this criterion, we will
consider the example of measuring the bit rate of interface networks which are
increasingly moving into the realms of Gigabits per second. To properly support
a value measure of this order, LoriotPro includes the complete 64 bit SNMP
support as standard and offers 64 bit value handling functions with LUA
scripting.
In addition and to ensure that LoriotPro carries out the processes that
it is sometimes called upon to perform in extremely short periods of time, it
has its own in-house graphical and visual performance checks (DashBoard). |
 |
Reason 8 – It’s
progressive and open The Extended LorioPro edition is open to
the development of applications based on LUA integrated scripting language. The
integration of application development tools within LoriotPro and the addition
of hundreds of functions are radically speeding up the writing of monitoring
and audit applications. Thanks to this opening, the most varied of difficulties
can be resolved and everyday laborious tasks can be entirely automated. Script
applications provide interactive facilities with the software’s graphical
interfaces, for dynamic displays of information systems from physical layers to application layers. |
 |
Reason 9 – Owner solution
rather than Open Source LUTEUS is a software
publisher and not an Open Source code assembler. LUTEUS owns 90% of the code which is developed exclusively in France, and lays claim to its original design. LUTEUS developers have a wealth of
experience in systems and network issues and recently the “CCIE 10 Years” logo
(Cisco certified internetwork expert) was awarded to one of them. LoriotPro software is an original and unique code
developed with an eye on performance and operability. It is written mainly in
C and C++ language and optimised for the Windows operating system and multitask
processing. This total control means we are able to be highly responsive to
requests for change and corrective measures. There is one notable exception to
this rule however, with the following use of Open Source: LUA scripting
language, MRTG and RRD time-related graphics. |
 |
Reason 10 – non
relational CMDB Technical decisions taken by the LUTEUS development team have resulted in LoriotPro
not using relational databases to record configuration items and IT
resource usage information. Remember that CMDBs designate the database used to
record the inventory of resources. The reasons behind this choice are, first
and foremost, the performance losses noted when databases of this type are
accessed. Performance drops even further when these databases are of a
substantial size. Secondly, there is a need to have a competent database
administrator to keep them operational over time. The vision behind our
monitoring tools is to ease administrators’ workload, and not to give them
additional work with a tool that is complicated to maintain. |
