Helps in pinpointing a problem quickly, scales very well, and handles SNMP monitoring better than others
It's a bit too complex right now. From the point of DX Spectrum, you have to implement a lot of server components. It should be easier because a lot of automation is possible today in the market. If everything is already prepared, you just need one day to deploy it. It doesn't take so much time. The implementation strategy depends on the customer or data center environment and the processes. With preparation, it takes about one month. In terms of the staff required, you need just one person for the Spectrum piece, but of course, you need a few people for preparing the network, firewall rules, and things like that. In terms of maintenance, the maintenance is that you have to keep it up to date. Other than that, there is not so much to do.
