Tech Laboratories Introduces DynaTraX 'Virtual Technician'

Tech Laboratories Inc announced its DynaTraX Virtual Technician, which provides autonomic self-healing and self-managing of network technologies, is available for distribution.

The DynaTraX hardware system, an intelligent, physical-layer configuration cross-connect "matrix" control system, is positioned between the network equipment and the delivery distribution sides. The Virtual Technician as an enterprise management solution, monitors local and remote networks for anomalies associated with intrusions/hackers and network failures. Instructions are sent to a DynaTraX unit based on that specific alarm, providing automation of the healing process at the physical layer.

"Traditional network enterprise management system providers have successfully responded to most administrative, security management and monitoring activities," said Bernard M. Ciongoli, president of Tech Laboratories. "However, without dispatching technical personnel to the site, these same systems fall short when it is necessary to physically isolate, rearrange or quickly respond to a need for replacing and blocking defective circuits and equipment -- quickly recovering from a crucial failure. Additionally, traditional systems lag when it comes to automatically maintaining up-to-date records for rearranged network assets, user information and configuration connectivity assignments. Performing all of these critical physical layer activities, using present day network enterprise management system scenarios, is at best a timely and expensive process, usually requiring on-site manual intervention to accomplish physical layer tasks of network maintenance activities. The Virtual Technician is a cost-effective and efficient solution to this problem."

The company recently announced the introduction of DynaTraX Enterprise Management System to thwart the increasing threat posed by cyber terrorists. This software/hardware system provides the ultimate in positive access security.
