Real Status Revolutionises Network Visualisation with 3D Hyperglance

Real Status, a UK-based company, is revolutionising network visualisation with Hyperglance. This innovative tool, spun off from Geomerics, uses 3D technology originally developed for computer games to provide clearer insights into networking infrastructure than traditional 2D systems.

The idea of visualising network infrastructure has been around for decades, but most tools have been limited to two dimensions. Real Status aims to change this by introducing the third dimension, making it easier to spot correlations and make quick decisions.

Hyperglance collects data from standard network discovery tools and third-party systems management platforms. It then constructs a 3D model of all network components, including both physical and virtual systems. The system can map interdependencies between these systems, making it valuable for use with real estate management tools like VMware.

One of the key features of Hyperglance is its ability to alert systems administrators to issues that need immediate attention. If there's a security breach on a business-critical system, for instance, the affected node will flash red on the model.

The technology behind Hyperglance was developed by Geomerics, a company founded by Dr. Chris Doran, a Cambridge University astrophysics researcher. Geomerics partnered with Cambridge IT consultancy Intergence to apply this graphics technology to network visualisation, resulting in Hyperglance.

Real Status' Hyperglance is set to transform network management by harnessing the power of 3D visualisation. By capitalising on the human mind's pattern recognition capabilities, it enables administrators to spot correlations quickly and make informed decisions. With its ability to detect and alert users to critical issues, Hyperglance is a valuable tool for any organisation looking to improve its network management.
