NetCrunch is a modern, scalable network monitoring and observability platform designed to simplify infrastructure and traffic management across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. It monitors everything from servers, switches, and firewalls to operating systems, cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, including IoT, virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V), applications, logs, and custom data via REST, SNMP, WMI, or scripts-all without agents. NetCrunch offers over 670 built-in monitoring packs and policies that automatically apply based on device role, enabling fast setup and consistent configuration across thousands of nodes. Its dynamic maps, real-time dashboards, and Layer 2/3 topology views provide instant visibility into the health and performance of the entire infrastructure. Unlike legacy tools like SolarWinds, PRTG, or WhatsUp Gold, NetCrunch uses simple node-based licensing with no hidden costs, eliminating sensor limits and pricing traps. It includes intelligent alert correlation, alert automation & suppression, and proactive triggers to minimize noise and maximize clarity, along with 40+ built-in alert actions including script execution, email, SMS, webhooks, and seamless integrations with tools like Jira, PagerDuty, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Out-of-the -box AI-enhanced root cause analysis and recommendation for every alert. NetCrunch also features full hardware and software inventory, device configuration backup and change tracking, bandwidth analysis, flow monitoring (NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX), and flexible REST-based data ingestion. Designed for speed, automation, and scale, NetCrunch enables IT teams to monitor thousands of devices from a single server, reducing manual work while delivering actionable insights instantly. Designed for on-prem (including air-gapped), cloud self-hosted or hybrid networks, it is the ideal future-ready monitoring platform for businesses that demand simplicity, power, and total infrastructure awareness.

RaimaDB is an embedded time series database designed specifically for Edge and IoT devices, capable of operating entirely in-memory. This powerful and lightweight relational database management system (RDBMS) is not only secure but has also been validated by over 20,000 developers globally, with deployments exceeding 25 million instances. It excels in high-performance environments and is tailored for critical applications across various sectors, particularly in edge computing and IoT. Its efficient architecture makes it particularly suitable for systems with limited resources, offering both in-memory and persistent storage capabilities. RaimaDB supports versatile data modeling, accommodating traditional relational approaches alongside direct relationships via network model sets. The database guarantees data integrity with ACID-compliant transactions and employs a variety of advanced indexing techniques, including B+Tree, Hash Table, R-Tree, and AVL-Tree, to enhance data accessibility and reliability. Furthermore, it is designed to handle real-time processing demands, featuring multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) and snapshot isolation, which collectively position it as a dependable choice for applications where both speed and stability are essential. This combination of features makes RaimaDB an invaluable asset for developers looking to optimize performance in their applications.

Maxta's Hyperconvergence software empowers IT teams to choose their preferred servers and hypervisors, facilitating independent storage scaling and enabling various workloads to operate seamlessly on a single cluster. In contrast to conventional hyperconverged appliances, Maxta abolishes vendor lock-in and the associated costs of refreshes and upgrades, granting users the flexibility to leverage existing servers, acquire pre-configured solutions, or opt for a combination of both. While traditional appliances may hide additional costs, Maxta guarantees that you will never incur charges for software updates when you refresh your hardware. Unlike many storage and hyperconverged systems that limit policy management to the LUN, volume, or cluster level, Maxta supports the simultaneous execution of multiple applications on the same cluster without sacrificing performance or availability. This stands in stark contrast to appliance-based solutions that necessitate purchasing new software licenses with hardware updates and require additional appliances for storage expansion. With Maxta, you can maintain perpetual ownership of your software, allowing for effortless storage expansion by simply adding drives to your current servers. This innovative approach significantly improves cost-effectiveness while simplifying resource management in your IT infrastructure, ultimately leading to a more agile and responsive operational environment. As businesses evolve, choosing Maxta positions IT departments to adapt swiftly to changing demands.
