TLYN...An analysis of the product and technology.

I've spent some time the last couple of weeks exchanging emails/talking to Talieh and his engineers about the product and digging into all the documentation . I'm very impressed with the functionality currently available and the future direction they are taking the product. I work as a technologist in the IT sector and as such my expertise focuses on Fiber channel and IP based technologies. Telynx is an IP (internet protocol) based technology.

Telynx is a reporting product that allows you to report across data centers or geographies with regards to your environments network equipment from a roll up perspective. Rollup meaning to aggregate information (for example the number of ports of a certain type). Could be used for capacity planning etc. This is very critical as products like these are targetted to the high end of the market (CIOs and management types) and usually generate higher margins. Now the sales lead time is usually lengthier as well.

Telynx is using a lot of open standards such as SNMP to pull information from these devices which is an industry best practice method of accessing this info. They do not deploy agents (which is a big win), their data collection is meant to be more passive in nature.

IMO billing will probably be a part of this in the future and chargeback is a big deal. A lot of internal business units often ask bring on more servers etc, but the number of servers and port usage is not tracked properly. Having a system like Telynx III will hopefully in the future allow IT (which is a cost center) to chargeback for ports allocated to lines of business etc.

A lot of this may sound Geeky and that is very much the case. I have not touched the product myself, but based on discussions and reviewing docs that are publicly available this is some extra perspective on the product.
