CA Spectrum replaced by AccelOps at Austin Radiological Association
In an effort to cut costs, the Austin Radiological Association said it replaced CA Spectrum monitoring software with a solution from AccelOps, the latest version of which adds role-based access control to tailor views and access based on users’ roles within an organization.

Geoff Christy, senior network engineer at the Austin, Texas-based firm, said AccelOps provides the same level of SNMP monitoring as CA Spectrum, plus non-invasive monitoring via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and improved visibility into Oracle and MySQL databases, all for a substantial savings.

In addition to support for role-based access control, AccelOps 3.1 features a “noise” reduction feature for suppressing extraneous alerts based on user-supplied policies; and broader support of VMware clusters and resource pools. AccelOps is available as either as Software as a Service or as a virtual appliance that runs on-site. Beyond monitoring, AccelOps also offers optional Security Information Event Management (SIEM) and Performance and Availability Monitoring (PAM) modules.
