Today we’re talking about automating network troubleshooting. We’re sponsored by PathSolutions, maker of the TotalView network monitoring software. TotalView pulls in network and device data and then runs it through a heuristics engine to identify problems such as cabling faults, QoS misconfigurations, VLAN tagging faults, and others. The engine can surface up issues automatically to help network engineers identify and resolve problems. Our guest is Tim Titus, CTO at PathSolutions.
