Dotcom-Monitor Adds Video Streaming Monitoring Service
Plymouth, MN – (12/10/2007) – Dotcom-Monitor, the leader and innovator in advanced website monitoring services, announces real-time video stream functionality monitoring, a new option for its innovative and indispensable website monitoring service.
Dotcom-Monitor, a leading web site monitoring company, announced a new monitoring service today that assists corporations in the video streaming market and increases the stability and effectiveness of their video content services. This video stream monitoring service directly impacts the video streaming market that was worth an estimated $600 million in 2006 as reported by Research and Markets, a market research group based in Ireland. Most companies that provide video on their websites require their streaming content to be available 24/7 to attract visitors, serve advertisements, and provide informational or instructional materials. Competing in the Internet’s world market necessitates the highest quality with minimal interruption of streams. Dotcom-Monitor assists corporations in maintaining an edge over their competition through Quality of Service (QoS) assurance.
Simple and Comprehensive Media Monitoring
Application of Dotcom-Monitor’s services is nearly effortless. Corporations provide the URL and specifications of their streaming content, and Dotcom-Monitor consistently ascertains its performance. Businesses specify the parameters for notification, such as connection timeout in seconds, acceptable buffering time, and expected bps (bits per second) rate. This information is entered into a sophisticated monitoring system, and then the specified site is monitored from 12 strategically located worldwide stations.
Monitoring Streaming Content
Sites that provide numerous pages of streaming content will benefit most from the addition of real-time video stream functionality to Dotcom-Monitor’s service package. The monitoring service is especially beneficial to sites with a tremendous amount of content that is difficult to monitor. Dotcom-Monitor’s service, however, can make this task seamless. Dotcom-Monitor keeps track of multiple performance metrics, such as Connection time, Buffering Time, Received Packages, Buffering Packages, Frame Rate and Average Bytes per Second. By analyzing those metrics one can determine quality of the service over periods of time and if necessary make needed adjustments/
Entire Suite of Services
Video monitoring is just one facet of the complete services package provided by Dotcom-Monitor. Its success is a direct result of its comprehensive and sophisticated systems and analytical capabilities. Rather than a typical connectivity test, Dotcom-Monitor’s services produce an environment of dependable website QoS, which is a critical component for a successful online business.
Even if a site’s appearance and performance appear to be acceptable from one browser, access may be difficult elsewhere. Dotcom-Monitor uses 12 monitoring stations around the world to ensure that access to a site is not impeded from any location.
By subscribing to Dotcom-Monitor’s services, corporations can feel confident that their online infrastructure is up and running, no matter where the site is accessed. Corporations that are alerted to problems will use their own resources to solve identified issues, but they will be able to address complications immediately and directly. Extensive reporting in real time, using easy-to-understand graphical charts that describe performance and variations, will offer a further advantage.
Instant Notification
Dotcom-Monitor’s services enable clients to choose not only a preferable means of notification but also the appropriate people in the corporation to alert, notifying them by telephone, pager, or email when there is any degradation of streaming content or any other site issue. Alerts are issued immediately, so that problem solving can commence as quickly as possible. Dotcom-Monitor acts as an insurance policy on the uptime and performance of critical media content, an assurance that most companies cannot afford to go without. Any business that relies on the Internet and must validate QoS and Service Level Agreement requirements can do so easily and inexpensively by implementing the tools offered by Dotcom-Monitor.http://www.dotcom-monitor.com |

AXIGEN Mail Server & eDirectory Services Integration
|
|
|
1. Preamble
This article focuses on the integration between the AXIGEN messaging solution and the eDirectory Services product developed by Novell. The actual level of interaction between the solutions is limited to the user authentication process. Specifically, by following the steps described herein, you will be able to allow the authentication process, that AXIGEN usually performs using the internal database, to be outsourced into eDirectory. This simplifies credential management and ensures password consistency across multiple applications and network services.
2. AXIGEN Configuration
Prior to proceeding with the AXIGEN / eDirectory Services authentication configuration, you need to enable the LDAP interface for the Novell eDirectory service. Please consult the eDirectory user manual provided by the product vendor on how to achieve this if not already enabled.
Before the AXIGEN server can authenticate account credentials using eDirectory, you need to create an LDAP connector suited for this process:
- Log in with an administrative user that has sufficient privileges in the AXIGEN WebAdmin interface;
- Go to the LDAP Connectors tab in the Clustering Setup context;
- Add a new LDAP connector or edit an already existing one;
- Enter the IP / Hostname and Port values that reflect the eDirectory configuration;
- Specify the server type as OpenLDAP, as it closely resembles the eDirectory setup;
- Select the Use anonymous bind radio button;
- Enter the Account base DN value. Should look similar to dc=novell, dc=local;
- Leave the other options unchanged (should be set to default if already modified) and save the new configuration.
Next, the authentication method has to be changed in the AXIGEN configuration. Note that this setting is global and affect all services that interact with account login processes:
- Go to the Routing and Authentication tab in the Clustering Setup context;
- In the Authentication Type section, select LDAP Password from the drop down box;
- Select the Novell eDirectory connector you configured in the second drop-down box;
- Click the Save Configuration button at the bottom of the page.
After these two procedures are completed, the AXIGEN Mail Server services will perform a LDAP lookup for the uid attribute of each eDirectory entry and match it against the AXIGEN account name. This enables all accounts to log in using their eDirectory credentials and perform a bound lookup after being correctly authenticated.
