Mutiny

Ixian Solutions focuses on delivering best-in-class datacentre solutions and our partnership with Mutiny extends our ITIL expertise in the crucial Service Level Monitoring and SLA reporting market segment.

Mutiny is a unique product within the wide and complex market of network management. It is a product designed by Network Administrators with the user in mind. Its role is to offer a pro-active, uncomplicated solution to everyday problems and it does this by communicating effectively and unambiguously with the Administrator, in advance of network problems.

We believe that competitor products are often too complicated for users to obtain the most benefit from them. Too often, we have seen organisations invest in training and knowledge of a complex network management product, for the individuals to then leave the organisation, losing talent and expertise and wasting significant investment in training and in-depth knowledge. Mutiny is above all a team solution, as relevant to the Networking Team, as to those managing server infrastructures and applications.
