AKIPS launched a FREE version of its Network Monitor software especially suited for Network Monitoring training providers and their students.
The best way to learn about networking is by using the latest leading industry standard network monitoring software. Today, students enrolled in networking training, such as CISCO's learning partner programs, now have the ability to utilize a fully featured limited version of the class leading Network Monitoring Software. The only limitation is the fact it only holds two days of data history, rather than the paid version ($USD15k Annual Subscription) which provides for a history of up to 3 years of data.
AKIPS Founder, Paul Koch said “the philosophy of 'Always Keep It Purely Simple' - AKIPS was at the heart of offering the free version. Students will appreciate learning on the actual software they are likely to utilize throughout their working life.”
“Once their employed in an enterprise and ready to move up to the full data history version they are already fully trained and realize that the offering is terrific value. The cost of deployment of AKIPS Network Monitor is the lowest of any competitor with the subscription price being the only cost to deploy on 99% of networks. Competitor software can require infrastructure that costs in excess of $1m to deploy. So the cost equation of AKIPS paid subscription with full data history is tremendous value.”
AKIPS Co-Founder, Nick Frampton “hopes all the upcoming Cisco (CCNA and CCNP) certified candidates can benefit from using real world software and be provided with a great insight into the workings of the IT network, irrespective of where they end up in the networking world.”
