NetBeez Is An Enterprise Network Monitoring Startup Using Raspberry Pis To Simulate Users
Summary
U.S. startup NetBeez, which was founded in April and recently graduated from the Pittsburgh-based AlphaLab accelerator, is developing a tool that uses multiple Raspberry Pis to monitor network connectivity and notify administrators when a problem is detected. “NetBeez is a tool to validate network changes and catches outages before they affect the end user,” explains co-founder, Panagiotis Vouzis. Current monitoring tools give a detailed view of the routers and switches, but they miss the information about the connectivity of the end user. This is cumbersome, costly, doesn’t scale, and cannot be applied to every change.” This is where NetBeez steps in and installs Pis running its monitoring software (aka Beez) behind the switch — aka “exactly where the end-user connects” — thereby giving the network engineer visibility on whether configuration changes done in the middle of the night are going to affect all the local office workers in the morning. The Beez acts as a proactive and distributed network monitoring tool that catches problems that remain undetected by the current state of the art.
