Bringing SNMP and Legacy Together...

It would be a simpler world if all DPS equipment had to do was talk to itself and contemporary devices & RTU’s. Our engineering teams wouldn’t work any overtime, our monitoring topologies would become cookie cutter, and of course our customers would have a lot less money.

Why? Because you would have to throw out every legacy piece of equipment and alarm collection device that doesn’t natively speak SNMP. You would have to spend lots of capital budget as well as manpower resources to upgrade transport equipment, switching equipment, power systems, and environmental systems. Though we are all migrating at various rates to: Higher bandwidth, SNMP, Modern, Better, Advanced, etc, - The truth of the matter is that we all still have a lot of older gear that just CAN’T be replaced right now or all in one chunk.

This is what we call Legacy. Legacy exists in network infrastructure, including some alarm monitoring gear itself. At DPS provide the bridge between the old and the new. We provide smooth transitions between where you are and where you want to be with your network monitoring plans. This issue will provide insight into the ways you CAN IMPROVE your current legacy situation.

I’m also pleased to announce “DPS Ultimate Care” for your DPS RTU’s. Previously, only T/Mon users had the benefit of extended coverage. “DPS Ultimate Care” when combined with our standard 2 year hardware warranty provides coverage for 7 FULL YEARS, plus lots of extras.
