Reduce your network operation costs with Iris Network Systems
Iris Network Systems is an essential tool for ISPs and large enterprises to track the performance of their networks and save money through optimisation.
As a purpose-built network monitoring solution, it offers critical insights into the performance of networks, including everything from outages to user activity trends.
Based on this wealth of data, companies can refine their network consumption to run more efficiently and avoid unnecessary expenditures.
This is especially important for ISPs in 2025, as MyBroadband recently reported that many of South Africa’s largest fibre network operators (FNO) plan to hike their prices.
Such hikes will be forced onto ISPs, who must raise prices, negatively impacting customer retention and satisfaction.
ISPs can minimise the impact of increased FNO prices by optimising their network consumption and usage in partnership with Iris Network Systems.
We unpack how this works, below.
Total oversight
The Iris Network Systems solution is designed to provide users with the maximum amount of data possible, presented in a manner that’s easy to understand and act on.
The system comprises three core tools that work together to provide a full overview of network performance.
These three tools are Iris Core, NetFlow, and Maps.
Iris Core
Iris Core rests at the centre of the solution and creates reports and trend predictions that can be used to avoid future network issues.
It achieves this with a huge array of sophisticated features that monitor integral network functions, including:
- Efficient Data Acquisition – Iris implements an advanced SNMP polling technique to efficiently monitor large networking equipment, thereby minimising impact on network devices and sidestepping resource-intensive discovery processes.
- Integrated Troubleshooting – Iris consolidates data to enable effective troubleshooting.
- Enhanced End User Experience – Iris provides bookmarkable searches, personalised user dashboards, visualisation tools for information maps, and a robust reporting engine.
- Curated Data – Every data point collected is curated to ensure it’s as accurate as possible.
Iris NetFlow
Iris NetFlow is a comprehensive network diagnostic tool that provides the insights needed for maintaining a healthy network.
It allows ISPs to detect and solve bottlenecks, generate in-depth reports on network trends, and make informed decisions for expansions and upgrades with predictive analysis.
This data is available through the Iris Portal in the form of a single, comprehensive interface.
Iris Maps
Iris Maps provides users with a visually detailed map of critical network information in real-time – providing a dynamic resource that simplifies vital information into an easily-understandable format.
The generated maps can be customised to fit a company’s needs and preferences and cover various mapping frameworks.
This makes it easy to understand the most important parts of your network and where changes could be made for improved efficiency.
