EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
University of Brighton, operates a complex higher-education network supporting teaching, research, and essential campus services. The Network Services team is responsible for maintaining availability, security, and consistency across approximately 900 network devices.
Challenge 1: Multiple independent tools
Prior to ThirdEye, the network was managed using several small, independent tools. Some of these products were approaching end-of-life, while others addressed only specific operational needs. This resulted in:
-
Multiple point systems requiring constant attention
-
Increased operational overhead for routine tasks
-
Limited ability to view the network estate holistically
-
Difficulty tracking device versions and lifecycle status
-
Inefficiencies when handling adds, moves, and changes
Challenge 2: Multiple operational challenges
Before adopting LogicVein’s ThirdEye Suite , the university faced several operational challenges:
-
Multiple point solutions for network management, increasing complexity and overhead
-
Limited flexibility from single-vendor systems that were evaluated
-
Time-consuming handling of routine operational tasks such as adds, moves, and changes
-
Lack of a centralized, up-to-date view of device inventory, versions, and lifecycle status
-
Difficulty planning refresh projects without clear visibility into end-of-life information
The Solution
LogicVein’s ThirdEye Suite was selected to consolidate network monitoring and configuration management into a single, flexible platform.
The objective was not simply to replace individual tools, but to reduce operational complexity while improving visibility and efficiency. Deployment began in April 2022 and was completed without issue. Any minor issues encountered early on were resolved quickly, supported by regular product updates and responsive vendor support.
Results and Benefits Since deploying LogicVein’s ThirdEye Suite , the University of Brighton has achieved measurable improvements:
-
Improved visibility through a comprehensive and searchable inventory of network equipment
-
Operational efficiency gains by completing routine tasks more quickly from a single interface
-
Simplified adds, moves, and changes using powerful search and filtering capabilities
-
Improved planning and budgeting through dynamic views of device versions and end-of-life status
-
Secure, centralized device access via SSH and HTTPS with session logging
