IT-responsible Carsten Lausen, HOH Water
Technology A/S is a test customer on the server surveillance system, In´Sync,
and he is very enthusiastic: “It is simple and userfriendly, very effective –
and it saves me and the company for a lot of precious time” By journalist

It-responsible in HOH Water Technology, Casten Lausens job is to keep an eye on
the servers of the company. It is not the simplest task as they are located
three different places in Denmark, as well as Sweden, Norway and Finland. ”My solution was
to assign two hours every Friday morning to go through all the servers. I
rarely got through them all and it was very ineffective because consequently a
server could be down for six days before I noticed.” Casten Lausen explains. He discovered
that something was wrong when a college from another department for instance
called him and asked if something was wrong with the mail server because he
hadn’t been able to send or receive mails the last couple of hours. Avanced systems Casten Lausten and his colleges went searching for an appropriate server surveillance system. "“We search after
shareware and freeware on the net, but nothing fit our requirements. And those
that did was to complicated. We has a few consultants visiting form some of the
large companies in the software business. We had a few long talks and a two test
programs installed, but the systems were so advanced that an employee had to
get additional education just to adjust and maintain them. Besides they were
insanely expensive. They were not designed for a company our size.” Map with
“traffic lights” Then Carsten Lausen came in contact with NineWaves and René Nygaard. "”I explained my
problem to him and his reply was: ‘I’m sure we can solve it!’ It was very important
for us that the system was simple and user-friendly – I imagined something with
a black screen and some green dots, which go red when there are problems with
one of the servers.” Casten Laursen explains and continues: "”The solution
NineWaves came up with was both surprising simple and at the same time a lot
more in debt then I had imagined. Now I have as map on my screen and if one of
the green dots in east Jutland turns yellow, I know that one of hour servers in
Taulov is in danger of being overloaded. Actually it is so simple that I could
teach my seven year old daughter to keep an eye on the system!”" Huge marked Carsten Lausen
explains that he can set up the system so it warns him before something goes
wrong, and not just when the server is already down. That means that he or one
of his colleges has time to interfere before a problem is allowed to hinder the
rest of the employees of i HOH Water Technology in working. "”In’Sync is a
great product, and I’m convinced that here is a huge marked worldwide for a
simple surveillance system for servers in small and medium sized companies. A
program with the right price – that doesn’t require a lot of additional
education to use.” Casten Lausen points out and continues: "”Speaking for my
self, the program calms my stomach. The time when I used two hours on Fridays,
without getting through all the servers anyway, is over. Now I only have to
glance at the screen when a pass it. And had I not become a test customer, had
I bought the system anyway without hesitation. It is definitely worth the price
- and completely unique on the marked at the moment." Fact: HOH Water Technology A/S HOH Water
