We are pleased to announce a major backend update following the earlier release of OpenText Universal Reporter 1.4.
Universal Reporter generates reports automatically for MSPs, which are shared with their clients, covering Endpoint Protection, DNS and WSAT. This allows the MSPs to spend more time on their clients rather than on manual report generation.
Robust and reliable report generation is now ensured by the service enhancement implemented by the DNS team, powered by the transition to OT’s own Vertica database platform from Cloudera.
Significant performance gains from interrogating the huge DNS databases now hosted on Vertica are observed.
Enhancements:
- Improved reliability of batch report generation for MSPs
- Speedier generation of DNS reports
Coupled with the earlier release of DNS tally reports, Universal Reporter now offers a comprehensive suite of automated DNS and other reports generated robustly on demand or on a schedule.
