Thank you for choosing to evaluate the 8e6 Technologies ER Enterprise Reporter.
The ER is designed to readily obtain information about end users’ Internet activity via
log les (text les containing Web access data) from a source device such as the 8e6
R3000 Enterprise Filter.
ER “H” server models include RAID technology for fault tolerance and high perfor-
mance.
The ER is comprised of the ER server and client application. Once the ER server is con-
gured and log les have populated the database, an administrator can use the ER cli-
ent reporting application to virtually generate an unlimited number of queries and reports
from data in the database. This data shows which end user is accessing which site, the
duration of each site visit, and the frequency of these visits, and can help administrators
identify Internet usage abusers, develop policies, and target sites to be ltered, in order
to maximize bandwidth utilization and productivity. The client gives the administrator the
ability to interrogate massive datasets through exible drill-down technology, until the
desired view is obtained, and then memorize and save the view to a user-dened report
menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and distribution.
