“We have chosen Elecard Boro because of suitable licensing model and the possibility to distribute multiple probes in the network. Possibility to record video signals provided by the contribution network has improved troubleshooting process. Elecard Boro allowed us to improve our ability to guarantee SLA. Elecard engineers implemented the special feature for us that allowed archiving thumbnails on external storage which was very helpful. In the future we plan to increase the number of probes and involve more employees in a project. Elecard sales managers and engineers have been kindly available to help us despite some particular hitches due to the company nature.”
