WHY IS THE STUDY OF COMPUTER NETWORKING STUCK IN THE DARK AGES? MMC Software Poses The Question - Why Are IT Students Forced to Study Networking Using Old Fashioned Methods?
DUBLIN, April 8th -- Newcomer to the industry, MMC Software, has launched a new tool to help students of IT truly see computer networking as it is. Instead of relying on static network diagrams scrawled on a white board, IT educators can now use the Network Hawk (NH) suite of software to provide vivid 3D renderings of network activity in real-time.
As the newly launched NH website (http://networkhawk.mmcsoftware.com/) demonstrates with it\'s screenshots and video recordings of the software in use, this new approach to IT training really does break the mold for how students will learn and understand networking in the future.
Developed with the help of professional IT trainers and lecturers, this new software has been created specifically with the classroom in mind. \"We know from our own educational experiences that sometimes the ideas being taught are too complex for diagrams and flowcharts to explain\", said one of lead members of the development team behind the NH software.
By listening in on network traffic, NH is able to build a 3D representation of the network and show exactly how the different computers are communicating. The user can watch how data is being transferred and truly grasp what is involved in opening a website or sending an email. Educators can show the students whats happening in real-time or they can record network traffic for later playback in the classroom. Also included in the software suite is a network simulator which can be used to demonstrate a larger or more complex network than the one actually available.
A fully functional trial can be downloaded from the official NH website (http://networkhawk.mmcsoftware.com/) and the product can be purchased with an academic license for €225 or €40 for personal use. This includes the entire NH suite of programs, as well as 1 year of free support and the unique 100% money back guarantee offered by MMC Software.
