Unique Computer Services announced today the immediate availability of Release 2.9.1 of its netFLEX® Management System.

Providing end-to-end multivendor multi-technology network management, the netFLEX® system provides for faster service turn-up with rapid and error free provisioning, reduced mean times to repair via real-time fault management, and increased mean time between failures with advanced performance management for proactive network improvement.
