Envivio (NASDAQ:ENVI) has introduced its Guru 4.0, an enhanced version of its network management system (NMS), intended to simplify video network management and facilitate service automation. Formerly called Envivio 4Manager, Guru 4.0 includes an improved user interface, as well as enhancements to monitoring, connectivity, device auto-discovery and scheduled service control.

Guru Service Scheduling is designed to allow operators to automate video service features at the service level, instead of needing to adjust specific devices. For example, the operator can use the Guru user interface to schedule blackouts, logo insertion or live-to-file recordings for a specific channel, at a particular day and time.
