Wicked Fast Troubleshooting

Not everything is as it seems. Especially in the world of network and systems monitoring. How can you discover the truth? Find out who the good actors and the bad actors really are and respond quickly? Lumics is the answer. Lumics helps MSPs and internal IT teams monitor, optimize, and protect their communications and data flows and keep their networks green and golden.

The Network is Running, Man

11.14.2025
It’s not easy being a network or systems engineer. You work in the shadows, you drag cables through crawl spaces, you keep outdated and under-spec’d hardware alive as long as possible, and hardly anyone knows you’re there until something goes wrong. Lumics is the weapon of choice for the unsung heroes in that world. You keep the networks running, man! We’re trying to make your job, and your life, easier. We see you. We appreciate you. You keep us all connected and keep the data and dollars flowing! You got this.

Now You Ping Me

No sleight of hand here. Lumics is stealing customers from big incumbents in the network and systems monitoring industry who are changing their prices, ignoring their customers, and tricking them into buying packages of services that include stuff they don’t need. What we do isn’t magic. It’s just putting customers first and consistently doing the right thing.

On July 3, 1985 Marty McFly drove into his past in a flux-capacitor-fueled Delorean, an iconic stainless-steel sportscar that, in appearance, was the great grandaddy of the cybertruck.
When Marty later travelled to 2025 (this visit was cut from the movies due to time constraints ;-)) he met with some of his grandkids who had founded a network and systems monitoring tool called Lumics.
He told them that Lumics was “far out” and that he was proud of what they’d built and the type of people they had become. 
Lumics helps network and systems engineers stay on top of their most valuable asset – their communications and data lifeline – to make sure their businesses keep running smoothly and everything is groovy.
The Router Stuff

The Router Stuff

42 years ago, The Right Stuff launched. An exciting and entertaining tribute to the men and women who were willing to push the boundaries of what was possible with flight and space exploration, and who in some cases sacrificed it all to push the country, and the world, forward. Lumics honors the innovators, the inventors, the explorers, the risk-takers, and the bold souls who challenge the status quo to make the world better. Lumics helps MSP and in-house network and systems engineers keep their networks running smoothly. A critical, and mostly overlooked and under-appreciated role – until something goes wrong. Like many of the mostly forgotten, behind-the-scenes heroes of the early space program that, with creativity and ingenuity, helped our astronauts go where no man had gone before, the engineers we work with keep critical systems working in hospitals, airlines, banks, first-responder hubs, military bases, and more. We see you. We appreciate you. Our mission is to make your critical mission easier and less stressful.

Network and systems engineers are the mostly unseen protectors and miracle workers that keep our communications and commerce lifelines (networks and critical systems infrastructure) safe and working properly. Most of the time – especially when everything is good – you may hardly know they exist. Working in the literal closets, crawl spaces, and shadows they keep us connected and keep our hospitals, universities, banks, companies, entertainment, and social spaces operating as expected. Lumics supports these guardians with tools to help them excel at their critical mission. At Lumics we’re helping them serve up network miracles daily.
