Explore new WAN & VoIP monitoring features in Orion IP SLA Manager & then download a free trial! Discover how Orion IP SLA Manager monitors VoIP & WAN performance by tracking key edge-to-edge router & VoIP performance statistics using Cisco IP SLA technology.

Orion IP SLA Manager continues to deliver network monitoring features aimed at improving your ability to identify site-specific or WAN-related network performance issues from the perspective of each of your remote sites.

With the latest release of Orion IP SLA Manager, we’ve added support for two new Cisco IP SLA operations:

• ICMP Path Echo
• ICMP Path Jitter

These powerful new features provide insight into the response time and inter-packet delays along a given tracerouted network path. Additionally, Orion IP SLA Manager will automatically discover existing, manually created operations on a device – simplifying IP SLA management on your distributed network.

As the next generation of the Orion VoIP Monitor module for Orion NPM, Orion IP SLA Manager delivers a powerful network monitoring and management solution for identifying site-specific or WAN-related network performance issues from the perspective of each of your remote sites. With this Orion module, you can quickly discover which devices on your network support Cisco IP SLA and automatically set up IP SLA configurations. Once configured, Orion IP SLA Manager makes it easy to keep a close eye on your key WAN applications and monitor the performance of a wide range of underlying network protocols, including DNS lookups, FTP, HTTP, TCP connect and UDP/ VoIP jitter. Like NetFlow, IP SLA technology is included free in the IOS of most Cisco WAN devices.

• Automated Device Discovery - simplifies setup by automatically discovering IP SLA capable devices and adding them to IP SLA Manager for activation. IP SLA Manager now scans your entire Orion device list and automatically imports IP SLA capable devices into the Orion IP SLA database. Once imported, devices are ready for automatic activation. This time-saving feature eliminates the guessing game of trying to determine which devices are IP SLA capable and which are not.
• WAN Performance Dashboard - build a custom dashboard that gives you at-a-glance insight into all aspects of WAN performance, including a global snapshot of all of your IP SLA operations. Handy Top 10 lists detail critical IP SLA performance statistics, while WAN performance maps make it easy to visualize site-to-site network performance, including the direction of performance issues. Changes on the map help you quickly determine if a site is experiencing poor performance.
• Automatic IP SLA Setup - setting up IP SLA operations on your edge routers and switches is a snap. You won’t need any complicated CLI commands to get started; just a few clicks of your mouse and you’re off. First, select from a list of IP SLA operations you’d like to monitor. Next, choose the network devices that you’d like to apply the IP SLA operations to. Orion IP SLA Manager will automatically determine which devices support the IP SLA operations you selected and begin monitoring them.
• Advanced VoIP Monitoring - uses Cisco IP SLA technology to collect network performance statistics without intruding on voice calls. These statistics include MOS, VoIP jitter, network latency, and packet loss, giving you detailed visibility into VoIP performance. Plus, Orion’s network monitoring web console offers a unified view of overall network health as it relates to VoIP performance, as well as a one-stop shop for alerts and reporting.
