- Perform detailed inventory of network devices
- Build and maintain a configuration management database
- Save thousands by paying for network device maintenance contracts based on real inventory, not speculation
SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is not only a comprehensive configuration management solution, but is also a device management solution. SolarWinds NCM creates a detailed network inventory of all managed devices. Real-time network inventory reports are available directly from the SolarWinds NCM web interface or you can easily schedule these reports to be generated automatically and then emailed, printed, or exported to Excel, HTML, PDF, or a plain text file. Serial numbers, interface and port details, IP addresses, ARP tables, installed software and many other details are included in SolarWinds NCM's configuration management database.
Orion NCM's inventory reports can also help save you money if you have maintenance contracts based on the number of devices in your operational networks. Before Orion NCM, you probably had to choose between paying a vendor invoice "as is" or committing many hours to reconciling the invoice against what actually resides on your network. With Orion NCM, you can create inventory reports with the appropriate filters to select vendor and model types quickly, making it easy to reconcile maintenance contracts.
"Price is also worth mentioning here. With availability in September, Orion Network Configuration Manager Version 5 will be available with prices starting at $2,495, which includes a year of maintenance. This base price is roughly twenty times less expensive than any of the mainstream NCCM solutions!"
