- Avoid unnecessary visual notifications and alerts when users undock or shutdown their PCs
- Monitor infrastructure ports for up/down status while bypassing up/down notification for user ports
Remember the boy who cried wolf? Unfortunately, most network management systems similarly create false alarms or notifications. Thankfully, Orion NPM was design by network engineers, so we understand your pain and have added features to eliminate annoying false alarms and to make your life simpler.
Orion NPM's unpluggable port mode allows you to configure user ports to avoid unnecessary visual notifications and alerts when users undock or shutdown their PCs. However, you can continue to monitor critical infrastructure ports for up/down status. So, when a port goes down, you can be sure that it is an important network device, not just another user logging off for the day. Additionally, you'll still be able to monitor user ports for traffic and network health statistics when they are up!
"Orion has saved us more than $50,000 per year in maintenance costs, paying for itself times over within the first year." - Robert James, Networking Engineering Director, Dairy Farmers of America
