You've got a tough job. Your mission – which yes, you already chose to accept – is to deliver 100% availability of all network resources and to keep a close eye on the performance of every device, server, and application in your infrastructure, while everything is constantly changing (of course). It's not easy. But if you could design a network monitoring solution to make your life easier, what would it be? Quick to set up? Elegantly simple to use? Scalable to accommodate your network growth? Supported by a global community of network engineers like you? And inexpensive?
It's not that we're psychic. We were founded by network engineers who know what it takes to manage complex networks; they pooled all of their "what if's" and designed Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM): a comprehensive, web-enabled, fault and performance management solution that gives you broad visibility across your network.
Orion NPM enables you to quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance problems and outages. Out-of-the-box, it offers network-centric views that are designed to deliver the critical information network engineers need. And Orion NPM is the easiest product of its kind to use and maintain, meaning you will spend more time actually managing networks, not supporting Orion NPM.
Network Performance Monitoring Highlights:
- Monitors and analyzes real-time, in-depth, network performance statistics for routers, switches, wireless access points, servers, and any other SNMP-enabled devices
- Simplifies network issue investigation with drill down maps and Top 10 views of your global network
- Gets you up and running in less than an hour with do-it-yourself deployment
- Scales to accommodate growth and management needs with a hot standby engine, multiple polling engines, and additional web servers
- Enables advanced alerting for correlated events, sustained conditions, and complex combinations of device states
- Monitors the energy consumption of Cisco® EnergyWise-enabled network devices and displays policies that regulate energy consumption
- Extends management capabilities to NetFlow traffic analysis, IP SLA monitoring, IP address management, network configuration management, and application and server performance
