Unified View of On-Premise, Hybrid and Cloud Environments
A core component of SolarWinds’ Orion platform, Network Performance Monitor provides a powerful tool to quickly detect, diagnose and resolve network performance problems and outages - while seamlessly integrating other Orion modules to provide a consolidated, unified view of networks, applications, systems and databases on-premises, in a hybrid environment, or the cloud. With today’s user expectations of IT services being ‘always on’, it is ever more important to ensure you quickly detect, diagnose and resolve network performance problems and outages – before you start getting calls asking if the network is down. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor features (NPM 12.3) No.1 in network management software*, NPM provides out-of-the-box simplicity, so you can start solving problems, with multi-vendor support, customisable dashboards, views and charts to detect, diagnose and resolve network performance issues and avoid downtime. NetPath View hop-by-hop analysis along critical paths with traffic and configuration details of devices and applications. Cross-stack network data correlation, to accelerate root cause identification, with drag and drop network performance metrics for instant correlation across your network. Intelligent alerts respond to multiple condition checks, correlated events and device dependencies: network discovery and mapping. Automatically discover and map devices, performance metrics, link utilisation and wireless coverage: capacity forecasting, alerting and reporting. Calculate exhaustion dates using thresholds based on usage (peak / average). Intelligent maps: Aggregation and visualisation of data helps identify the root cause faster, even across complex infrastructures—comprehensive monitoring of F5® BIG-IP®, Cisco ASA and Cisco Nexus products. View the health and performance of your F5 service delivery, Cisco ASA and Cisco Nexus environments with Network Insight. End-user quality of experience: Packet capture and analysis to analyse changes in end-user experience. Is it the application or the network? Network performance baselines: Dynamically calculate baseline thresholds from historical network performance data. Hardware health monitoring: Monitor, alert and report on key device metrics, including temperature, fan speed and power supply. Customisable performance and availability reports . Create custom network performance reports with one of over 100 out-of-the-box templates—single-pane-of-glass network monitoring software—customisable web-based network performance dashboards, views and charts.
