Most companies find the need to monitor the daily functions of their network for added assurance that everything is working well. A network monitoring software is important for these companies since it helps them oversee the communication and operations within their local computer network. With this software, they can map out all their critical network elements like mail servers, WAN links, business applications, and their entire LAN infrastructure that includes wireless routers, nonstandard devices, printers, load balancers, and switches.
How else can this software help?
Software designed to monitor your network can also check for viruses, virus attacks, and server downtimes and uptimes. Other versions even include backing-up your important folders and files as well as giving you an overview of your bandwidth usage while monitoring traffic so you can find any congestions in your network. The monitoring can be done either internally or manually.
Standards
Network monitoring should still be based on particular standards so make sure that your software still abides by regulations like the SNMP (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol) so you can simplify the installation and set-up.
Types
The availability network monitoring software works by determining which of your devices are working properly and which ones need to be repaired. This is a very basic monitoring system overseeing all your network elements while allowing you to monitor each of the terminals.
On the other hand, the proactive software can provide 24/7 surveillance when it comes to detecting network faults. Furthermore, it monitors the host resource, threshold violations, utilizations, service availabilities, and service response times while monitoring the network's health to prevent any possible failures.
NetworkView 3.6 is a compact network discovery and management tool for the Win32 platforms : in a few minutes, NetworkView 3.6 will discover all TCP/IP nodes and draw a full graphical map (including routes) using DNS, MAC Addresses, SNMP, NetBIOS, WMI and TCP Ports information. It can also poll the network and send an email when nodes are unreachable. With more than 28000 entries in its SNMP and MAC addresses databases, NetworkView 3.6 can be used from a FLOPPY DISK ! Full print and print preview capabilities for maps and lists.
