Orion Network Performance Monitor 1.2 Review
Tired of not knowing your bandwidth utilization on your servers, routers and networks? Looking for a cost effective fault management solution that provides a full Web interface? The Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) from SolarWinds is the answer.
The Orion NPM is a full featured fault and bandwidth performance management application that allows you 7x24 access to alerts and bandwidth utilization via any web browser. The Orion NPM is customizable allowing you to set alerts for everything from node availability to percent utilization on a single interface. Like all SolarWinds Networking tools, the Orion NPM installs in minutes and allows you to begin viewing results in less than an hour: simple, fast and complete.
The advanced graphing and monitoring capability allows you to quickly assess the utilization of your network circuits and work with your service provider to ensure you are being billed appropriately. Now you can measure and track your utilization yourself instead of waiting for a service provider to tell you need to purchase more. The Orion NPM utilizes SNMP and does not require you to install any additional hardware or software on your network. The fault management alerting capability of the Orion NPM will give you the piece of mind knowing you will be the first to know of a network outage or performance issue. No more surprises.
The fact that the Orion Network Performance Monitor is web enabled means that engineers and managers will have immediate access to the current status of the network. You can even customize the views to allow certain departments or customers to only view "their piece" of the network. Whether you are in the NOC or a remote office everyone has access to the same real-time view of availability and traffic utilization.
