NEPM software facilitates true downtime and event detection, tracking, and correction, going beyond polling-based monitoring. The software offers unique links to reveal causes of downtime or intrusion and performance graphs to highlight network element throughput and error rate.
NEPM is a versatile software system that consists of two parts and provides comprehensive monitoring of any type of logged data from IP networked equipment. The system is highly configurable and can report data via E-mail and web pages. NEPM can track and report current conditions and history from systems based on Windows NT/2000 and UNIX operating systems. The system is capable of monitoring most major server, switch, and router systems without requiring the installation of agents on target systems.
NEPM allows simultaneous reporting on many networks that are behind separate firewalls from a central site, and even the hard-to-reach isolated networks can be accessed with ease. NEPM itself is system-independent and can be hosted on either a UNIX or WinNT system or a combination of these. Monitoring with NEPM includes uptime, critical events such as intrusion attempts, access rates, bytes-transferred rates, and error rates of network nodes.
One of NEPM's unique features is the precursor event links that drill down instantly to the causes of downtime and intrusion events, providing a holistic view of network performance. Performance graphs highlight element throughput and error rate, and software and hardware subsystems within nodes are tracked and reported separately but in a common format that allows for direct comparison. True hardware uptime is also reported, allowing hardware and software performance to be separated from that of communications links and from each other.
Summary reports and alerts aggregate a view of an entire network's status onto a single page. Reports are provided via web pages posted to a web server for instant access to results. E-mailed text alerts provide prompt notification of dangerous conditions. NEPM can be managed via a browser interface, allowing for full local or remote control from anywhere on the network. NEPM can be used to increase network uptime, increase network security, monitor QOS and SLA's, and evaluate new equipment. Equipment that can be monitored includes Windows or Linux/UNIX/FreeBSD servers, or any processor-based system that logs events to non-volatile storage and has a telnet/rlogin/ssh/IP stream-mode interface.
Overall, NEPM is an extremely useful software system for any organization that needs to monitor its network performance comprehensively. With its highly configurable options and system-independent functionality, NEPM provides an all-encompassing view of network performance that is both easy to use and highly informative.
