Network infrastructure monitoring is critical to ensure business service delivery. Using multi-vendor IT infrastructure monitoring software can help reduce downtime, increase employee productivity, and improve ROI. SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM) offers monitoring for fault, performance, and availability using features like cross-stack network data correlation, hop-by-hop network path analysis, and much more. By leveraging these powerful network infrastructure monitoring tools, you can more effectively manage your network performance and act before service goes out.
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor infrastructure monitoring tools can allow you to expedite the troubleshooting process, leaving you with more time to focus on your business rather than network firefighting. You can use network troubleshooting tools to detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues quicker by automatically discovering and mapping devices, viewing real-time performance metrics, and more. With network troubleshooting tools, you can more easily fix performance issues and save your business from network outages.
Networks today often contain a combination of on-premises and cloud-based devices often not well covered by standard infrastructure monitoring tools. The Network Insight™ feature included in SolarWinds NPM can help simplify the management of complex network devices and infrastructures by providing actionable information for each device's unique role in the network. Network Insight for Cisco ASA and F5 BIG-IP can also help reduce visibility gaps into critical network switches, firewalls, and load balancers.
When your network infrastructure incorporates multiple different devices, you need an easy-to-understand, bird’s-eye view of your network. NPM is built to allow network admins to monitor performance metrics for each component in your network combined with hop-by-hop network analysis to enable more streamlined troubleshooting.
NPM is built to offer monitoring for your most important infrastructure components, including:
NPM is designed to provide the tools you need to quickly identify network performance issues by allowing you to leverage actionable insights, such as hardware health and capacity metrics, from devices with customizable network alerts.
Network infrastructure monitoring allows network admins to troubleshoot performance issues more efficiently and effectively.
The process of network infrastructure monitoring often begins with the comprehensive discovery of your network devices. To successfully troubleshoot performance issues, you should monitor the availability of each component connected to your network.
Network infrastructure monitoring can track a variety of on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure components, such as monitoring Cisco devices like Nexus and ASA to help you better understand and ensure network connectivity. You can also monitor a mixture of cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure like load balancers, firewalls, and hardware.
With network infrastructure monitoring tools, network admins can more easily identify the root cause of performance issues within network infrastructures. To detect performance issues, a monitoring solution can help you more easily track device availability, performance metrics, and faults within your infrastructure.
IT infrastructure monitoring tools should allow you to manage on-premises network components alongside cloud services to provide a more holistic view of network performance.
Automated alerts are also a key component of an effective IT infrastructure monitoring solution. To prevent a massive influx of alerts, your monitoring software should allow you to customize alert thresholds to trigger alerts to focus on the issues important to you, such as problems that can lead to poor end-user performance. These real-time alerts can allow you to troubleshoot infrastructure performance issues as soon as they arise.
For network admins, IT infrastructure monitoring tools should provide a comprehensive view of your network devices and their relationships with one another.
A common way to view network infrastructure is by using a network map. However, traditional network maps often lack critical information to help put performance slowdowns in context with network pathing. IT infrastructure monitoring views like NetPath™ can allow you to more easily understand the performance, traffic, and configuration details of devices in your network to more easily identify network issues and resolve slowdowns. Auto-generated network visualizations and interactive displays of devices, applications, networks, and vendors can also help you more quickly understand the network processes that contribute to connectivity issues to the services your end users care about.
A network infrastructure monitoring tool can allow you to prevent downtime and improve the end-user experience more easily by providing you with enhanced visibility of your environment and the relationships between devices.
Other advantages of network infrastructure monitoring tools include:
With such an extensive list of services that can help save time and money, an investment in network infrastructure monitoring software can help you provide better services that can result in bigger savings down the line.
