Net Optics Director Platform Now Integrated with SolarWinds Network Management System to Improve Management of Network Infrastructure
Participation in SolarWinds Technology Partner Program Enables Interoperability between Net Optics Director and SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – June 02, 2010 – Net Optics, Inc., the global leader in intelligent network access solutions, today announced its participation in the SolarWinds® Technology Partner program through the integration of its Net Optics Director Platform with SolarWinds Orion® Network Performance Monitor (NPM). Prospective and existing customers can now leverage this integration to manage the monitoring access layer of their network infrastructure.
SolarWinds and Net Optics users now have the capability to discover their Management Access Devices that enable them to set traps and alerts. The Net Optics Director platform and SolarWinds Orion NPM communicate using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), management information bases (MIB), and traps (asynchronous alerts). By integrating Director DIR-3400, DIR-5400, and DIR-7400 devices into Orion NPM, network managers and architects can extend visibility and manageability to the network’s monitoring access layer, driving cost-saving and revenue-enhancing improvements in overall network reliability, performance, and maintainability.
“Director is one of our most powerful and most popular tools,” stated Bob Shaw, president and CEO of Net Optics. “It enables users to increase network visibility by tapping into all of their network traffic and intelligently routing it to the tools they choose. Similarly, SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor easily and cost-effectively organizes changes in network environments, improving the network’s manageability, availability and performance. This partnership allows users to access, monitor, manage, and troubleshoot their most important network assets.”
The Net Optics Director responds to the need for 100 percent visibility of digital traffic in today’s complex data, voice and video networks. Director’s filtering capabilities increase the efficiency and performance of tools attached to network links, while the passive nature of Director ensures network reliability because it does not affect network performance or provide a point of latency or failure. Designed for easy deployment and management, included Indigo software supports remote, centralized control and enables management of exactly which traffic is directed to each tool. IT professionals use Director to leverage their existing monitoring tool investments by aggregating and switching traffic so tools can see more of the network, by sharing tools among groups, and by relieving oversubscribed tools through dynamic filtering.
Orion NPM is SolarWinds’ flagship product and delivers powerful, easy-to-use features designed to support the real-world network management challenges that IT teams face. Orion NPM makes it easy to quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve performance issues within the dynamic network environment. The solution delivers real-time views and dashboards that enable users to visually track network performance. As the foundation of the Orion family of products, users can add additional modules to their Orion NPM deployment, as needed, to build an IT management system that fits most companies’ evolving needs – from configuration, to application performance, to network traffic performance. Orion NPM is available via the SolarWinds website.
