Extending NPM’s Value


Extending NPM’s Value - Examples

» NPM + NTA Your Orion console can become the access point to understanding how your

bandwidth is being consumed and by whom.

» NPM + SAM The monitoring of both physical and virtual servers and monitoring of commercial,

open source applications, and custom applications.

» NPM + UDT Adds “last mile” information into NPM, like information about user connected to the

port and possibility to shut down the port from NPM web console.

» NPM + NCM See information such as Policy Violations and the End of Support Devices which help

complete the picture of the condition of your network.

NPM – What We’re Working On


Life After NPM v10.5

» Web based reporting UI with new "out of the box" reports with charts Reports that will substitute legacy/old reporting and add possibility to show

historical charts TOP xx reports that show charts and detailed information about interfaces

and nodes and wireless on the same page

» UnDP on maps with thresholds

» Small improvements and bug fixes (F5 interface polling, HW health polling fixes, adding IP address on interface detail page, and more)

*PLEASE NOTE: We are working on these items based on this priority order, but this is NOT a commitment that all of these enhancements will make the next release.
