Network Automation Manager 

The larger and more complex the network, the greater the need for network automation and integrated operations monitoring and management. SolarWinds® Network Automation Manager (NAM) is designed to cover large or complex environments with comprehensive performance, traffic, WAN and switch port monitoring, automated change and configuration, and IP address management in a single, unified software solution.

ADVANCED NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING

Reduce network outages and quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues. With critical path hop- by-hop analysis and visualization along the service delivery path, you can view network performance and traffic details, regardless of device location.

NETWORK TRAFFIC AND BANDWIDTH ANALYSIS

Alert on network bandwidth and traffic patterns with up to one-minute granularity. Collect, monitor, and analyze NetFlow, sFlow® , J-Flow™, IPFIX, and NetStream™ data to identify how much traffic is on your network and which applications are being used.

AUTOMATED CONFIG AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Monitor, back up, and bulk-deploy network device configurations, so you can recover quickly from hardware faults and configuration errors. Receive real- time change notifications and help ensure devices are configured and operating in compliance with regulatory standards.

SWITCH PORT AND END-USER MONITORING AND TRACKING

Know how switches and ports are being used, and which switches are nearing capacity. Know who and what is connected to your network, and when and where they’re connected. Track endpoint devices by MAC and IP address on your wired and wireless networks.

WAN PERFORMANCE MONITORING

Using Cisco® IP SLA technology, you can simulate traffic data to test the network between Cisco routers or a remote IP device to monitor the performance of key apps and services.

IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT

Automated subnet discovery and IP scanning scours your network, so you know how IPs are used. Know when IPs conflict, subnets/scopes are depleted, or DNS entries don’t match. Find an open IP and make the DHCP reservation and DNS entries in one motion from a single console.
