Network Device Monitor, Client and Server
What is it?
Network
Device Monitor, NDM for short, (the server), allows a network administrator to
poll and scan multiple network devices at set intervals to ensure they are
operational. Should a device fail and not provide a response to NDMs request,
an alert is generated. These alerts comprise a popup, an email notification and
client PC notification for immediate response. A client application is provided
which connects via TCP and a TCP/IP port. All errors, or non-responses, are
logged with other logging enhancements available.
NDM can poll hundreds of network devices, web
servers; you name it! You can use IP or DNS name! NDM has full DNS name
resolution.
One customer, who uses NDM, is a large hotel with
multiple wireless guest Internet access points, several business networks,
servers and routers. NDM polls each of these devices and alerts IT staff when a
failure occurs. It is better for the IT crew to know that a device has failed,
powered off, or worse yet, be stolen, before the big boss does!
