"NetMapper is the only solution that could
nCompass
address all our requirements. It automatically discovers and collects detailed network configuration data to generate nightly diagrams and inventory reports. In addition, it gives us views we didn't have before, such as combined layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity, as well as detailed routing and VLAN diagrams.” Data Center Chief Architect European Service Provider
“With NetMapper, we are able to create a separate diagram for all 1,500 sites with a total of 2,900 devices across the entire state. We can refresh these sites weekly and use the diagrams for troubleshooting problems at remote offices without even leaving our desk.” Network Manager IT Department, US State Government
“What NetMapper just did in 5 minutes, takes me 3 weeks manually!” Network Manager Nationwide Television Broadcaster
Solution Overview OPNET Technologies, Inc.
Real-Time Network Visualization and Monitoring
nCompass provides unified, real-time visualization and monitoring of large, heterogeneous networks, including devices, their interconnectivity, traffic, status and events. nCompass unifies data from a wide range of network management tools, providing consolidated views for more intuitive and productive navigation and analysis. Third-party tools and scripts can be launched from the nCompass console for deeper drill-down and expedited troubleshooting.
Sentinel
Automated Network Documentation
Network Audit, Security, and Policy Compliance
Sentinel is a software appliance for ensuring network integrity, security, and policy-compliance. It performs automated network-wide configuration audits, analyzing an up-to-date model of your network to diagnose device mis-configurations, policy violations, configuration inefficiencies, and security violations. Sentinel enables organizations to reduce network outages, ensure network security, verify regulatory and policy compliance, and enhance staff productivity.
Network Planner Network Planning and Engineering
Network Planner automates analysis and planning of multi-technology, multi-vendor networks. It performs “what if” analyses to manage risk and cost associated with network growth and change – accelerating application deployments and migration to new technologies, such as VoIP, VPNs, IPv6, and more. Network Planner’s predictive design environment trends traffic growth for capacity planning, optimizes network designs to reduce the risk of downtime, and proposes QoS configurations to achieve desired network and application performance.
Accurate and up-to-date infrastructure diagrams are essential for troubleshooting, regulatory compliance, planning, and change management. Many organizations rely on labor-intensive and error-prone manual processes to update diagrams. The level of effort required to maintain up-to-date inventory and accurate network diagrams continues to mount as networks become increasingly complex, dynamic, and virtualized. OPNET’s NetMapper addresses this challenge by automatically generating up-todate infrastructure diagrams and inventory reports. NetMapper’s intelligent analysis and reporting engine: ■■ Automatically discovers network elements and configuration. Continuous
discovery captures all network changes. ■■ Creates high definition network diagrams by correlating configuration and
operational data. ■■ Understands multi-device relationships (e.g., HSRP, OSPF, BGP, VLANs, Spanning
