• Monitor network performance indicators, such as bandwidth utilization, packet loss, latency, errors, discards, and quality of service for any SNMP-enabled devices
• Monitor disk space, CPU load, and memory utilization on network devices
• Conduct detailed performance monitoring and analysis of network elements
• Hover over a network object to see additional details about the object including status, IP address, machine type, and percent loss.

Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) provides comprehensive performance, fault management and network availability tools to ensure that your network is always running at peak performance. Via a cutting-edge, customizable web interface, Orion NPM gives you a unified view into the performance of thousands of nodes and interfaces on your network, all from a single web page, where you can drill into any element to see exactly what's happening.

Orion NPM’s web interface provides real-time views of network performance and availability statistics, as well as detailed monitoring and analysis of data from routers, switches, servers and any other SNMP-enabled devices. This performance monitoring data alerts you to poor network conditions like slow traffic, loss of packets, or impaired devices. The result is a comprehensive view of how the network is performing, providing you with the information you need to quickly isolate, diagnose, and repair problems before your pager starts buzzing.

With Orion NPM, you can also automatically monitor and set alerts on disk space, CPU load and memory utilization for your network devices. With out-of-the-box support for many vendors and operating systems, including Cisco®, Foundry®, Extreme Networks®, Motorola®, ARRIS®, Linux, Solaris®, HP-UX®, AIX®, Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP devices, Orion NPM ensures that you can easily collect and alert on conditions that could potentially cause a network outage or performance degradation.

Additionally, Orion NPM monitors disk space utilization for Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Sun, Novell, and other devices that support the host resource MIB. Orion NPM's sophisticated web interface includes a summary screen that quickly identifies the devices with the top 10 CPU load and memory utilization issues, so that you can always stay on top of what's happening on your network.

• Quickly and easily identify issues with the Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) highly intuitive, web-based interface
• Customize and view data in graphs, tables and lists
• Remotely view and administer network devices across your enterprise

When you need critical network information fast, you can’t waste time trying to reverse-engineer the thought process of whoever designed the cryptic user interface of your network management software. Orion NPM’s interface was designed by network engineers, for network engineers. We understand that you want to spend time managing your network ? not managing your network management software.

Orion NPM arms you with a highly intuitive, fully customizable, web-based interface. With point-and-click simplicity, the interface allows you to remotely view network fault, availability, and performance information through detailed graphs, tables and lists.

Using the same web interface, you can also perform administrative tasks such as adding new devices from anywhere on your network ? no more RDP’ing to your host monitoring server.? You can even import your own HTML code into the Orion NPM interface to create personalized views and screens, or customize views and access levels by user account.

Some of the most popular features of the Orion NPM interface include:

• Top 10 lists that give you at-a-glance visibility into? the nodes and interfaces experiencing the highest amounts of network traffic, capacity utilization, response time, memory usage, CPU load, disk space volume, and more
• Real-time network maps that enable you to create nested maps of your network by floor, building, department, or geography, enabling you to track live network performance by location;learn more about Orion NPM’s Network Map Maker
• Device troubleshooting displays that present critical metrics like CPU load, disk space, and memory utilization in a single screen, so that you can easily troubleshoot problems with network devices
• Custom HTML resources that facilitate creating highly customized views by importing your own HTML into the Orion NPM interface; with just a few mouse clicks, you can display a trouble ticket entry form, account history, or even a live feed to a web cam in your offsite data center
• Customizable web views that make it easy to change page layout, modify the types of information displayed, and customize toolbars; this ensure you can get the view you need to most effectively manage your network

• DIY Deployment gets you up and running in less than an hour
• Save time, money, and headaches

It’s not that we have anything against consultants. They’re usually nice, well-intentioned people. But if you don’t really need them, why hire them? Shouldn’t network management software be so fast and easy to deploy that you don’t need to bring consultants in?

Deploying Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is a simple three-step process. First, install and configure Orion NPM using a simple wizard interface. Next, let Orion NPM automatically discover your network.? Finally, begin monitoring your network for fault and performance issues. You’ll be done in less than an hour.? No consultants required.

Even better, with Orion NPM’s intuitive web interface, you won’t need to attend training classes, read books with large animals on the cover, or pour through manuals to start being productive with Orion NPM from day one.

• Define device dependencies
• Configure network alerts for correlated events (alert if X and Y are true)
• Set up network alerts for sustained conditions (alert if Y is true for more than 5 minutes)
• Escalate network alerts automatically
• Ensure you don’t receive unnecessary alerts and prevent floods of useless messages

Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) enables you to quickly and easily configure powerful network alert engines to respond to hundreds of different network scenarios, including multiple condition checks. These network alerts help you recognize and correct issues before your users experience performance degradation or availability issues. ?With alerting support for correlated events and sustained conditions, Orion NPM ensures that you don’t get paged at 3am unless there is a critical issue.

Additionally, Orion NPM can automatically escalate network alerts until a problem is resolved.

Orion NPM includes more than sixteen built-in network alert delivery methods and responses, including email, pages, SNMP traps, text-to-speech, syslog messages, and the launching of an external application.
