Using Excel, PPT, and Visio to manage our network, we all end up at a crossroads, and we must find an alternative. Why is this inevitable?
- The network is always changing and evolving
- The change of management personnel caused the lack of network documents
- Our network managers also need holidays
Traditional network monitoring and management tools do a good job in monitoring alarms and network performance analysis, but they do poorly in network document management. For example: Is this server under warranty? Is it under maintenance? Who can I contact? Where is the network device located? Which computer room and cabinet are the equipment located in? ...
netTerrain is neither a monitoring tool nor a bandwidth or traffic management tool. However, if you are looking for an application to view the infrastructure of my network today, netTerrain is exactly what you need. Using netTerrain can update the network topology diagram in real time and provide a way to view the network diagram from the physical layer.
- You can select a suitable model to view and operate the network topology, organizational structure and mutual relationships;
- You can combine the logical network diagram with the physical view;
- You can view the entire data center floor and all the equipment in the cabinet;
- You can check the floor plan of the office and where the wall sockets in each room are located;
- You can view and record outdoor communication cables and equipment
