Upgrade SolarWinds Network Automation Manager NAM1000 nodes to NAM9000 nodes GEN2 - License Upgrade (Maintenance expires on same day as existing license)

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.

Benefits:

Advanced Network Troubleshooting:

Minimize network downtime and promptly identify, analyze, and resolve network performance problems. By analyzing and visualizing the service delivery path on a hop-by-hop basis using critical path, you have the ability to observe network performance and traffic details, no matter where the device is located.

Network Traffic and Bandwidth:

Get notified about the capacity and flow of data on the network with a level of detail as precise as one minute. Gather, oversee, and assess NetFlow, sFlow®, J-Flow™, IPFIX, and NetStream™ data for the purpose of determining the volume of traffic on your network and identifying the specific applications being utilized.

Automated Config and change management:

To ensure a swift recovery from hardware malfunctions and configuration mistakes, oversee, create duplicates, and efficiently implement network device settings. Get notified instantly about any changes and assist in ensuring that devices are properly configured and functioning according to regulatory standards.

Switch port and End-User Monitoring and Tracking:

Understand the utilization of switches and ports and identify switches that are close to reaching their maximum capacity. Ensure that you are aware of both the individuals and devices that are linked to your network, as well as the specific timing and location of their connection. Monitor the activity of devices connected to your wired and wireless networks by tracking their MAC and IP addresses.

Wan Performance Monitoring:

Cisco IP SLA technology allows for the simulation of traffic data to assess the network performance between a remote IP device or a Cisco router, monitoring the effectiveness of critical applications and services.

IP Address Management:

By automatically identifying subnets and conducting IP scanning, your network is thoroughly examined to provide insights into the utilization of IPs. Recognize the occurrences of IP conflicts, the exhaustion of subnets/scopes, or inconsistencies in DNS entries. Locate an available IP address and simultaneously create the DHCP reservation and DNS entries using a single console.

Features:

• Customizable, single-pane-of-glass network monitoring software:

  Create custom, web-based network, traffic, WAN, and switch port dashboards, views, and charts.

• Topology- and dependency-aware intelligent alerts:

   Respond to multiple condition checks, correlated events,network topology, and device dependencies.

• Real-time config change notification and compliance auditing:

  Receive details and comparisons of config changes to demonstrate compliance with regulatory

• IP alerting, troubleshooting, and reporting:

  Know when IPs conflict, subnets/scopes are depleted, or DNS entries don’t match.

• Automated capacity forecasting, alerting, and reporting:

  Automatically calculate exhaustion dates via customizable thresholds based on peak and average usage.

• Dynamic wired and wireless network discovery and mapping:

  Automatically map devices, display performance metrics, and link connection and utilization.

• Wireless network performance and traffic monitoring and management:

   Retrieve performance and bandwidth metrics for autonomous APs, wireless controllers, and clients.

• Integrated DHCP and DNS administration:

   Find an open IP and make the DHCP reservation and DNS entries in one motion from a single console.

• Monitor switch port usage to identify performance, users, and devices:

   Locate connected devices and users, investigate incidents, detect rogue devices, and monitor capacity.

• Hardware health monitoring and alerting:

  Monitor, alert, and report on key device metrics, such as temperature, fan speed, and power supply.

• Customizable performance and availability reports:

  Schedule and generate custom network performance reports with over 100 out-of-the-box templates.

• High availability:

  Instantaneous failover for your business-critical network management system.

• Dynamic statistical network performance baselines:

  Alert and report on deviations from normal operation by dynamically calculating baseline thresholds.

• Orion Remote Controller:

  Distribute load on your monitoring environment by deploying Orion Remote Collectors (ORCs) – lightweight polling engines. Supported with node-based licensing for NAM 2020.2.1 and SAM 2020.2.1.
