SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor

SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is a comprehensive network monitoring solution designed to provide end-to-end visibility and management of network performance, fault, and availability. Key features include multi-vendor network monitoring, which allows users to oversee their entire network infrastructure, including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. NPM offers deep packet inspection and analysis to quickly identify network slowdowns, and endpoint monitoring to improve overall network performance. It supports dynamic network discovery and mapping, enabling automatic detection and visualization of network devices and their performance metrics. The tool also includes advanced alerting capabilities with customizable, topology-aware alerts that help in quickly diagnosing and resolving network issues. Additionally, NPM provides detailed network insights through features like NetPath™ for hop-by-hop analysis, PerfStack™ for cross-stack data correlation, and Network Insight™ for monitoring complex devices such as F5 BIG-IP load balancers, Cisco ASA firewalls, and Palo Alto Networks firewalls. Users can generate and share custom network performance reports, monitor hardware health, and utilize intelligent maps for better data visualization. The platform is scalable, supporting up to one million elements per instance, and integrates seamlessly with other SolarWinds products for enhanced functionality, such as IP address management, bandwidth analysis, and network configuration management.
