Big-Picture Network Administration

 

See more. Solve more. Save more.

 
An integral part of the FrontRange Infrastructure Management solution family, DiscoverNET™ is a scalable, distributed network management solution that allows administrators to remotely monitor, analyze and manage their enterprise with a graphical representation of discovered nodes.
 
DiscoverNET provides unparalleled ease of use and is tailored to the needs of both small and large companies. Product installation can be completed in a matter of minutes for quick time to benefit. Key features include:
 
  • DiscoverNET console with real-time network monitoring
  • Ability to monitor remote domains and segments
  • Detailed analysis and trend reporting
  • Remote desktop management capabilities
  • Enterprise scalability
  • Integration with HEAT® Service & Support™ for service views and the ability to launch tickets directly from an object
 

It all starts with network management protocols

 
Comprehensive and agile, DiscoverNET includes support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) to handle the broadest range of management protocols. DiscoverNET provides administrators with a simple set of operations that allow devices to be remotely monitored, configured and controlled, reducing the cost of managing devices.
 

Better distribution means increased scalability

 
DiscoverNET supports the management of multiple distributed domains, allowing each server to import the map of any and all remote servers in the enterprise. For polling, distributed agents monitor the status of alarm thresholds for discovered devices by using SNMP requests, saving long-term node statistics in a local database.
 

Two consoles for interface convenience

 
In addition to providing local user access, DiscoverNET supports remote console access in Web-based and Java™ platform environments, and the Java™ console is optimized for low-speed WAN lines, so outsourced administrators and help desk professionals can still maximize the monitoring capacity of the system. The Java™ console’s basic functionality includes topology maps, event log views and real-time graphical displays.
 

Getting the optimal view

 
DiscoverNET offers extensive topology options, supporting hierarchical maps that can represent different views of your operations, from stratospheric to granular. A hierarchy can represent cities, buildings or subnetworks, and you can import bitmaps of geographic areas or floor plans to create a layout that best resembles the actual network.
 

Comprehensive monitoring keeps you up on events

 
DiscoverNET polling capabilities are wide-ranging and all-inclusive. On an administrator-set schedule, it delves into all manner of protocols for event discovery and reporting, including SNMP/ICMP, Web, FTP, SMTP and TELNET. Once reporting parameters are set up, polling agents compare the received data against baseline data, generating alarms when deviations occur. In addition, you can manually configure alarm thresholds for any polled variable, and arrange for alarm notices to be sent when these thresholds are tripped.
 

Desktop management

 
DiscoverNET takes advantage of management capabilities, known as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), that are native to most Microsoft operating systems. WMI capabilities include the ability to remotely inventory, manage and view associations—all without adding an agent. The services control interface provides the ability to remotely start or stop services on a machine. DiscoverNET also gives administrators a variety of additional remote management capabilities via a user-friendly interface.
 

Longitude gives you context

 
Find out the state of your networks over time with DiscoverNET trend reporting capabilities. The application automatically generates prescheduled daily, weekly and monthly statistical reports, abiding by the parameters an administrator has previously set up. These reports, which include graph, bar chart, distribution and summary analysis, can then be exported to printers, files or a Web server. Archived reports/statistics are saved to industry-standard ODBC databases for quick reference and retrieval.
 

Customize for your enterprise

 
There are a number of ways that DiscoverNET is customizable. The built-in MIB compiler helps you shape polling data, and you can create your own MIB expressions. In addition, by using the MIB navigation tool window, you can make custom tables and menus, which can display MIB tables; edit, graph, or chart any MIB variables; and run an application.
