Maximize Your Effectiveness

With the right tools, problems can be solved quickly and easily. SwitchMonitor collects error and utilization information from your network switches. The information is analyzed and presented in an easy to digest format to help lead you to the root cause of your network problems.

Proactive Problem Detection

Conscientiously evaluating your network's overall health can prevent your team from dropping into "fire-fighting" mode. SwitchMonitor can help you determine which network links are getting saturated, and where the bottlenecks are. A daily network " Weather Report" can be emailed to you and your team to help keep you on top of which interfaces require attention.

If you would like to receive a sample copy of this report, send an email to SwMonSample@NetLatency.com. No subject or text in the body of the email is required.

Deep Problem Isolation

Determining the source of a problem can be tricky without the right tools. SwitchMonitor can pinpoint the specific errors that are occurring on an interface, and help lead you to the solution rapidly. Each error counter includes a description of the error in both technical and lay terminology, and many different possible causes.

Rapid Installation and Configuration

The initial installation and configuration can be completed in under 10 minutes for virtually any sized network with the Quick Config Wizard. This wizard will scan your network and monitor all of the switches it discovers. View a sample of the installation and setup process.

Rapid Re-Configuration when your Network Changes

When your network changes, and switches are added or removed, you can rapidly update your configuration using the Quick Config Wizard. It will detect new switches and include them in your configuration, and start monitoring again.
