With InterMapper, network managers get complete visibility of their network, no matter how small and centralized or large and distributed. Live maps give a visual, real-time view of traffic flows through and between network elements and links. Status Windows and Strip Charts provide easy access to critical network data (traffic, errors, utilization and outage information) simplifying problem diagnosis and device maintenance.
InterMapper shows you potential network problems -- often before users and customers suffer downtime or poor performance. SNMP and ping probes discover and query elements across your distributed network - whether it spans several rooms, a building, an office park, or distributed locations. Synthetic transactions test critical applications and alert you to email, web, or directory server problems. The fully integrated InterMapper Flows module analyzes network traffic and tells you who is generating network traffic during specific time periods and where they are located. You gain highly detailed network traffic analyses that reveal bandwidth hogs.

InterMapper provides a network management solution that installs quickly and easily, autodiscovers and creates a map of your network and its interconnections in less time than it takes to describe it and lets you do useful work right away.

Under the covers theres a lot more to see that will make your job easier and life a lot more pleasant. InterMapper lets you know there are problems before the phone calls start coming in and helps you plan for the future.
