Vunetrix Manual: Welcome to Vunetrix Network Monitor
Welcome to Vunetrix Network Monitor! You have chosen an easy-to-use software product that comes with a powerful set of features to monitor your entire network.
Why Network Monitoring is Important
Today, most businesses rely on a computer and network infrastructure for internet, internal management, telephone, and email. A complex set of servers and network equipment is required to ensure that business data flows seamlessly between employees, offices, and customers. The economical success of an organization is tightly connected with the flow of data.
The computer network's reliability, speed, and efficiency are crucial for businesses to be successful. But, like all other technical objects, network devices may fail from time to time—potentially causing trouble and loss of sales, no matter what migration efforts have been made up-front.
Network administrators need to take three key steps to maintain network uptime, reliability, and speed:
- Set up a well-planned network with reliable components.
- Create recovery plans for the event of device failure.
- Monitor their network to know about failures as they build up or actually happen.
Vunetrix Network Monitor, the software described in this document, is a complete solution for monitoring small, medium, and large networks.
Monitoring Networks with Vunetrix Network Monitor
Vunetrix Network Monitor is a powerful network monitoring application for Windows-based systems. It is suitable for small, medium, and large networks and capable of LAN, WAN, WLAN, and VPN monitoring. You can also monitor physical or virtual web, mail, and file servers, Linux systems, Windows clients, routers, and many more. Vunetrix monitors network availability and bandwidth usage, as well as various other network parameters such as quality of service, memory load, and CPU usages. It provides system administrators with live readings and periodical usage trends to optimize the efficiency, layout, and setup of leased lines, routers, firewalls, servers, and other network components.
The software is easy to set up and use and monitors a network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), packet sniffer, Cisco NetFlow (as well as IPFIX, sFlow, and jFlow), and many other industry standard protocols. It runs on a Windows-based machine in your network for 24-hours every day. Vunetrix Network Monitor constantly records the network usage parameters and the availability of network systems. The recorded data is stored in an internal database for later analysis.
