Why to pay tens of thousands $$$ for your network management software?
NG-NetMS is a new end-to-end network management platform for your Linux servers, Cisco, Juniper, HP and Extreme routers, switches and firewalls.
NG Net-MS was developed by network engineers for network engineers. Long time ago we've been given a job to troublehsoot and maintain very large, very complex, diverse and very dynamic network. It was real pain and required very long working hours, working weekends, poor diet and many unhealthy life choices...
And literally none of the existing tools could help us to keep up with the challenge. So, we started writing own Perl scripts to automate some tasks, then C/C++ programs to collect massive flows of logs and eventually PHP web interface emerged to visualise it all. NG Net-MS is a framework made of these parts. Each part was made in hopes to be best of breed one day. NG-NetMS is complex, dynamic organism that lives and breathes your networks and IT systems. It knows when things change, shows hidden problems, draws the maps, finds lost hardware, discovers something new every day.
NG-NetMS does not need a live network to do it's job. It can also do post-mortem forensics based on log archives, and manually collected output from the equipment.
We love it. It is our eyes and ears into cyberspace. Personally, I feel blindfolded if I have to troubleshoot the network without this tool.
NG-NetMS is precise, quick and efficient. It collects most complete information about the network inventory, topology, map of IPv4 addresses quickly and with minimum hassle. Most important you will be able to collect, process and analyse events and alarms both in near-real-time and in historical view in a new way.
We successfully used NG-NetMS for delivery of network assessment services for our customers worldwide for many years. And now we want to share this unique and fully functional tool with community. It is not capped in terms of performance or number of nodes. The only limit is the hardware you deploy it on.
We commit to keep NG-NetMS in Open Source domain.
