SolarWinds, a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today
announced its network mapping and discovery solution, SolarWinds Network
Topology Mapper (NTM) 2.0, extended its discovery and connection of virtual
hosts beyond VMware vSphere to include virtual machine mapping for Microsoft
Hyper-V, enabling complete mapping visibility of network and virtual resources.
SolarWinds NTM provides automatic network mapping and discovery, exploring an
entire network's routers, switches, servers, wireless access points, Voice over
Internet Protocol phones, desktops, printers, and other devices, and creating
comprehensive, easy-to-view and exportable network diagrams.
The latest version of SolarWinds NTM includes support for network mapping of
guest virtual machines to VMware vSphere and now Microsoft Hyper-V hosts. With
this new virtual host discovery, an IT pro with a mixed-virtualized environment
can graphically display a complete map of the network and virtual resources in
an IT infrastructure.
"SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper has grown from a smaller point solution
into a comprehensive network management solution, providing the in-depth
visibility of network maps that IT pros need," said Denny LeCompte, SVP of
Product Strategy, SolarWinds. "SolarWinds NTM users have taken to our thwack
community to help determine how we enhance our products and were instrumental in
choosing the features and capabilities of this new version of SolarWinds NTM."
SolarWinds NTM 2.0 also added capabilities allowing IT pros to modify node
display names, roles, IP addresses and connection relationships for customized
visibility; to create device connections on network maps manually; and to store
device credentials for easy future use. Users can also now schedule maps to
export automatically to the Orion Network Atlas for seamless transfer of network
node info into the SolarWinds Orion platform.
