GroundWork Releases Network Management Suite (NMS) 2.1

Today GroundWork announced the availability of version 2.1 of its Network Management Suite (NMS).

The new version of NMS, a part of the GroundWork Monitor Enterprise family, is composed of four modules including: Network Discovery with NeDi, Traffic Graphing with Cacti, Protocol Analysis with ntop and Network Mapping with Network WeatherMap. These popular network management projects have been downloaded over 700,000 times. GroundWork has integrated and extensively tested the latest, stable versions of these open source projects to ensure they will work seamlessly with GroundWork Monitor Enterprise. Some of the key benefits of NMS 2.1are single sign-on, simplified installation, consolidated monitoring data and comprehensive online user documentation integrated with GroundWork Monitor.

GroundWork NMS 2.1 consolidates open source point solutions that are in widespread use, into a cohesive whole, reducing deployment and support costs that are typically encountered in open source solutions. In addition, NMS subscribers obtain commercial support for these successful open source projects as well as integration between the different tools and GroundWork Monitor — all at a fraction of the price of what would be paid for comparable offerings like HP OpenView Operations and Network Node Manager.
