Key Benefits - Troubleshooting
Reduce downtime; just being able to see ‘what-is-connected-where’ makes troubleshooting problems, planning change, assessing risk more accurate and less time consuming.
As more applications and connected devices depend on IP networks for their functionality, porttracker eases the burden for network management by giving a clear picture of what is connected where.
Rack cabinets full of switches with network cables connected say very little about how many switch ports are regularly in use, porttracker inspects every switch port and displays its operational status and the time it was last used.
porttracker solves the problem of having to trace cables in order to see which port a network device is connected to, making porttracker an invaluable tool for network and IT administrators who would otherwise be faced with extensive cable tracing and guesswork.
At any time portttracker can provide a snapshot of all 'currently active', 'previously active' and 'never been active' ports on the network, allowing network managers to ensure there is enough spare switch ports present in advance of an IP telephony rollout or expansion programme.
Furthermore porttracker can be used as a standalone appliance or derive considerable additional benefits by adding a sync module to feed information automatically into your existing network management tool, so that it can be accessed in a familiar environment by your operational staff. porttracker currently synchronizes with VitalQIP which is the complete software solution for automating IP address management services across your network - qsync
