To ensure your network delivers the high standards of availability you demand, you have to keep track of all components – 24 hours a day, every day. You need a solution that detects and displays all your network devices, connections and services. And it has to be able to pinpoint and resolve bottlenecks and other potential problems, before they become major headaches. theGuard! NetworkManager does all this and more.

This cutting-edge software tool recognizes all your network devices and their connections, depicts them in real time, and monitors the availability and performance of network services. With its unrivalled user-friendliness and efficiency, theGuard! NetworkManager is the ideal solution for managing multi-vendor networks.

theGuard! NetworkManager monitors the availability and performance of all network devices (hubs, routers, switches, servers, and storage resources), and of all other SNMP-enabled, IP-based equipment. These components and their status are displayed in real time. What’s more, you can analyze data to spot long-term trends and optimize the performance of your network. And you can monitor network services based on protocols such as TCP, HTTP or FTP. theGuard! NetworkManager also features an integrated service level analyzer. This enables you to define tailored service-level rules for network services, generating considerable potential for savings.

Time is money: To perform their day-to-day activities quickly and cost-effectively, your administrators need a bird’s-eye view of the entire network – no easy task when each component has its own vendor- and device-specific attributes. theGuard! NetworkManager is the only software solution capable of detecting all network devices – from all vendors.

Devices and their attributes are depicted via a single, user-friendly graphical overview. This is made possible by over 280 integrated, product-specific modules (PSMs) developed by REALTECH, and regularly updated and enhanced. A list of all currently available PSMs can be found at www.realtech.com/psm

theGuard! NetworkManager not only allows for the monitoring of your network components, but also the centralized administration of all configuration parameters. No matter, whether to create network-wide VLANs or to roll out new firmware versions, theGuard! NetworkManager enables you, to administrate and control it through its new Provisioning modul (optional).

Together with theGuard! ServiceDesk the information base fits seamlessly into an enterprise-wide CMDB. Our IT service management policy strictly follows the guidelines of ITIL's configuration and change management.

No Experiments! It it's about telephony, any risk won't be accepted. The spoken word still is the most important communication medium for the user. Thus great demands are made on network management.
