Extending NPM’s Value - Examples
» NPM + NTA

your bandwidth is being consumed and by whom.
» NPM + SAM
 The monitoring of both physical and virtual servers and monitoring of
commercial, open source applications, and custom applications.
» NPM + UDT
 Adds “last mile” information into NPM, like information about user
connected to the port and possibility to shut down the port from NPM
web console.
» NPM + NCM
 See information such as Policy Violations and the End of Support Devices
which help complete the picture of the condition of your network.

Life After NPM v10.5
» Web based reporting UI with new "out of the box" reports with
charts

show historical charts

and nodes and wireless on the same page
» UnDP on maps with thresholds
» Small improvements and bug fixes (F5 interface polling, HW health
polling fixes, adding IP address on interface detail page, and more)
*PLEASE NOTE: We are working on these items based on this priority order, but this is NOT a commitment that all of these enhancements will make the next release.
