About Net Inspector ---------------------- Net Inspector is a robust network management integration tool designed for monitoring and managing medium and large networks. For successful management of a distributed system you have to use efficient management tools. Management tools are usually designed for specific distributed systems like computer networks or public switch networks and they support a proprietary management protocol. Generally, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for the management of the distributed computer system. But there are still many devices that support only proprietary management protocols. Net Inspector is a network management integration tool which offers an easy way to manage different types of devices in distributed systems. Managed devices can support either a standard management protocol (SNMP) or any proprietary protocol. Net Inspector’s extensibility is achieved with various plug-in module interfaces (PFS - Proxy Front-end Server plug-in modules for communicating with various devices, UNC - User Notification Carrier plug-in for forwarding events and messages to users, ...). Net Inspector is scaleable. For the time being it is available in two versions. Net Inspector Lite edition, a standalone management platform which integrates functionality of the Client and Server mode. Net Inspector Client/Server edition, which allows distributed management with central network management and monitoring point to which one or more Net Inspector clients can connect in order to view the state of the managed network. =========================================================================== 3.
