PRTG Network Monitor 7.0.9.2193 is the powerful network monitoring solution from Paessler AG. It ensures the availability of network components while also measuring traffic and usage. It saves costs by avoiding outages, optimizing connections, saving time and controlling service level agreements (SLAs).

PRTG Network Monitor provides uptime, performance and usage monitoring for LAN, WAN and VPN networks with up to 30,000 sensors. The built-in web server and the AJAX-based web interface make it easy to work with its powerful features like the fully automatic network discovery, device assessment and sensor configuration system, as well as comprehensive alerting, reporting and mapping features.

Optimize Your Network and Avoid System Downtimes Businesses increasingly rely on their networks to move data, provide communication, and enable basic operations. Performance loss or system outages can seriously impact the bottom line of your business. Continuous network and server monitoring enables you to find problems and resolve them before they become a serious threat to your business:

• Avoid bandwidth and server performance bottlenecks
• Deliver better quality of service to your users by being proactive
• Reduce costs by buying bandwidth and hardware based on actual load
• Increase profits by avoiding losses caused by undetected system failures
• Find peace of mind: As long as you do not hear from PRTG via email, SMS, pager, etc. you know everything is running fine and you have more time to take care of other important business

Your Entire Network at a Glance PRTG. Network Monitor covers all aspects of network monitoring:
up-/downtime monitoring, traffic and usage monitoring, SNMP, NetFlow, packet sniffing and many more, combined with concise reporting and analysis features – one clear and simple solution for your entire network. 

Bandwidth and Network Usage Monitoring. The software runs 24/7 on a Windows-based machine within your network, recording network usage parameters. Recorded data is stored in a database for historic reports. The easy to use web-based user interface allows to configure the devices and sensors that you want to monitor. You can create usage reports and provide colleagues and customers access to graphs and tables. All common methods for network usage data acquisition are supported:

• SNMP and WMI. WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) are used to gather bandwidth usage and performance data for all systems within your network, including port-by-port usage data for switches and routers.
• Packet Sniffing. With its integrated packet sniffing capability PRTG can inspect all network data packets travelling in your LAN or WLAN to calculate the bandwidth usage.
• NetFlow. The NetFlow protocol is supported by most Cisco routers to measure bandwidth usage. It is the most powerful monitoring method, suitable for high traffic networks.

Performance and Availability Monitoring. PRTG Network Monitor includes more than 40 sensor types for all common network services (e.g. PING, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, etc.), allowing to monitor your network systems for speed and failures. As soon as outages occur the software will alert you by sending emails, SMS, pager messages and other notifications. Request times and downtimes are constantly recorded in the database and you can compile performance, downtime and SLA reports at any given time.
