Let me introduce Enigma NMS from NETSAS – http://netsas.com.au

Enigma NMS is a true enterprise grade network management and
monitoring solution trusted by Queensland Government, where it has been
deployed in many departments managing and monitoring many thousands of network
nodes, servers, environmental equipment and applications.

It empowers network support staff with functionality, which
allows them to provide superior and proactive network management services to their
users.  Enigma deployment resulted in
increased network availability, revenue and sharp reduction in effort required
to support their very large and complex enterprise network and server

makes is ideal network management and monitoring solution for enterprise
environments of any size and complexity.

Fully customizable and integrated carriage management module
provides clear and detailed view of your entire networking environment
including connected WAN and MAN links, VLANs, MPLS VRF, IP Routes, Network

Following are examples of operational challenges, which
network managers could face on daily basis.

Enigma NMS can provide quick answers to all following
questions and many more:

• How many network nodes in my network and what vendors they
belong to?

• What hardware models I have in my network?

• What hardware modules are installed in my network devices?

• What is my network physical and logic topology?

• What IOS versions out there in my network and where they
are?

• What maintenance contract I have and when they expire, so
I can renew them in time?

• How many IP Subnets in my network and where they are,
which next IP Subnet I can use, are there enough free IP addresses for new
client machines?

• 30 Network Nodes went down 10 minutes ago, which node is
to blame (root cause).

• What Microsoft product I have installed on all my PCs?

• Are any of my application servers running out of memory or
disk space.

• I want to monitor all my databases and web servers and be
notified when they die.

• How many TenGigabit links do I have and what they are?

• Do I have any duplicate IP Addresses and where they are?

• How many Vlans and VTP domains out there, where they are
and what nodes/interfaces belong to particular Vlan?

• How many physical trunks there is and where they are? I
want them to be monitored automatically?

• How many physical trunks went down today, last week or
month and for how long, are they connected to WAN carriage?

• What are the mostly utilised links or all links showing
errors or discarding packets?

• Are there any links with duplex mismatch, which will cause
severe performance degradation?

• Our users are complaining about slow application response,
can I quickly identify if there is anything wrong with my network or they
should to talk to application support staff?

• What is my network availability, monthly, weekly, daily?

• How many outages were in my network and what was the
outage reason?

• I want to know what the maximum traffic utilisation on
gigabit access ports in my network.

• What my engineers doing on network devices?

• What is my network availability yearly trend, is my
network becoming more or less stable?

• What SLA my network devices are covered by?

• What carrier services are being used in my network and what
nodes/interfaces they are connected to?

• Which client devices, e.g. Printers, Servers, Workstation,
etc are connected to my network and what their names?

• If I take down particular network node for maintenance,
how many network clients will be affected and what they are?

• Which traffic is traversing my network and possibly
causing congestion?

• What are the top talkers and applications consuming my WAN
bandwidth, is it all legitimate traffic, who is accessing what on Internet and
when?

• What is the latency across my network?

• We need to roll out new application, do we have enough
bandwidth capacity for it?

• New application requires 5 new servers with gigabit NICs,
do we have enough network port capacity in our data centre?

• How can add or change access-list to 500 network devices
without having to telnet into each device?

• How many devices have been rebooted last night and why?

• At remote site, I need to provide network connectivity for
10 more people, do I have enough network ports?

• What is the status of my UPS? Are the batteries still in
good condition or need to be replaced?

• Cisco TAC has sent me critical bug notice, how I can
quickly identify network nodes which need IOS upgrade?

• Are there any multi-cast (Video) streams in my network and
where they are coming from, if one of my IP Video camera goes off the air can I
quickly find it?

• What spare network equipment I have and where is it, do I
have enough spares to support my entire network infrastructure?

• Have the configs on my network devices been changed
yesterday, last week or month? Who and when made the change?

• Have all my network devices configs been backed up?

• My core switch went down last night, why? What was state
this device was at the time of the failure and what is the most probable cause?

• Can I suppress all alarms from affected nodes during
scheduled maintenance?

• One of my application servers died Friday night, which was
not discovered till Monday, where is it connected to the network? I want to be
notified next time it happens.

• What Cisco hardware visible on the network, which is not
in my management database?

• How many Cisco IP Phones out there and where they are,
what are the extension numbers, users names etc?

• We have purchased new Voice-grade WAN link to overseas,
can I monitor that the carriage provider is giving me the Quality of Service I
have paid for?

• Are there any unauthorised wireless devices, which could
pose security risk and how long have they been connected to the network?

• I would like all HP, Cisco and 3COM network devices ONLY
to be discovered and added to the database.

I think PerfMan is one, but there are likely many others such as HP OpenView and so forth.

What if I’m interested in collecting the same performance data for a production system but I don’t want to watch PerfMon all the time? Is there a way of capturing and logging the data collected by my Performance Counters so that I can analyze my system’s performance data periodically as opposed to in real-time?
