SolarWinds IPAM enables users to easily and efficiently manage, monitor, alert, and report on an entire IP address infrastructure from a powerful, centralized, Web-based user interface. It optimizes IP space and avoids IP address conflicts with automatic scans and preventive alerts, and coordinates team access with user delegation and role-based permissions.


With new IP address conflict detection, SolarWinds IPAM automatically detects duplicate IP addresses and sends conflict alerts for both static and DHCP environments and quickly resolves the conflicts using detailed IP address connection information.


SolarWinds IPAM now also integrates with SolarWinds User Device Tracker (UDT), an automated switch port monitoring and mapping solution, providing integrated endpoint tracking to improve troubleshooting and network access protection and to allow users to view IP addresses, switch port details, and user logins in a single window. With SolarWinds UDT, it quickly locates offending devices and suspicious users associated with an IP address and leverages current and historical endpoint connection data to resolve network issues.


SolarWinds IP Address Manager Highlights:
· Centralized IP address management, monitoring, alerting and reporting from an easy-to-use Web-based interface
· Integrated multi-vendor DHCP and DNS management and monitoring, including Microsoft, Cisco, and now BIND
· Real-time visibility into IP space usage with historical tracking information
· Automated, scheduled IP address scanning with customizable intervals
· Unified dashboard for "at-a-glance" IP address troubleshooting
