SolarWinds NCM provides automated network configuration and compliance management with configuration backup, alerting and reporting, allowing IT pros to stay ahead of network issues with immediate visibility into the cause-and-effect relationship between configuration errors and network performance.


What's New in SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager:
Device End-of-Life Management enables IT pros to track end-of-sale and end-of-life dates to prepare budgets and replacement plans for Cisco and Juniper devices. With this information, administrators can identify obsolete, underperforming or non-compliant devices and quickly replace any weak or soon-to-expire routers and switches that could pose operational or security threats to the network.


Global device connection profiles allow users to manage new routers and switches faster and with less error and to detect correct credentials by creating standardized and reusable device profiles that define access attributes like connection type, ID, password, and more.


SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager Highlights:
· Detects harmful configuration changes and provides real-time alerts
· Automates change control workflow and bulk configuration updates
· Performs configuration backups and restores device settings
· Allows assessment of configuration compliance against standards like SOX, FIPS, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST and more
· Supports a wide variety of network devices including firewalls, routers switches and more
