Version 3.6 of Dartware’s InterMapper, a network monitoring and alerting program, will be unveiled at next week’s Macworld San Francisco, as will the company’s new InterMapper Remote.
The application — which is designed to provide detailed information about the uptime and availability of network devices, servers and links — now includes probe timing and extensive logging facilities to help network managers monitor the service levels provided by their ISPs. InterMapper saves info such as packet loss, response time and availability to log files, and network managers can review stats monthly to decide if the service level matches the agreement. According to MacTech magazine, new 3.6 features include:
InterMapper 3.6 supports InterMapper Remote, a new remote viewer application that provides a live display of maps of the network via the Internet. It, too, will be unveiled at this week’s MWSF.
InterMapper 3.6 is priced by the number of devices being monitored; pricing ranges from US$295 for 10 devices to $2,395 for unlimited devices. InterMapper Remote 1.0 serves up a graphical view on the health and status of a remote network. It shows which servers and devices are down, where heavy traffic is flowing and where other network problems lie. It gets its data from an InterMapper server running at the network site being monitored. Its features include:
InterMapper Remote 1.0 is $195 with 60-day support. Educational pricing and additional support subscriptions are also available.
