Comply with Regulatory and Security Standards
NetMapper provides standard-compliance documentation that identifies all network elements and how
they can be accessed. NetMapper’s accurate network
documentation ensures a successful network audit
and enables compliance with regulatory and security
standards such as:
n PCI Data Security Standard
n SOX Section 404 Documentation Requirements
n FFIEC IT Examination Handbook
n DISA Network Infrastructure STIG
Accelerate Network Troubleshooting
NetMapper’s detailed physical and logical views help
pinpoint configuration and connectivity issues quickly with
direct insights into configurations and routing views. Diagrams can be customized with additional administrative contact details or other information for faster
troubleshooting and problem resolution. Multiple users can access network diagrams
via the web, or print diagrams with customizable layouts and page formats.
Manage Changes Effectively
NetMapper applies a unique, semantic approach, combining the industry’s leading auto-discovery, configuration parsing and analysis, and connectivity inference to interpret network configuration data
with expert knowledge. NetMapper uses this wealth of
information to provide reliable, detailed information
about the network—assisting effective change management by generating up-to-date diagrams on demand to keep up with the high frequency of changes.
Reduce Operational Costs
Organizations using NetMapper obtain immediate ROI by eliminating hundreds of hours
spent on manually keeping diagrams up to date. Automation of the network diagram generation process not only reduces manual effort, but also minimizes the risk of human error.
NetMapper’s ready-to-use templates and customizable options simplify diagram configuration
with options to display tables and annotations that describe both physical and logical connectivity in addition to the network topology.
Microsoft Partner
NetMapper generates diagrams in Microsoft Visio format, the industry standard
for network diagrams. OPNET is a member of Microsoft’s Visio Toolbox Partner
Program.
