Orion Network Performance Monitor - Version 10 Now Available!

Orion NPM delivers a robust feature set that enables you to increase network performance and availability, while improving IT efficiency. Plus, it is incredibly easy to use and is highly scalable and expandable.

Orion NPM enables you to quickly detect, diagnose and resolve network performance problems and outages. It offers out-of-the-box network-centric views that are designed to deliver the critical information network engineers need. And Orion NPM is the easiest product of its kind to use and maintain, meaning you will spend more time actually managing networks, not supporting Orion NPM.

Now at version 10, Orion Network Performance Monitor makes managing dynamic networks easier than ever. New features include ConnectNow™ topology mapping, virtual datacenter monitoring, automated network discovery, a completely redesigned navigation system, in-product notifications, and Syslog and SNMP trap improvements.
