SolarWinds (SWI)
Managing networks can be a pretty complicated process, but SolarWinds makes software that tries to make it easier and more efficient. Not only that, they also have an online community called Thwack that helps users solve any problems or questions they have about a SolarWinds product.
SolarWinds Introduces the IT Industry's First and Only Free Configuration Change Management Tool With Community Integration -- Network Config Generator
powerful and affordable network management software to more than
88,000 customers worldwide, today announced the newest addition to its free
tool offering, SolarWinds Network Config
Generator, designed to simplify, speed-up and automate configuration
change tasks for network engineers.
"Commands for tasks like VLAN configuration -- which are executed less
frequently -- can be easily forgotten and are a pain to rebuild. With
Network Config Generator, network engineers can create a change template to
re-use for future configurations, saving time and frustration as well as
ensuring consistency in configurations across devices. They can download
new change templates created by the community and share their own, all
without leaving the tool. There's no other free tool like this," said
Stephens
Head Geek and Vice President of Technology.
To quickly change a device's configuration without looking up commands or
to apply a config change template across similar devices, network engineers
can simply select the variables and automatically generate standard configs
using Network Config Generator's intuitive user interface, reducing manual
input and configuration errors.
Network Config Generator highlights:
-- Get started immediately with "out-of-the-box" config change templates
to change interface descriptions and configure VLANs, switch port security,
NetFlow, and IP SLA.
-- Enable advanced features of network devices with an intuitive control
GUI.
-- Save time by generating advanced config change commands, made simple
with pre-defined templates.
-- Boost network performance by activating network device features
already purchased.
-- Download and share custom config change templates for additional
scenarios viaSolarWinds' online community's built-in Content Exchange
integration.
-- Enforce regulatory policies, drive consistent change-control
procedures and comply with Federal regulations such as FISMA.
Configuration management is critical for controlling and tracking changes
to the network. For a more robust configuration management, Orion Network Configuration Manager
(NCM) offers:
-- Ability to execute scripts and config changes, including those
generated by Network Config Generator, on multiple devices simultaneously
-- Nightly backups of configs
-- Real-time change notification
-- Config policy violation detection
-- Instant inventory of your network device hardware
Partnered with Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM), network
engineers achieve a unified, intuitive view into enterprise-wide network
health that displays configuration health indicators alongside performance
statistics.
