Hi I am currently trying to evaluate some server/network monitoring software and I am getting a little disheartened at software which promises to deliever everything but never comes up to the mark! Can anyone recommend something worth having a look at?<br />
What I want to monitor is:<br />
7 Windows 2003 servers (inc 4 DCs 2 of which are on remote sites and an Exchange server) <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- specifically the diskspace, CPU usuage and RAM usage but also all errors in the event logs on all servers.<br />
I also want to monitor our network kit which includes HP procurve switches and Cisco routers (handling VPNs to 2 remote sites)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- specifically I want to know what machines are using most band width and which protocols, I am aware of Cisco netflow but I can not find something that display all the information in a format which is simple to anaylise.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
