3 Auditing, Compliance, and Security Comply with security and regulatory standards (including PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA, and FISMA), organizational policies, and best practices. Detect changes in network topology, configuration, and performance and assess the resulting impact. Audit the production network configuration on a regular basis to detect configuration errors, non-compliance, and security gaps. Periodically audit against security standards like PCI-DSS Standard. OPNET NetMapper is the only solution that could address all our requirements. It automatically discovers and collects detailed network con-figuration data to generate nightly diagrams and inventory reports. In addition, it gives us views we didn t have before, such as combined layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity, as well as detailed routing and VLAN diagrams. Chief Architect, Data Center European Service Provider Network Documentation Diagram the physical and logical network based on a detailed, comprehensive, and up-to-date network model. Document network inventory and configuration (e.g., device, OS, key protocols). Troubleshoot using detailed physical and logical diagrams. Diagrams leverage operational data (e.g., Spanning Tree) to highlight protocol configuration errors. Report on network changes. Highlight new and modified devices to identify possible root cause of performance problems. OSPF Inter-Area and Intra-Area diagram, with drilldown to process and interface configuration. Based on the customized audit reports in OPNET Sentinel, we were able to enforce a global standard across the entire organization. The entire process is now automated, not only leading to significant cost savings, but also detecting policy violations much faster, before they affect service availability. As a result, we have been able to reduce network outages by as much as Network Architect Global News Organization 30%. With OPNET NetMapper, we are able to create a separate diagram for all 1,500 sites with a total of 2,900 devices across the entire state. We can refresh these sites weekly and use the diagrams for troubleshooting problems at remote offices without even leaving our desk. Network Manager IT Department US State Government
