More often than not, business local area networks start off small, simple and organized; networks though have a tendency to become larger, more complex, disorganized and no more trouble-free due to the increased demands on the network's performance, technology shift and numerous other reasons. Network monitoring and tuning becomes more than what an administrator can handle, limiting his line of work to that of a fireman, spending all of his time in striving to keep the network running. Since hiring more administrators is not usually financially desirable or feasible, one may not wish to do so for many other reasons including security, required experience and more. A preferable solution would ideally aim in increasing the capacity and capabilities of the existing personnel; this is where the Total Network Monitor walks in.

A solution by Softinventive Lab Inc., Total Network Monitor aims to provide an automated and user-friendly way to monitor a local area network without needing to have a great deal of experience and long training sessions to learn to utilize it properly. Without restriction to the network's size, this solution can look over all of your network elements, continuously monitoring the health and status of each machine, whether that is a server, a router, a computer, a website etc. Considering therefore both software and hardware, the program presents to the administrator all the required details for each case, conveniently presenting status with 3 different colours, red (problem), green (running ok) and black (unknown, e.g. denied access).
