SolarWinds Introduces Newest Free Tool: Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor
AUSTIN, TX, Oct 14, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- SolarWinds(R) Inc. (SWI), a
leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today
announced Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor, a free tool designed to monitor interfaces
with sub-second polling for quick and easy troubleshooting.
Several instances of Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor can be launched to monitor
bandwidth usage of many interfaces concurrently. The customer enters the device
information and log-in credentials, runs discovery to list all available
interfaces, then chooses one to monitor. Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor is a small
tool that can be minimized while in use to optimize desktop real estate.
"Customers that need really frequent polling will love SolarWinds Real-Time
Bandwidth Monitor," said Josh Stephens, SolarWinds' Head Geek and VP of
technology. "With this free tool, you see what is happening in real time when
making changes to the network, or try to catch transient network traffic issues
that might be hard to find with slower polling intervals."
Overall usage of network bandwidth can have a detrimental effect on all network
users' experience. Sometimes, it's important to know bandwidth at a granular
level, especially when troubleshooting or making network changes. Real-Time
Bandwidth Monitor is a great, free tool that ensures customers never miss spikes.
Pricing and Availability SolarWinds Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor is free and
available for download on the SolarWinds website along with over twenty free IT
Management tools (and counting).
