MSP Network management

Businesses operating in the IT landscape rely on their networks. But networks are complex and predisposed to constant evolution, and technological advancements only seem to increase their convolution. Modern-day networks house a deluge of physical and virtual components, employ advanced technologies, and are distributed across geographies, making them incredibly difficult to manage.

However, if not properly addressed, IT infrastructure management can impact a business on multiple fronts. Unfortunately, not all businesses possess enough resources, the necessary technical know-how, or a dedicated IT operations team to manage their networks. The only viable solution in sight for such businesses are managed service providers (MSPs).

Being an MSP offering network management services, you need a network management tool that provides a broad spectrum of functionalities. The right tool can help you manage physical, virtual, and hybrid networks, support devices from multiple vendors, and get complete visibility over distributed MSP networks.

The benefits of deploying network management software

  • Proactively monitor your clients' networks for faults. This helps you defuse issues before they blow out of proportion and lead to network downtime.
  • Meet your SLAs on time to avoid penalties.
  • Ease your technicians’ workload and provide enough scope for automation.
  • Reduce your mean time to repair by quickly narrowing down the root cause of the problem and following with immediate troubleshooting.

OpManager MSP software eliminates the need to have a local administrator present at each client's site; you can manage all client networks remotely.

From the remote central server, you can:

  • Discover devices, push configuration changes, and perform Level 1 troubleshooting tasks across all client sites.
  • Push software updates to all probes in the client sites.
  • Push licenses to all probes in the client sites.

Seamless, secure user management

Identity and access management is vital for data security. OpManager MSP's built-in user management functionalities eliminate the need for a third-party identity management tool. With OpManager managed service software, you can grant role-based access to users and authenticate them on multiple fronts, such as local authentication, Active Directory authentication, and RADIUS authentication.

OpManager managed service software classifies users as:

  • MSP administrator: Granted read/write access; can handle all clients
  • MSP operator: Granted read access; can handle all clients
  • Customer administrator: Granted read/write access; can handle a subset of clients
  • Customer operator: Granted read access; can handle a subset of clients

You can also grant customers read-only access to OpManager MSP if they so desire.

Network performance and availability monitoring

OpManager MSP helps you monitor crucial performance metrics for multi-vendor network devices, such as routers, switches, and servers, using SNMP/WMI. Using OpManager MSP, you can associate performance monitors with devices, set baseline thresholds, and monitor for violations. Performance monitors can either be manually associated with devices or can be automatically associated upon discovery using device templates. OpManager MSP’s device snapshot page displays real-time device performance stats. If the default performance monitors don't suffice, you can add custom SNMP monitors once you obtain the SNMP MIBs from the vendor.
