Network Mapping and Discovery Software Broadens Visibility With Added Support for Microsoft Hyper-V and Customizable Node and Device Mapping Capabilities

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired- Nov 14, 2013) - SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced its network mapping and discovery solution, SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper (NTM) 2.0, extended its discovery and connection of virtual hosts beyond VMware vSphere to include virtual machine mapping for Microsoft Hyper-V, enabling complete mapping visibility of network and virtual resources.

SolarWinds NTM provides automatic network mapping and discovery, exploring an entire network's routers, switches, servers, wireless access points, Voice over Internet Protocol phones, desktops, printers, and other devices, and creating comprehensive, easy-to-view and exportable network diagrams.

The latest version of SolarWinds NTM includes support for network mapping of guest virtual machines to VMware vSphere and now Microsoft Hyper-V hosts. With this new virtual host discovery, an IT pro with a mixed-virtualized environment can graphically display a complete map of the network and virtual resources in an IT infrastructure.

"SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper has grown from a smaller point solution into a comprehensive network management solution, providing the in-depth visibility of network maps that IT pros need," said Denny LeCompte, SVP of Product Strategy, SolarWinds. "SolarWinds NTM users have taken to our thwack community to help determine how we enhance our products and were instrumental i choosing the features and capabilities of this new version of SolarWinds NTM."

SolarWinds NTM 2.0 also added capabilities allowing IT pros to modify node display names, roles, IP addresses and connection relationships for customized visibility; to create device connections on network maps manually; and to store device credentials for easy future use. Users can also now schedule maps to export automatically to the Orion Network Atlas for seamless transfer of network node info into the SolarWinds Orion platform.
