As you no doubt have seen throughout this book, SolarWinds built Orion NPM to be a robust product and it has the capability to monitor almost every aspect of your network. However, it is solely focused on monitoring your network equipment. What if you want to monitor NetFlow from your routers and switches? What if you need to be able to back up you configurations for your routers and switches? How about finding out how many Exchange server e-mail transactions are occurring, checking the latency of your web applications running in the cloud, and what if you need to be able to keep track of your public and private IP address space? To solve these questions, and many more, SolarWinds has several other products that extend Orion NPM's core functionality.
Each product is unique in what features they bring to the table. The additional SolarWinds Orion products are as follows:
Network Configuration Manager
Server & Application Monitor
Patch Manager
Web Performance Monitor
IP Address Manager
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer
VoIP & Network Quality Manager
User Device Tracker
