InterMapper 3.7 Enters Beta-Test
Hanover, NH – October 24, 2002 – Dartware LLC announces that the first
public beta-test version of its InterMapper 3.7 software is now available.
InterMapper is a network monitoring application that continually checks the
networked servers and routers, switches, and other network equipment and
alerts the network manager when there are problems using audible alerts,
e-mail messages, pages, and running scripts.
InterMapper 3.7 has the following new features:
* Notification Dependencies. InterMapper will automatically suppress
notifications of outages that are caused by intervening device failures.
When a device fails, all the devices that become unreachable due to that
failure are dimmed on the map, and will not flash.
* Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) support. InterMapper has a
built-in notification method that uses SNPP to send pages.
* Built-in Paging via Modem for MacOS X. InterMapper supports the
ability to send pages using the Mac’s built-in modem or an external modem.
* Xserve probe. InterMapper will monitor an Xserve, and report when
there are problems. The network manager can then launch Apple’s Server
Monitor application to get detailed information about the problem.
* Remote map editing. When using InterMapper Remote 1.5 or newer, the
network manager can create, edit, and delete maps without sitting at the
InterMapper machine’s keyboard/monitor.
* Improved web page format. InterMapper now sports a new look for its
web pages.
* New security mechanism. InterMapper 3.7 has a built-in firewall to
help control which address may access the server, and who may access
individual maps.
InterMapper is priced by the number of devices being monitored. Pricing
ranges from $1,995 for an unlimited number of devices down to $295 for 10
devices; all licenses include a 60 day support subscription. Educational
discounts are also available.
