Centralized Probe Management for Enterprise Networks

In the arena of network management, IT Administrators depend on remote monitoring solutions to manage, analyze and monitor every network segment from one central location. Many organizations deploy multiple, even hundreds of probes for complete network visibility. For years, IT Departments have turned to the award-winning Network Instruments Observer® console and Advanced Probes for complete, comprehensive remote network monitoring.

For these enterprise organizations, Network Instruments has released the Network Instruments Authentication Server (NIAS) for assistance in managing the security and authentication parameters for multiple console/probe connections. The NIAS is ideal for enterprise organizations required to frequently change user names and passwords to comply with network security regulations. This easy-to-install software solution makes authenticating users safe, secure and simple by providing centralized management of all Probe users and all Probe passwords.

With the NIAS you can:
   • Authenticate users from one central location
   • Manage user permissions globally
   • Choose the most suitable authentication scheme:
            – Authentication through Active Directory
            – Internal NIAS authentication
   • Keep track of all probe access activity (including both successful and unsuccessful events)

With the NIAS IT Managers can grant access permissions based on group ownership or probe ownership.
