New AMG System Completely Monitors All Devices on Any IP Network
AMG Systems recently launched its Net-Hawk IP Network Monitoring System. AMG’s new software system provides full visibility in the status and performance of servers, network devices, as well as any device on an IP network. With the utilization of the system’s advanced custom monitors for AMG switches, the status and operation of each device can be completely monitored.
Net-Hawk is a comprehensive end-to-end network monitoring and management solution that allows for the detailed visibility of each part of the network infrastructure, including end devices such as cameras, servers, and access control panels. “Monitoring is performed through a nearly limitless range of configurable monitors, providing insight into both the hardware and the application stack. Net-Hawk is vendor agnostic, making it ideal for multivendor platforms; if it has an IP address, it can be monitored.” AMG’s Net-Hawk also provides the full management of an entire network from a centralized platform. This includes the remote control of ports with or without POE, configuration backup and auditing, and also remote configuration deployment.
Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, confirms, “AMG is known for our innovative approach to product design. With today’s networks growing in scope, monitoring the network’s operation is paramount. By introducing Net-Hawk, we can provide that option to the users of our equipment, enabling them to monitor operations for all other devices on that network. This ensures a minimum of downtime and automates many processes,” Clarke concludes, “We’ve priced Net-Hawk very competitively and if you weigh cost versus benefit, we believe it’s a must-have for any IP Network.”
Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “Net-Hawk Config Management allows for flexible network configuration, configuration backup, remote control (i.e., reboot a camera), configuration auditing, and mass configuration deployment and firmware upgrade. Network device replacement can be configured using config backups with a replacement switch, eliminating the need for experienced network personnel to visit physical locations.”
“Our Net-Hawk System continues our quality standard and solidifies our leadership technology role in the market. Our sales and engineering teams reviewed the available options, identified the necessary features for our network monitoring system, and enhanced Net-Hawk accordingly. We believe in the quality and stand behind all our products with lifetime support. Plus, having a product made in the UK gives your network an added layer of security,” adds Frank Haight, AMG VP of Marketing.
