Network Monitors
Your network may be up and running, but that isn’t a constant guarantee. The best way to ensure any disruptions to a network’s functionality cause as little damage as possible to productivity is to employ network monitoring software that will quickly notify you of any change.
Software such as Wireshark and NetWorx will help you audit and monitor your network’s bandwidth usage and uptime, and will help you in maintaining efficiency and maximizing uptime.
