I. INTRODUCTION
Setting up a business is easy but to manage
the issues can be very challenging especially if it is
exposed to online presence. The computer networks
established by every enterprise can must be
monitored continuously, as every network is prone to
errors. It should not happen that because of the
network issues they might be losing potential users.
Therefore, it is important to minimize and manage the
faults and to troubleshoot them. Hence, integrated
software such as ManageEngine OpManager will
manage the entire network into a single exe [1]. The
improvement of network and performances is an
important aspect to keep the business at the top of
the leading industries.
II. MANAGE ENGINE OPMANAGER
ManageEngine OpManager is a type of
software which performs network monitoring and
identifies any faults and issues proactively within the
business enterprise networks. It provides an end-to-
end management service for
Diverse and multi-vendor business network. The
ManageEngine OpManager provides the following
functions: Network monitoring, Fault management,
Configuration Network Performance management,
Bandwidth analysis, Firewall management and IP
address management. It gives and integrated and
quick control over network faults [2]. It helps in
configuring devices and monitors and easily deploys
new devices in the network. The main aim of
ManageEngine OpManager is to monitor the network,
identifying the issues, fixing those issues and then
finds outs the root cause of the issues. The IT
companies basically relies on OpManager.
A. Network Performance Management
The most crucial aspect of every enterprise
and IT industry is Network. If the network is slow,
then it can adversely affect the productivity of the
business. This will generate a negative impact towards
the customer and ultimately the revenue. Network
management is the process of controlling and
managing of a network by using several technologies
and tools in order to enhance the performance and to
match the objective of business requirements [3]. The
motive of the network management is to gain a
complete error free network. The network
performance management is used to troubleshoot the
faults to ensure the smooth working of the network. It
involves manual or auto generated approach to
restore the network to its original condition. The
OpManger does this with the help of two tools. Inbuilt
tools like ping, MIB browser and traceroute and
Network Configuration Management module includes
automatic backups and changes occurring in the
configuration setting [7]. The OpManager gives an
opportunity to identify the faults pertaining in the
network. It allows to set thresholds, if any violation

occurs within the threshold then it notifies those via
email or SMS. Then the alarm raises alerts to look
after the fault.
B. Perfect fit for network monitoring
Network monitoring requires to keep a
continuous watch on the performance of the
network. The ManageEngine OpManager is a perfect
fit for monitoring network because it gives an
opportunity to resolve any network outrages instantly
and controls the further disruptions. The outstanding
features of OpManager is so powerful that it
proactively recognizes any issues pertaining in the
connection. Thus, the features can be summed up as:
 Monitoring the network devices.
 Gives clear understanding of network traffics.
 Troubleshoots problems occurring in WAN.
 Troubleshoots and monitor the performance
of VoIP.
 Changes the network automatically.
 Helps in Network mapping
 Provides NCM module
 Provides Server monitoring
 Gives Deployment
The ManageEngine OpManager is a tool that
is very easy to handle and affordable. The continuous
network monitoring helps in delivering the in-depth
visibility and securing the network [8]. It helps in
analyzing the real and root cause behind energy
errors and fault and then tends to eradicate it with
the help of its specialized features. Due to increasing
complex networks within an enterprise, a robust
monitoring solution like OpManager helps in
presenting a comprehensive solution to the problem.
This tool bears multi-vendor IT that is suitable for the
network in spite of the size.
