ManageEngine announced the launch of TopoMapper Plus, the L2 network mapping software.

TopoMapper Plus automatically discovers the network and renders a live, up-to-date L2 map of the data center or enterprise network.

The company will be launching its new product just in time for the London DCIM Meetup it will be sponsoring on November 19, 2013, at the Hilton London Metropole Hotel. The DCIM Meetup helps IT and data center admins connect, socialize and discuss the DCIM best practices.

A network map is necessary to understand how the devices in the network connect to each other. The map provides visibility into the network, and when there is a fault, it helps to troubleshoot without any delay. However, without a topographical map, network admins must manually draw the diagram using drawing tools such as Visio. Manual mapping is a time-consuming, never-ending task at organizations that must constantly update their maps to ensure those maps accurately reflect the frequent changes in their network device inventories.

"Automating scans of the data center ensures that the L2 network map posted on the NOC wall is accurate and up to date," said Dev Anand, director of product management at ManageEngine. "TopoMapper Plus helps IT and network administrators by discovering the entire network and drawing a map that shows all the devices. The reports and alerts in TopoMapper Plus keep users informed about L2 changes, including recently added and removed network devices."

TopoMapper discovers the network - both LAN and WAN - and draws a network map using SNMP, CDP and LLDP protocols. After the discovery process, it automatically draws the map of the network. Network admins seeking still more network insight can convert TopoMapper into an OpManager installation to gain VMware monitoring, network monitoring, 3D maps and a broad range of other network and data center infrastructure management functions.
