History
Monitoring software network
Scalable architecture
GFI Network Server Monitor is a network monitoring service (called Network Monitor Engine) and has a management interface (Network Manager). It is no need to install agents on the computers to be monitored. Service Network Monitor Engine is multi-threaded and can run 16 checks at once. This architecture allows for high scalability network to scan both small and large networks.
