StableNet® Discovery

Building a flexible blueprint for automation and infrastructure

Discovery in network management is not merely a starting point but a crucial, ongoing process that drives the entire system. In a unified network management and services platform, discovery consolidates both technical and business-related information into a single data structure. This comprehensive approach allows for customizable KPIs and SLA parameters, facilitating smarter workflows that enhance how devices are discovered, monitored, and analyzed. Properly executed, discovery becomes the engine powering the entire network management process, providing a robust foundation for fault and performance management, configuration functionalities, and alarm notifications.

Traditional discovery methods often rely on basic IP scans and standard monitoring protocols (SNMP, ICMP, WMI), yielding generic overviews of network inventories. However, using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as a blueprint significantly enriches the discovery process. XML tags guide the collection and organization of more detailed information, enabling meaningful insights and automated future discoveries. The Stablenet^® platform leverages this advanced discovery process, offering out-of-the-box solutions and extensive customization options. This allows for tailored data collection and integration of new devices into the network in a streamlined, effective manner. With a unified data structure, Stablenet^® enhances network management workflows, ensuring they meet specific business needs and criteria.
