Global Management System (GMS) is a comprehensive networking toolset and platform that provides management, troubleshooting, and monitoring capabilities for any wide area network (WAN), including multiple private line WANs. It supports IP connectivity protocols such as TCP/IP, ATM, Frame Relay, SONET/SDH, FDDI, ISDN, leased lines, etc., and offers built-in functions to manage various types of physical and logical connections. GMS provides remote management and control over an entire LAN or WAN using any device capable of Internet access and browser software. GMS is designed to allow a network administrator to configure, monitor, and manage his or her LAN(s) or WAN(s) without requiring direct access to each node. This enables the use of third party tools to control the LAN(s) or WAN(s). GMS supports various network technologies including Ethernet, Fiber Channel, SCSI, Fibre Channel, and other proprietary protocols.
- Its a great tool to make sure you have your network running smoothly by allowing you to view information about your devices in real time, remotely and on demand.
- Has features that allow for you to view live status, monitor bandwidth usage across the network and view configuration settings.
- It does not have all of the functionality of other analytics tools.
- It's a bit heavy on the tool to get set up with the different data sets
