The significant long-term trend in network monitoring is the establishment of SNMP as a de facto standard for many remote telemetry applications. Network managers who want to stay ahead of the curve are looking for solid information about using SNMP for real-world telecommunications network monitoring.

We at DPS know our clients want to know more about SNMP, but we were still surprised by the high demand for our SNMP Tutorial, which is now the most visited page on our website. Since we first posted the tutorial, it's been viewed over 50,000 times. Other Internet resources, including university websites, frequently link to the SNMP Tutorial, referring to it as an excellent introduction to SNMP.

So we decided to make a good thing better. We expanded the SNMP Tutorial with additional information on using SNMP for specific monitoring applications, based on DPS Telecom's experience in creating thousands of successful SNMP implementations for our clients.

The expanded white paper, "SNMP Tutorial: A Fast Track Introduction to SNMP and its Practical Use in Network Alarm Management," is ordinarily sold for $36.95 a copy. But we're making it available to QuickTips subscribers as a free PDF download.

We think you'll find the SNMP Tutorial a valuable resource. Unlike other SNMP references, which are written for IT managers of computer networks, the SNMP Tutorial contains exclusive information on using SNMP for monitoring telecommunications networks.

Download it now, and start applying this valuable information today. And if you find the SNMP Tutorial helpful, please let us know. We'd love to feature your successful SNMP monitoring implementation in a future issue of QuickTips.

Warmly,
Ron Stover,
DPS Telecom Technical Support

"DPS reliability is a big factor in why I've been recommending DPS to our member companies." -Bill Russell, Texas Lonestar Networks

If you think that network monitoring is just secondary equipment, talk to Bill Russell. The network operations manager for Texas Lonestar Networks says that reliable network monitoring equipment, backed by quality tech support, is an essential requirement for a successful network.

"Remote surveillance equipment has got to be up," said Russell. "It has to be there, and it has to be reliable. Network monitoring has to be going 24/7, because you have to be proactive about trouble in your network. You have to be able to see and repair problems before they cause network outages."
