Network Ferret™
Discovery Engine.

A carrier-class discovery engine that is easily embedded in network management applications. Network Ferret™ scales to large networks (20k+ network devices, and 1-million+ interfaces).
‍
This is all we do. Development support is there for you 24x7. Whether that is issues in the field, new feature requests or help writing your own extensions.

Network Ferret™ is highly configurable with user defined parameters that:

• Control Scope of Discovery

• Control Performance

• Enable/Disable Discovery features

• Customize behavior by vendor and device type

Network Ferret™ is designed from the ground up for OEMs, making it the easiest way to integrate a discovery engine into your NMS application. Network Ferret™:

• Integrates with any application via a simple Java API

• Executes from within the embedding application

• Is highly configurable to meet specific execution requirements

• External Message repository simplifies language localization

• Easy for programmers to extend with custom functionality

If vendors followed standards perfectly and behaved the same way, Network Ferret would not exist. There would be one piece of public domain discovery software that everyone used.

But they don't. Network Ferret is designed to EXPECT non-conformance. Our vendor architecture makes it easy to handle any non-conformance situation that may arise.

Plus, AMT has spent the past 20+ years finding these issues. These are the issues that stop a deal it its tracks. Your client does not care about your great GUI if the network you discovered is not correct.

There are many shareware discovery engines that will adequately discover a small enterprise network.

Network Ferret is designed for giant networks. Smart threading and caching allows the discovery of 20,000+ big routers and switches without blowing out OS resources on your machine.
