New Release: netTerrain 8.0 Enhances Usability, Discovery, Security, Outside Plant

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Oct. 8, 2018 - PRLog -- Graphical Networks, a global leader in IT visualization solutions, today rolled out the newest version of its software: netTerrain 8.0. netTerrain is an IT documentation platform (DCIM, Outside Plant, and network documentation) designed for companies of all sizes and across all industries. With netTerrain 8.0, users will enjoy increased security, automatic discovery that is even more user-friendly, enhanced features for outside plant, and enhanced usability throughout the software.

"We are continually advancing netTerrain; it's an ever-evolving product. We listen to what our users need to make their tasks easier. With each release, we respond," commented Jan Durnhofer, CEO of Graphical Networks. "netTerrain 8.0 gives users even greater usability, enhanced access to state-of-the-art discovery, API, security -- alongside groundbreaking features for outside plant management."

Outside Plant
netTerrain's many outside plant users managing circuits and strands just got easier. Users can now associate strand counts with a cable -- and design redundant, shortest, and diverse circuits based on their outside plant layouts. In addition, the circuit layout view has been revamped while strand and circuit reports are now available.

Discovery
For netTerrain users who need to discover layer 2, the discovery engine has been completely rewritten. Data of any kind can now be collected, in a multi-tenant environment. New layer 2 functions include an improved scanning of the bridge-MIB tables, LLDP, CDP, ping and more.

Usability
Across all flavors of netTerrain, usability is enhanced with netTerrain's continuous focus on simplifying the use of enterprise software. For example, catalog nodes can now be created in netTerrain just by dragging and dropping objects from the internet or a folder.

API
The existing REST API now includes far more calls and methods: users can create (virtually) anything through the GUI. The already robust SOAP API has also seen improvements based on user feedback.

Security
As Graphical Networks received the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM)'s Certificate of Networthiness this year (CoN), the software has undergone even greater emphasis on security, compatibility, and sustainability so as to comply with Army and Department of Defense (DOD) stringent criteria for this certification.

netTerrain 8.0 is now available to all current Graphical Networks Annual Maintenance Plan subscribers.
