| + | {{nav-logo-grey.png |(NAV logo)}} **Network Administration Visualized** is an advanced software suite to monitor large computer networks. It automatically discovers network topology, monitors network load and outages, and can send alerts on network events by e-mail and SMS, allowing for flexible configuration of alert profiles. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Development of **NAV** started in 1999 at the [[http://www.ntnu.no|Norwegian University of Science and Technology]] (NTNU). It originated as a collection of scripts used internally at NTNU's ITEA Network group. In 2001 [[http://www.uninett.no|UNINETT]] became interested in its development. In 2006 the development of NAV was moved from NTNU to UNINETT. NAV is used at nearly all universities and university colleges in Norway and [[navusers|many places elsewhere]]. | ||

| + | [[https://launchpad.net/nav|{{ ::launchpad-badge-w120px.png|(NAV uses Launchpad)}}]] | ||
| + | NAV is [[PostCard|free]], available under the GNU GPLv2 license. The latest stable version of NAV is 4.0.1 (released 3 April 2014). | ||
