+1 for the open source! There are OpenNMS, Zenoss, and a lot of others, and if you really want to pay, you can get an overall support from some of them, from the very first implementation as well as ongoing support.
Commercially talking, I've seen Solarwinds have nice user-friendly product family named Orion, there are a few nice tools, it's built on a modular base, so you can buy only one, or integrate few of them. And is not really expensive, prices are reasonable.

(My opinion... :-) You can get paid support if that is the issue, from installation to on-going configuration support. You should investigate what support teams are using to monitor large networks. Papa John's for example monitors 3400 locations requiring only one person on duty.... Open source NMS... You will save a ton of money as well... |------------------------------------------------------------------- | Dan Lacey daniel_p_la...@yahoo.com | PGP Key: 0xFE94668F @ http://pgp.mit.edu or http://keyserver.pgp.com | PGP Key fingerprint: 8A97 2996 266D A21C 0277 54EF 40D5 2B80 FE94 668F |------------------------------------------------------------------- On 5/17/11 7:38 PM, omar parihuana wrote: > Hi List, > > Please could you suggest me a NMS for WAN/LAN? the WAN is a MPLS/VPN (300 > remote offices) and the Switching is a campus LAN (aprox 1000 Network > Devices) and three remote buildings (aprox Network 200 devices in each > building).
