A software tool for monitoring network performance, traffic, inventory, breakdown, repair activity, and other conditions, alerts a user to anticipated problems based upon projection of performance and related data. The software can also suggest appropriate solutions, schedules proactive maintenance based upon anticipated fail date, importance to the network, repairperson availability, and company policy. A user can set the parameters of the software tool to provide customized network maintenance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A software tool consistent with this invention for proactively monitoring a network comprises means for receiving information from a plurality of sources in communication with the network; means for analyzing the received information to anticipate the performance of at least one of a plurality of components in communication with the network; and means for predicting when the performance of the network to will exceed a predetermined threshold based on the anticipated performance of at least one of the plurality of components.
A method consistent with this invention for monitoring a network comprises receiving information from a plurality of sources in communication with the network; analyzing the received information to anticipate the performance of at least one of a plurality of components in communication with the network; and predicting when the performance of the network will exceed a predetermined threshold based on the anticipated performance of at least one of the plurality of components.
Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
