ADTRAN ViewPoint is a Web-based graphical reporting tool that provides unprecedented security awareness and control over your network environment through detailed and comprehensive reports of your security and network activities. ViewPoint’s broad reporting capabilities allow administrators to easily monitor network access and Internet usage, enhance security, assess risks, understand more about employee Internet use and productivity, and anticipate future bandwidth needs.

ViewPoint creates dynamic, real-time and historical network summaries, providing a flexible, comprehensive view of network events and activities. Reports are based on syslog data streams received from each ADTRAN appliance through LAN, Wireless LAN, WAN or VPN connections. With ViewPoint, your organization can generate individual or aggregate reports about virtually any aspect of appliance activity, including individual user or group usage patterns, evens on specific appliances or groups of appliances, types and times of attacks, resource consumption and constraints, and more.
