A global site availability map is an essential dashboard for checking the availability of your organization’s branch location status across the globe, all in a single pane. With this availability map, a Network Administrator can understand any location issues, and administrators can be quickly assigned to fix any problems.

Solarwinds provides a real-world map, powered by Open Street Map, that we can use to create a global site-availability map. We can then use this map to place core devices, or all the devices into a group and in the exact location of each branch location as necessary. Whenever a core device goes down, or any device inside the group goes down, the status on the map will be changed accordingly. We can quickly understand that there is an issue and act accordingly.
