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.
NAV was originally developed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) since 1999, to meet the needs of the university's campus network operators. The Norwegian national research network, Uninett, became involved in 2001, and has been leading the development of NAV since 2006, on behalf of all universities and university colleges in Norway.
On January 1st 2022, Uninett, NSD and Unit (all entities owned by the Norwegian government) were merged into the new government agency Sikt - Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research. Sikt continues to develop NAV.
