About Dartware
Dartware, LLC is a small
software firm based in Hanover, NH. Our software lets you see
what's happening in your network and manage the problems that
crop up.
Our primary product is
InterMapper®, a network monitoring and alerting tool. It was
initially developed at Dartmouth College where Bill Fisher and
Rich Brown worked to create a tool that would monitor the
College's locally-developed New England Digital (NED) AppleTalk
and IP routers. These minicomputer-based routers had extremely
limited memory, and thus couldn't ever be programmed to speak
SNMP. With more than one hundred of these routers in the
basements of buildings on campus, the College decided to write
its own tool for monitoring the network. As more SNMP-speaking
commercial equipment was brought on campus, InterMapper was
extended to support SNMP, and later other probe types.
The program was good enough
that Rich and Bill were encouraged to market InterMapper
commercially beginning in July 1996. (They had some practice
marketing software from their experience selling the MacPing
software from 1992.) Dartmouth also began selling their SNMP
Watcher MIB console in March 1999.
In April, 2000, Dartmouth
College transferred title to InterMapper, MacPing, and SNMP
Watcher to a newly-formed company, Dartware, LLC. The founders
were Rich Brown, Bill Fisher, and Stuart Pompian, an area
businessman. Dartmouth College retains a share of the ownership
of Dartware which will continue development and marketing of
those software products. Tex Clayton, programmer, and John
Sutton, Customer Service, joined the Dartware team in September
2000. Christopher Sweeney joined as a programmer in October
2002.
