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.
