What's the best network monitoring software/tool?
What I want is a solution that aggregates the condition of all of our systems and displays the status in a meaningful way. And it should be able to email/text the technicians when there is a problem.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"SNMP is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects."
All of the devices that you describe could be monitored with SNMP enabled and software from this list:

OpManage is particularly good:

Thanks Jgraves.
Oh, check out Essential SNMP - it's a book by Oreilly. It's very good.
