Features & Benefits
HP OpenView Features & Benefits: HP OpenView
Network Node Manager and PageGate can be easily integrated
together to create a powerful wireless messaging (paging)
solution for the management, maintenance and monitoring
of your company's networks and computers. Imagine not
having to monitor a computer screen to be kept up-to-date
with your system's status. With PageGate, any event
in Network Node Manager can be configured to send you
its status (when it changes) to your pager, digital
phone, or other wireless device. You will now have the
ability to know the current state of your entire network
wherever you are, and you will be notified of possible
problems exactly when they happen. PageGate can send
HP OpenView Network Node Manager alerts to more than
one wireless device by using its group features. PageGate
even has a powerful 'On-Call' mechanism that can be
configured to only send messages to personnel that are
on-call at the time of the alarm. An additional benefit
of using PageGate with Network Node Manager is the ability
for the console operator to manually page any of their
colleagues directly from an icon in Network Node Manager's
toolbar.
Features for monitoring, notifying and
analyzing:
|
|
It provides network views in
an intuitive graphical format. |
|
|
It discovers network devices and provides
a map to illustrate the structure of the network and the
status of devices and segments. |
|
|
Other capabilities help network
administrators prevent problems by identifying potential
trouble spots before a failure occurs. |
|
|
Administrators are able to manage the network
more intelligently, leading to increased network up-time
and lower costs. |
|
|
Automated device discovery
and layout — Discovers TCP/IP, IPX, and level 2 devices
on both LANs and WANs and presents this information in
a graphical format. Continuously monitors the network
for new devices and for the status of previously discovered
equipment. |
|
|
Event correlation technology
— Pinpoints the cause of network problems by letting the
administrator drill down to see all events that contributed
to an alarm. Includes out-of-the-box correlation logic
for some of the most common network management problems.
|
|
|
Proactive management through reporting
and data warehousing — Preconfigured web-based reports
enable historical data analysis, which provides a unique
view of the devices on the network and helps administrators
take actions that prevent problems from occurring. Topology,
event, and SNMP-collected data is exported to NNM's data
warehouse, where it is collected and summarized |
|
|
Fault tolerance capabilities — Users
can schedule back-ups of business-critical network management
information to occur while they continue to manage the
network. Also NNM management stations can be configured
to take over the functions of the collection stations
if one or more collection stations fail. |
|
|
Scalability — Windows®
NT® and UNIX® collection stations can be distributed throughout
the environment so that data can be collected locally
and forwarded to one or more management stations. Windows
NT remote consoles connected to UNIX management and collection
stations allow multiple operator access at a lower cost.
The Java-based web UI increases the number of supported
operators and offers connectivity over WAN links. |
|
|
When a major device
fails, the event correlation engine evaluates the event
stream to pinpoint the root cause of the failure. |
