HP LH4r ManageX - Managing HP Netservers

HP OpenView ManageX Event Manager is a management solution for

ensuring the availability and optimal performance of PC server environments.

Using ManageX is like adding extra administrators to watch over and manage

your distributed server environment around the clock.

Together ManageX

Event Manager and HP TopTools help to find errors wherever they reside-in

the operating system or hardware-and fix them fast.

Shipped with every HP NetServer L Series, ManageX Event Manager provides

you with valuable features to maximize your HP NetServer availability.

Proactive Control

Administrators need to know about problems before they become critical and

affect users.

Situations such as high cpu utilization or low memory can quickly

degrade server performance, frustrating end users and lowering productivity.

ManageX Event Manager helps IT administrators avoid health and

performance surprises by providing pre-configured policies for critical server

and network operating system (NOS) problems on Windows NT and Novell

NetWare.

Policies act as watchdogs constantly searching for abnormal

behavior in the system.

Ease of Installation and Use

IT administrators in medium to large enterprises usually have too much to do

and not enough time to do it.

ManageX is simple and quick to install, deploy

and update.

In most cases, installation is complete within hours.

Once

installed, ManageX is both powerful and easy to use due to its one-to-many

management capabilities.

It provides auto-discovery of servers, built-in push

technology for easy deployment of remote servers, real-time performance

reporting and comprehensive event reporting.

Self Healing Policies

ManageX warns the system administrator of potential problems and takes

automatic corrective action.

For example, if a service stops running, such as

the web service on your external web site, it could take minutes or even hours

before a technician becomes aware of the problem and resolves it so that your

customers regain access to your web site.

By that time you may have lost

them to a competitor.

ManageX has self-healing policies that will take the

action of restarting services automatically, while notifying you that the event

occurred. Your customers will regain access to the web site more quickly.

This translates into many benefits for you and your business.

Happier

customers AND more time for IT staff to plan for the future rather than

firefighting tactical issues.

Integration with HP TopTools for Servers

Problems occurring within a PC server environment are not easy to track

down.

How do you know if the problem is with the NOS or hardware?

To find

the answer, you need tools that integrate NOS and hardware management.

ManageX is fully integrated with HP TopTools.

Administrators can receive

alerts and information about the health and status of their hardware from the

same ManageX console they use for NOS management.
