1. Visual Management of Managed Servers

Servers can be automatically detected with mouse in the Operation Window of NEC ESMPRO Manager. Detected servers are located on map as icons, visual server management is realized. (Sample bitmap image icons are registered. System administrators can freely select one and register it.) Managed servers can be managed in groups (for example, department), and hierarchized in the map for reflecting the real organization.

NEC ESMPRO Manager acts as integrated viewer by installing ESMPRO corresponding software on the same PC, and can coordinate ESMPRO corresponding software.
 

2. Centralized Management of Multiple Servers by one PC

Management PC (NEC ESMPRO Manager) can collectively manage server operation information on multiple servers (NEC ESMPRO Agent) on the network by using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Each managed server can be remotely rebooted and shutdown by NEC ESMPRO Manager. NEC ESMPRO Agent for Windows Ver, 4.0 or later can be managed with Web browser via the Internet.

3. Configuration Status and Operational Information Management

• Configuration Management

NEC ESMPRO Manager can view resource status of servers such as CPU, memory, disk, disk array, LAN board, operational status of servers, running status of OS and various software applications. It can view HTTP, FTP, Gopher information managed by Microsoft’s Internet server (IIS: Internet Information Server) operating on the managed servers.
 

• Operation Management

NEC ESMPRO Manager can monitor the CPU loading, memory usage, disk usage, hard disk protection status of servers, traffic status of LAN, and so on, and display graph view in real time. NEC ESMPRO Agent always monitors the server. When the value of items exceeds the threshold of alert, it notifies the risk of system performance deterioration, damage of parts to the NEC ESMPRO Manager. In addition to the predefined threshold, it has local polling function. It allows system administrators to set alert notification more suitable for their request, by selecting any monitoring items and setting conditions.

• Problem Management

Alert Viewer is the third component of the NEC ESMPRO Manager. It receives the problems on servers detected by NEC ESMPRO Agent as SNMP alert and makes lists, and notifies to system administrators with beep or pop-up window when receiving alerts. Problems detected by ESMPRO corresponding software can also be displayed. ESMPRO corresponding software can be started by simple operation in the alert list shown in the Alert Viewer for convenience of system administrators. (For example, when network failure alert is received, Network Information screen can be displayed with simple operation.)
