The Notification
Processing Center
The Notification Processing Center (NPC) is a notification application that enables users to
configure notifications that are transmitted when various disk array events occur. The NPC makes
it possible to manage (or monitor) the disk array system even when the administrator is away from
the manager station. When properly configured, this function can notify the administrator of event
occurrences in a RAID array instantly.
