provides data centers with a secure, centralized
management solution for all IT assets. DSView 4

makes your data center and remote offices
more:

for each user, graphical report building and task
automation tools, along with a holistic view of
your network assets no other system can equal.
Administrators can ease and increase speed
of deployment with Appliance Configuration
Templates, pre-configured with their common
parameters.
Accessible
The DSView 4 software “ hub and spoke” archi-
tecture allows for high availability and distrib-
uted, consolidated access across locations. The
out-of-band features on the DSView 4 software
allow administrators to diagnose and repair
problems even when gateways, routers or other
IP connectivity is down.
Extensible
Data centers evolve. Whether you’re migrating
to blades, experimenting with SANs or simply
trying out a new router, DSView 4 software can
help you maintain control by integrating with
new technologies and providing a consist-
ent management interface, regardless of your
underlying infrastructure. DSView 4 software
offers deep, pre-built integration with HP
software, NetClarity, Uptime Devices, VMware
and others. It also provides an API to integrate
third-party applications, tools and systems.
Secure
DSView 4 software easily integrates with your
existing security infrastructure, authenticating
against your internal or external standards-
based services. All traffic is encrypted and the
detailed activity logs provide a critical audit trail
for issue resolution and regulatory compliance.
By minimizing the need for local access in the
data center, the remote management capabili-
ties allow you to physically lock down sensitive
machines for greater peace of mind.
