NEC ESMPRO
NEC ESMPRO lets a system administrator manage remote servers across a network. NEC ESMPRO monitors server hardware
and software configurations, failures, and performance. With log data collected by NEC ESMPRO, a system administrator can
track long-term and short-term performance, monitor server usage, create graphs to record trends, and check server failure
rates. The administrator can use the information collected to create more efficient data routing procedures and optimize server
usage.
