Who Can Benefit From Nform?

3.0 WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM NFORM?

Any industry operating devices utilizing the SNMP protocol can benefit from using Nform to protect

valuable equipment, data and other assets in the event of power or mechanical failure.

Nform’s protection can be extended beyond equipment manufactured by Liebert to encompass other

makers’ SNMP devices. Nform ships with templates—specifications and functionality—for Liebert-

built SNMP devices. Liebert offers templates for other manufacturers’ equipment; contact your local

Liebert representative, value-added reseller, or distributor for information.

1. SNMP card with Web capability such as the OpenComms NIC, OpenComms™ Web Card

2. SNMP card without Web capability, such as the Intellislot™ SNMP card

Nform can monitor a network that includes any combination of LANs, WANs and any other type of

network.
