Integration to Enterprise Management Platforms
IT departments who wish to manage their entire network infrastructure from a
common set of tools select an Enterprise Management Platform, such as HP
OpenView Network Node Manager, Computer Associate's Unicenter TNG, or
Tivoli Enterprise Management and NetView. These solutions allow the IT
manager to manage IT resources from end to end and provide the control to make
service level agreements with end user departments. HP Netservers are easily
managed by these management platforms because TopTools integrates into those
platforms. The software that "bridges" TopTools to many top enterprise
management platforms is available from the web at www.hp.com/toptools. Once
the integration software is installed, features include:
l autodiscovery of Netservers, Vectras, and other HP hardware
l launching of TopTools for drill down troubleshooting
l detailed hardware inventory information
l hardware alerts with text descriptions
