Software Management
HP OpenView ManageX is an award-winning management solution that provides
centralized control and monitoring of your operating system and applications. It
automates administrative tasks such as correlating and consolidating event logs,
restarting services and diagnosing problems. On alerts received, it takes corrective
steps to solve problems before critical system or application bottlenecks occur. It
also provides performance information in real-time for both the NOS and
application. HP OpenView ManageX Event Manager is included with every HP
Netserver L Series system to manage the operating system and can be easily
upgraded to the full version of ManageX.
