The ability to add multiple
device types quickly for
centralized management.
Higher Availability:
The ability to monitor and
control a wide range of support
systems.
Simple navigation of monitored
systems from a centralized
location.
Since the device templates are
installed with every Nform
system, monitoring of new
equipment is readily available.
Filtering of alarms lessens the

Eliminates the need for
