HEWLETT-PACKARD: HP & Compaq
integrate manageability solutions to
proactively monitor Compaq systems
M2 Communications - Tuesday, December 07, 1999
DEC 7, 1999, M2 Communications - San Diego -- Hewlett-Packard Company today
announced an integrated management solution that combines Compaq Insight
Manager with HP OpenView Network Node Manager. This new browser-based
solution enables proactive management of Compaq server and client systems
from HP OpenView environments. This integration, developed by Compaq, is
available at no additional cost to customers. The announcement was made here at
the second annual Channel Connection Conference, which runs Dec. 6 through 9 at
the Hotel Del Coronado.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager is the
market-leading network-management solution that discovers network devices and
provides a map to illustrate what the network actually looks like. Compaq Insight
Manager is an industry-leading management solution that constantly monitors and
analyzes critical information for every Compaq server and desktop on the network.
Together, the two products offer a superior system- and network-management
solution for multiplatform HP-UX1 enterprise and medium-sized Microsoft Windows
NT environments. In addition, the HP OpenView Network Node Manager and
Compaq Insight Manager integration supports HP OpenView Express, a solution
targeted at mid-market Windows NT environments.
The integration provided by Compaq Insight Manager for HP OpenView Version 2.0
includes automatic identification of Compaq systems on a wide variety of operating
platforms and access to detailed hardware data through an integrated browser
launch to the Web-enabled Compaq Management Agents. These agents incorporate
a high level of intelligence that delivers the full range of monitored Compaq hardware
information and Windows NT operating system statistics. Access to additional
Web-based management applications, such as Compaq Intelligent Cluster
Administrator and Compaq Survey, also is possible through this solution.
"Today, our mutual customers can effectively manage and coordinate their networks
and systems as well as their business-critical applications and Windows NT
environments," said Juergen Rottler, acting general manager of HP's OpenView
Software Business Unit. "This announcement also furthers the HP OpenView
Express solution by facilitating quicker problem isolation, which delivers a fast return
on investment."
"The integration of Compaq Insight Manager with HP OpenView builds on Compaq's
Intelligent Manageability Strategy, providing our mutual customers with the event
management of Compaq Insight Manger within the HP OpenView Network Node
Manager console," said Mike Clark, vice president, High Availability, Industry
Standard Server Division, Compaq. "By providing customers with this level of
integration, Compaq enables customers to achieve the full benefits of our best
managed platforms using a combination of Compaq and partner management tools.
Additionally, the combination of these industry-leading management tools delivers a
more integrated solution for our joint service providers, as well as improves the
service levels they can provide to their customers."
