•Monitor

When systems are up and running, administrators can use Sun N1 System Manager to monitor system health, helping to ensure that everything is running at the optimal levels. The software provides detailed hardware monitoring for attributes such as fans, temperature, disk, and voltage usage, including bare metal systems. Sun N1 System Manager also monitors OS attributes such as swap space, CPU, memory, and file systems. Administrators can define specific threshold levels and set preferred notification methods, including e-mail, pager, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, for each monitored component as business needs demand.

•Manage

Businesses require that infrastructure life cycle management extend beyond just deploying and monitoring systems. Sun N1 System Manager includes Lights Out Management capabilities, such as powering systems on and off, and remote serial console access to help IT organizations manage their IT infrastructure from remote locations. Leveraging Sun N1 System Manager software’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) feature, organizations can grant permissions to specific users to perform specific management tasks.

•Hybrid User Interface

Sun N1 System Manager offers users a hybrid user interface (UI), accessible from the Web, that integrates both the GUI and CLI into one console. With this hybrid UI, operations performed in the GUI are simultaneously reflected in the CLI, and vice versa.
