ASM

Acer Server Manager is a server management tool. It is specially designed to help spot errors or potential trouble spots in the network servers through a single management station. ASM can send a query to a remote server over the network to request information such as system hardware and software configuration, system resource usage, and system performance.

The complete ASM package consists of two major components — the ASM Agent and the ASM Console. The ASM Agent are the servers to be managed on the network. The ASM Console is a Windows-based monitoring station that communicates with the ASM Agents and can be installed on any agent’s workstation on the network.

ASM requires TCP/IP connectivity between the ASM Agent and the ASM Console.
