Compaq Insight Manager

Compaq Insight Manager is the Compaq application for easily managing network devices. Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of the servers.

In Compaq servers, every hardware subsystem, such as disk storage, system memory, and system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities. Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before they happen, keeps the system up and running in the unlikely event of a failure, and delivers rapid server recovery to normal operation after a fault.
