Management Consoles

Server management tools such as Platform Instrumentation Control, Direct Platform Control, and the Client System Setup Utility run as components within a server management console. Server management consoles provide the basic functions of establishing connections with remote systems, displaying server or network status, and launching the tool applications.

Server management consoles range from basic versions that are used with single servers to complex versions that are used with complex enterprise-wide network systems.

Server Management Consoles

Server Managers are used in small-office environments to manage a single server or a small number of servers. Server Managers provide the tools to find servers on a network (“discovery”), view multiple servers, receive LAN-based alerts from the remote servers, and control the security of the server.

The Intel Server Control Console provides a straightforward and inexpensive Server Management Console when used by itself, within an ActiveX-enabled web browser, or Microsoft Management Console.

Workgroup Management Consoles

Workgroup Management Consoles are used in small business or department environments to manage a network of servers. They may include auto discovery of servers, enhanced security, paging alerts, and report generation.

Intel LANDesk ® Server Manager (LDSM) is a Workgroup Management Console. To use the ISC tool modules with LDSM, select the LDSM Integration Agent when you are installing the ISC software. When LDSM establishes a connection with a server that is running the ISC Platform Instrumentation software, a “Intel Server Control” launch point is added to the snap-in branch of the LDSM navigation tree. LDSM may also add “Intel Server Control” as an option in the “Snap-In” branch, depending upon the version of LDSM.

Enterprise Management Consoles

Enterprise Management Consoles are used in an enterprise-wide environment to manage a complex organisation of networks. They may include performance monitoring, load balancing, optimisation, and traffic analysis.

HP OpenView NNM and CA Unicenter TNG are enterprise management consoles. To use the ISC tool modules with an enterprise management console, select the appropriate Integration Agent when you are installing the ISC software.
