NEC ESMPRO Agent and Manager

NEC Express5800/ft series system management applications "NEC ESMPRO Manager" is bundled to accessory CD-ROM "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" and "NEC ESMPRO Agent" is bundled to Linux for NEC Express5800/ft series Back Up CD-ROM.

This manual describes the functions and features provided by NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent and the notes on their operations.

These applications are necessary for continuous operation of NEC Express5800/ft series.

Overview

NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent are the server management software provided for the stable operation of a server system and effective system operations. They can manage the configuration information and operating status of server resources to prevent server faults from occurring. If a server fault occurs, they detect the fault to notify the system Administrator of the occurrence. This enables the system Administrator to take appropriate action against faults.

„Importance of server management

“Constantly stable operation” and “less management workload” are keywords in server management.

Stable operation of server

Shutdown of a server immediately leads the customer to lose business opportunities and profits. This requires servers to always operate in their perfect state. If a fault occurs in a server, it is necessary to detect the occurrence as soon as possible, make clear the cause, and take appropriate action. The shorter the time taken from the occurrence of a fault to the recovery from the fault is, the smaller the loss of profits (and/or costs) is.

Load reduction of server management

The server management requires many jobs. In particular, if the system becomes large or remote servers are used, required jobs increase further. The reduction of the load of the server management brings the decrease in costs (and thus customer's benefit).

„What are NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent?

NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent are server management software used to manage and monitor NEC Express5800 series systems on the network. The installation of NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent enables the server configuration, performance, and fault information to be acquired, managed, and monitored realtime and also the occurrence of a fault to be detected immediately by the alert report function.
