1. About the FrameSaver SLV

OpenLane SLM System

Being standards-based, the OpenLane SLM (Service Level Management) system can be used with other management applications like HP OpenView or IBM’s NetView. OpenLane includes HP OpenView adapters for integrating OpenLane features with the OpenView Web interface.

Being Web-based, the OpenLane system provides Web access to the data contained in the database to provide anytime, anywhere access to this information via a Web browser.

TSome of the OpenLane system’s features include:

Real-time performance graphs provide exact performance measurement details (not averages, which can skew performance results) of service level agreement (SLA) parameters.
