This cloud-delivered SSE platform feels effortlessly light and integrates four primary security solutions into one, managed through a single-pane-of-glass interface:

* Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for private apps
* Secure Web Gateway (SWG) for web access
* Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) for SaaS apps
* Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) to help ensure user productivity

Embrace modern connectivity with enhanced security in a single, cloud-delivered solution and empower IT teams to control all user and application access, regardless of location, device, or network.

The HPE IMC Business Service Performance (BSP) Software is an Intelligent Management Center (IMC) module, targeted at support of data centers and large campuses, or remote sites that rely on centralized services. IMC BSP Software creates a holistic service health score dashboard for activity, health, availability and other factors for each individual customer-defined service.

This score uses data from the IMC platform, and optionally from SHM, APM and NTA modules to reflect the status of the application, servers, VMs, and network hardware that make up the service, giving a overall service view.

HPE IMC MPLS VPN Manager Software is an HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) optional module that provides features for all aspects of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN management. Features include VPN auto-discovery, topology, monitoring, auditing, resource allocation, and performance evaluation.

Additional features of the HPE IMC MPLS VPN Manager Software include a traffic engineering component that helps operators monitor an entire network and deliver service quality by distributing appropriate network resources as needed.

The HPE IMC User Behavior Auditor (UBA) Software provides network administrators the ability to audit the behavior of internal users to solve security challenges. In conjunction with the HPE IMC Access Manager (UAM) Software, the IMC UBA Software is built to adapt to network environment changes.

Among the features especially helpful for network administrators are comprehensive log collections and audit functions which digest information from HTTP, FTP, and SMTP packets.

HPE IMC Quality of Service (QoS) Software enhances visibility and control over QoS configurations on network devices and helps administrators focus on service planning and optimization of networking resources by providing a rich set of device and configuration management functions.

The IMC QoS Software allows administrators to organize traffic into different classes based on the configuration matching criteria and to provide differentiated services to optimize traffic and allocate network resources.

HPE IMC Application Performance Manager (APM) Software offers a view to application availability, allowing administrators to visualize and measure the health of critical business applications and their impact on network performance. It is easy to determine which business process is affected and which application issues to prioritize—all leading to quick and effective troubleshooting.

Provides one user interface offering fault management, and performance monitoring of applications, servers, and databases. It works with IMC Service Health Manager to provide a global assessment of network health.

HPE IMC Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) Software is an Intelligent Management Center (IMC) optional module that integrates network layers 4 through 7 monitoring into the IMC base network management platform. IMC NTA Software uses the instrumentation in network devices like routers and switches to provide real-time and historical reporting on network application usage.

You can tailor IMC NTA Software data collection and reporting capabilities to meet specific reporting needs and leverage the data for better planning, monitoring, and enhancing of network capabilities.

The HPE IMC Wireless Services Manager Software provides unified management of wired and wireless networks. It works in conjunction with the Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software platform adding network management functions into existing wired network management systems such as WLAN device configurations, performance monitoring, radio frequency heat mapping and WLAN service reports.

This IMC Wireless Services Manager Software provides uniformity over a wireless network, even one that is geographically dispersed.

HPE IMC Service Health Manager (SHM) Software is an Intelligent Management Center (IMC) optional module providing end-to-end service monitoring and service through visualization of infrastructure or network variances in the service path. It leverages data derived from other IMC components to yield critical performance metrics and aggregates key performance indicators to generate key quality indicator metrics.

Key quality indicators (KQIs) provide a visual representation for network administrators on their defined services and take proactive measures to maintain service level agreements.

HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software, with the optional HPE IMC Virtual Application Networking Fabric Manager Software, includes added functionality called HPE FlexFabric Network Analytics. When HPE FlexFabric Network Analytics is combined with the HPE FlexFabric 5940 or 5950 Switch it delivers real time visibility of microburst network congestion which negatively impacts overall network operations and performance.
Microbursts last only for sub seconds making its detection difficult by today’s network monitoring tools such as SNMP. HPE FlexFabric Network Analytics enables the network operator to pinpoint these microburst congestion points and their sources. This gives the network operator granular visibility into these spontaneous congestion points. With this information operators will be able to analyze in more detail their network configuration and make the necessary adjustments as needed for optimal network performance.
