Intelligent Management Software

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 Orchestrator and Analyzer is an IMC solution that is designed to simplify network operations and management through orchestration, automation, and analytical capabilities. It is best suited for environments that are required to scale rapidly due to exponentially growing traffic from cloud, mobile, big data applications, and IoT .

The HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer accelerates service delivery and enhances operational efficiency through its automated deployment capabilities for underlay and overlay network, service provisioning for VXLAN L2/L3 services, multi-tenant provisioning, and application performance insights with application telemetry. It also provides analytics and AI capabilities to offer a holistic view of network health for faster troubleshooting and issue resolution.

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 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 TACACS+ Authentication Manager (TAM) Software is an Intelligent Management Center (IMC) optional module that provides basic authentication, authorization, and accounting functions for network devices or IT users in order to deliver network device management security.

The IMC TACACS+ TAM Software can assign users with different privileges, monitor login and command execution operations as well as simplify user management which work with devices that support the TACACS+ protocol.

HPE IMC Remote Site Manager (RSM) Software is an HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) module that interacts with the hardware platform to deliver centralized management for branch networks regardless of their physical locations, presence of firewalls and Network Address Translations (NAT) devices.

In this model, IMC is deployed at the corporate headquarters and the IMC Remote Site Manager Software is deployed at branch networks, reducing the need for branch devices to support special protocols. IMC and IMC RSM communicate via either HTTP or HTTPS for higher security in your transmissions.

The HPE IMC Service Operation Manager (SOM) Software platform is an Intelligent Management Center (IMC) module that focuses on operations and management flow to provide full IT lifecycle management adhering to ITIL v3.0 including services like policy design, operation, and configuration improvement.

The IMC SOM Software provides controls, measures, and audit capabilities for configuration changes, fault identification, and recovery, reducing IT manual involvement and cost by allowing end users to recognize known network issues and track service requests.

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.

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 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.
