Intelligent Management Software

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.

The HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Basic WLAN Manager Software Platform is a network management software tool with unified resource and device management, designed for small-to-medium sized businesses with small network environments. A single screen provides visibility into both wired and wireless networks, adding wireless network management functions into existing wired network management systems.
IMC Basic WLAN Software Platform supports both Hewlett Packard Enterprise and third-party devices and has a fixed-device limit of 50 nodes.

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 Enterprise Software Platform is a comprehensive wired and wireless network management tool supporting the FCAPS model, provides for end-to-end business management of IT, scalability of system architecture, and accommodation of new technology and infrastructure.

Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Enterprise Software Platform supports the management of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and third-party devices. The included base license supports 50 devices, five nodes of IMC NTA, the eAPI library and WSM with 50 AP nodes. Additional licenses are available for purchase.

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 Intelligent Analysis Reporter (IAR) Software extends the reporting capabilities within HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) to include customized reporting. These reporting capabilities enable network administrators to perform proper analysis of activities on the network such as network usage and topologies.

IMC IAR Software makes customization easy by including a report designer, which can save designs into templates making reporting easy and consistent. IMC IAR Software automates the process by generating reports when you need them and distributes them to key stakeholders.

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 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 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.
