Intelligent Manageability
Intelligent Manageability is the Compaq management solution that gives customer's day
one ROI by making Compaq Workstations more manageable from a single point on the
network. The Compaq Workstation family can be integrated into a broad range of LAN
and enterprise management applications. Workstation products are easy to troubleshoot
because the hardware has built-in instrumentation to detect potential failures and allow
for rapid recovery if problems occur. Fundamental benefits include the ability to protect
data and minimize end-user downtime, thus increasing the productivity of both the end-
user and the IT organization. End-users can feel more secure knowing that systems and
data are protected while the IT organization benefits from smoother and faster service
call resolution. This is a key benefit for organizations with limited technical support
resources.
Most fault management features (local and remote) require that the Compaq
Management Agent be running on the Workstation. This agent is available on the
Compaq Management CD, which is provided with the AP400. Key Intelligent
Manageability features for the Professional Workstation AP400 include:
