Nec Esmpro; Functions And Features - NEC N8100-1223F User Manual

NEC ESMPRO

The NEC ESMPRO (referred to as ESMPRO hereafter) lets a system administrator manage remote
servers across a network. ESMPRO monitors server hardware and software configurations,
failures, and performance. With log data collected by ESMPRO, a system administrator can track
long-term and short-term performance, monitor server usage, create graphs to record trends, and
check server failure rates. The administrator can use the information collected to create more
efficient data routing procedures and optimize server usage.

Functions and Features

The ESMPRO offers many functions and features for managing remote servers across a network.
These features help the system administrator perform daily system operation, system extension, and
transfer tasks. Some features of ESMPRO Manager include:
Hardware and software server configuration
– Hardware resources mounted in servers, such as the processor, memory, disks, disk
arrays, and LAN boards.
– Software resources, such as operating system information and drivers running on each
server.
Server failures
– On-screen real-time displays provide the system administrator with the failure type,
location, cause, and suggested corrective action.
– Failure data includes hardware failure information such as system board temperature,
memory failure, crashes, and software failure information.
Performance
– ESMPRO monitors server performance and displays server usage on the screen and
displays information, such as the rate of processor load, memory usage, disk usage, and
LAN traffic. Usage threshold values can help the system administrator monitor and
prevent server overloads.
For installation procedure and detailed explanations on NEC ESMPRO, refer to the online
document in the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM.
