Esmpro - NEC Express5800 140Rd-4 User Manual

ESMPRO

The ESMPRO 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.
