INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT CENTER ENTERPRISE EDITION
RICH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
IMC provides powerful network discovery and topology,
including a detailed inventory of the network and highly
accurate depictions of how it is configured. Supported views
include Layer 2 and Layer 3, as well as VLAN topology and
custom view. Custom view allows the user to organize and
control the network infrastructure based on any organizational
model. IMC’s integrated Device Management panel provides
comprehensive element management for both 3Com and
H3C devices.
DETAILED PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND
MANAGEMENT
IMC supports the complete fault-management process,
providing in-depth correlation and analysis, real-time
alarming, troubleshooting and experience capture. Easy-to-
use performance monitoring detects bottlenecks and other
network problems including those related to CPU, memory,
and bandwidth utilization, devices response time and
availability. TopN statistics allow the fast identification of the
most loaded areas and devices on the network. A threshold
can be set to generate alarms on any monitor, quickly alerting
operators of any issues. To eliminate the possibility of an
operator being flooded by alarms, IMC provides the option of
setting customizable events as well as alarm and event
filtering rules.
FLEXIBLE CENTRALIZED REPORTING
Centralized report management simplifies an organization’s
report administration. IMC’s flexible historical reports provide
information necessary for network trend analysis and capacity
planning, offering pre-defined reports or allowing users to
define the parameters of their own reports using Report
Designer. Reports can be viewed in a number of formats
including .pdf and .xls, and can be sent automatically via
email, or scheduled to run regularly.
SIMPLIFIED VLAN MANAGEMENT
IMC simplifies the deployment and management of VLANs
across an organization’s network infrastructure. This includes
the ability to view the current VLAN topologies, and bulk
deploy VLANs across the network.
