NEC Express5800/ft series system management applications “NEC ESMPRO Manager” and “NEC
ESMPRO Agent” are bundled to accessory “NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD.”
This section describes the functions and features provided by NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC
ESMPRO Agent and the notes on their operations.
These applications are necessary for continuous operation of NEC Express5800/ft series.
Overview
NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent are the server management software provided
for the stable operation of a server system and effective system operations. They can manage the
configuration information and operating status of server resources to prevent server faults from
occurring. If a server fault occurs, they detect the fault to notify the system Administrator of the
occurrence. This enables the system Administrator to take appropriate action against faults.
Importance of server management
“Constantly stable operation” and “less management workload” are keywords in server
management.
–
Stable operation of server
Shutdown of a server immediately leads the customer to lose business opportunities
and profits. This requires servers to always operate in their perfect state. If a fault
occurs in a server, it is necessary to detect the occurrence as soon as possible, make
clear the cause, and take appropriate action. The shorter the time taken from the
occurrence of a fault to the recovery from the fault is, the smaller the loss of profits
(and/or costs) is.
–
Load reduction of server management
The server management requires many jobs. In particular, if the system becomes
large or remote servers are used, required jobs increase further. The reduction of the
load of the server management brings the decrease in costs (and thus customer's
benefit).
