Flexible Scanning Modules
Co-resident with, and triggered by, the Server,
DIGITAL Commander Scanning Modules transparently
check the status of their respective products, as
well as standard system components and message
traffic. The collected information is then sent
via the Server to the GUI for display. You can
define scanning intervals to determine how
frequently products are monitored, or you can
choose to monitor a product continuously.In addition, PING, Network,
and CONTROL Management Scanning Modules are
included with the DIGITAL Commander Server. PING
is particularly useful for verifying network
connections and application availability, and for
checking network performance. To ensure smooth,
continuous network operations, Network Scanning
Modules monitor the DEC Naming Service (DNS) in
DECnetTM and Internet Protocol Subnet
Monitoring (ISM) definitions and changes. Command
Modules provide you with the tools you need to
start, stop, and restart remote applications such
as gateways and mail servers.
|
Customize your Scanning Modules
You can easily select the applications that you
want the Scanning Modules to monitor, or add more
applications. Plus, you can set the frequency at
which these application entities are scanned.An optional software
developers toolkit allows you to develop
and integrate
new Scanning Modules, so you can extend the
monitoring capabilities and benefits of DIGITAL
Commander to cover your specific mix of
applications and E-mail systems.
|
Alarms warn you of potential problems
The DIGITAL Commander Alarm Module ensures that
problems can
be identified and preventive action taken before
users are affected.
Such advance warning enables you to keep user
disruptions down and productivity up. The Alarm Module can even
be programmed to signal a system operators
pager when a potential trouble spot is found.
|
Reports detail performance
Easily displayed on screen, detailed reports
provide a snapshot of the performance and traffic
volume of each message transfer system. You can
control the severity level and type of
information displayed. |
Easy migration
An essential component in any enterprise
deployment of electronic messaging systems,
DIGITAL Commander is a particularly valuable tool
when you are in the process of upgrading,
migrating, or integrating new solutions into your
existing messaging environment.For example, if you are
upgrading from ALL-IN-1TM to an Office
Server solution, migrating from a VAXTM-based
to an AlphaTM-based MAILbusTM
messaging backbone, or deploying Microsoft
Exchange, DIGITAL Commander enables your old and
new messaging environments to operate and be
monitored in parallel. You get a complete picture
of the upgrade process. And, most importantly,
you can manage that process in a more planned,
controlled, and cost-efficient way.
