The decision to move up to
client/server computing demands
thoughtful consideration. Fortunately, if
you have chosen a DIGITALTM

Get all the information you need
ServerWORKSTM Manager uses an
autodiscovery process to automatically build a
topological map of all your network devices
— not only servers, but also SNMP-compatible
devices such as bridges, routers, hubs and
switches. From the map, it’s easy to click
on a server and obtain information on CPU
utilization, file system utilization, network
packet statistics and other data vital to
monitoring the health of your network. |
Save time and effort
With its Windows NT LAN Manager
administration tools, ServerWORKS Manager
simplifies tasks, saving time and increasing
accuracy. Use ServerWORKS Manager in tandem with
ClientWORKS Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
software to check out a user’s system memory
and BIOS. Thermal and voltage sensor information
is also provided to allow for proactive
management of systems by setting and responding
to alarms. |
Access from one intuitive interface
ServerWORKS Manager provides the look and feel of
Windows 95/Windows NT. ServerWORKS
Manager includes intelligent toolbar integration
in support of third-party software such as RAID
controller and backup software. For example, by
selecting the appropriate product from the
ServerWORKS Manager toolbar, you can launch
backup functions for any server on the LAN
without accessing multiple applications or
logging in and out of each server. |
Stay informed wherever you are
ServerWORKS Manager’s remote paging feature
provides server alarm notification via your pager
or E-mail, and will monitor your servers and keep
you informed if something goes wrong. Enhanced
alarming features let you take corrective action
before problems arise. Alarms may be set on
system status, thresholds, temperature, fans, and
other characteristics. |
Use a standards-based product
ServerWORKS Manager is an SNMP-compliant product.
This means you can receive and forward SNMP traps
from any SNMP device. With ODBC database support,
ServerWORKS Manager lets you use third-party
reporting tools to enrich information capacity. A
Discovery Wizard provides filtered discovery and
choice of display options, and MIB utilities
allow compilation and enrolling of MIBs for
third-party installation. |
Extend management up to enterprise managers
ServerWORKS Manager can pass traps and other
information to enterprise management products
such as HP OpenViewTM, CA Unicenter
TNG, and Tivoli TME 10 NetVIEW. The ability to
launch Novell NetWare
utilities from the ServerWORKS toolbar unifies
management tools within a single console. These
features make it easy to integrate management of
your workgroup into an enterprise management
framework. |
Manage both Alpha- and x86-based servers, as well
as multiple operating systems
ServerWORKS Manager manages Alpha platforms
running Windows NT, DIGITAL UNIX and
OpenVMSTM, as well as Intel platforms
running Windows NT, SCO UNIX, Novell
NetWare and IBM OS/2. |
