Nec Esmpro - NEC Express5800 User Manual

NEC ESMPRO

The NEC ESMPRO lets a system administrator manage remote servers across a network. NEC
ESMPRO monitors server hardware and software configurations, failures, and performance. With
log data collected by NEC 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.
IMPORTANT: For installation procedure and detailed explanations on
NEC ESMPRO, refer to the online document in the NEC
EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM.
The NEC 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 NEC ESMPRO Manager include:
Hardware and software server configuration
– Hardware resources mounted in servers, such as the CPU, 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
– NEC ESMPRO monitors server performance and displays server usage on the screen
and displays information, such as the rate of CPU load, memory usage, disk usage, and
LAN traffic. Usage threshold values can help the system administrator monitor and
prevent server overloads.
