HPE Intelligent Management Center Standard and Enterprise

Single-pane management

IMC's single-pane management means that you get the information you need at a glance, including a display of both physical and virtual assets and wired and wireless elements. Convenient color-coded views, topology overlays, and focused zooming make it easy to view the entire network or to concentrate on an area of interest.

Unified control of virtual and physical worlds

HPE IMC unifies physical and virtual network management and helps IT overcome the challenges of administering the virtual server edge. IMC brings you a wealth of capabilities enhanced for virtualization.

Comprehensive multi vendor support

HPE IMC provides comprehensive management of all network devices, including those from HPE as well as from Cisco and other vendors. Management begins with the automatic discovery and mapping of all devices on the network, and is further enhanced by in-depth monitoring of those devices. Unlike some other solutions, IMC goes beyond monitoring and provides sophisticated management of multi vendor equipment, as well as interoperability and cross vendor communication.

Powerful administration and control

With HPE IMC's comprehensive configuration and management tools now at your fingertips, managing individual devices in a serial, one-off fashion is a thing of the past. What's more, with IMC you can view the health and state of virtual machines, migrate VMs while keeping network profiles intact, and recognize where virtual resources connect to the physical network.

Flexible centralized reporting

HPE IMC receives and logs SNMP traps and syslog reports, and can generate online and historical network performance information in highly adaptable report formats. A variety of informational methods deliver powerful fault finding and event generation. You can view performance statistics and capacity utilization for network devices, as well as create reports according to connection port, MAC address, IP address, or application.

Hierarchical management

In forward-thinking organizations, larger and larger portions of the network are being combined in ways that actually make the network easier to manage. And even the standard version of IMC offers distributed management capabilities that allow multiple servers with different installed modules to retain the appearance of a single UI. The enterprise version provides the greatest span of control, with a hierarchical deployment mode that can extend visibility across multiple networks, multiple countries, and even multiple continents - all while acting as a "manager of managers. " IMC is designed to handle many tens of thousands of users and offer them varying levels of access to network resources. For greater flexibility and convenience, you can combine the distributed and hierarchical modes of deployment.

Trouble-free administration that transcends the network

HPE IMC includes features designed specifically to make life easier for network administrators. This management solution is scalable from SMBs to SPs, so organizations undergoing dynamic change or transformation can be confident that their network administration will remain stable. As a software solution, IMC enables you to utilize your server of choice, and supports multiple operating systems - including Windows XP, Windows 2003 and 2008 Server, and Red Hat Linux. You can employ different backend databases, too, including Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database.
