NEC ESMPRO
ESMPRO lets a system administrator manage remote servers across a network.
ESMPRO monitors server hardware and software configurations, failures, and
performance. With log data collected by 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.
Functions and Features
The ESMPRO offers many functions and features for managing remote servers across a
network. These features help the system administrator to perform daily system
operation, system extension, and transfer tasks. Some features of 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 tem-
perature, memory failure, crashes, and software failure information.
■
Performance
- 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 administra-
tor monitor and prevent server overloads.
