DIGITAL Server Cluster Kits for Windows NT Configuration Guide
ServerWORKS Manager
Overview
For Compaq customers, server manageability is as important a requirement as system performance and
reliability. Customers also need to manage more than servers. They need to manage desktop systems, the
network, and mission-critical applications. Most of our customers have fairly complex environments, and
therefore need management tools that are effective in a multi-vendor environment, as well as tools that
scale well from the workgroup to the enterprise.
ServerWORKS Manager software, supplied with every DIGITAL Server, provides the tools administrators
need to proactively manage their networks and the systems they support.
ServerWORKS Manager enables you to increase the effectiveness of your operation with SNMP
management features, such as auto discovery, graphical topology map, and enrollment and browsing of
SNMP MIB with smart server agents that provide a bird’s eye view of your network. Launch
ClientWORKS to access DMI-based management capabilities of your Windows NT servers, desktops, and
laptops. Set alarms to enable proactive management of critical server parameters.
ServerWORKS Manager supports DIGITAL Servers running on a variety of operating systems, including
Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NetWare, SCO UNIX, and DIGITAL UNIX. No matter whether your
network challenge is large, medium, or small, ServerWORKS Manger can help you prevent problems
before they occur.
