The HP OpenView Product Family and VPO
HP OpenView is a family of integrated network and system management
solutions for managing the complete information technology enterprise,
including networks, distributed systems, applications, databases, and
services. VPO is one of the key components of the HP OpenView Solution
Framework that has become a leading Integrated Network and System
Management (INSM) solution.
VPO Concept and Key Features
The most important tasks of operations management are to monitor the
use of all systems and contributing resources, and to keep them under
surveillance and operational control. Operations management is the
central integration point for any INSM solution and includes the
detection and reporting of problems, and the actions required to recover
from these problems.
IT staff can use VPO to control the following elements and resources:
Servers and clients
Networks
