NEC ESMPRO Server Management Software
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 includes NEC ESMPRO Server Management Software that allows
network administrators to monitor, control and manage NEC Express5800 servers and desktops
across a network from a management console or any PC with an Internet browser.
NEC ESMPRO enables:
Local or remote management (via your network or the Web)
Comprehensive real-time fault management
Performance and load monitoring
Broad configuration and asset management
It allows system administrators to optimise server operations through an
easy-to-use Windows-based graphical user interface.
NEC ESMPRO comes with SNMP agents for Microsoft Windows environments
accommodating all NEC Express5800 servers.
“Plug-in” applications are also available to comprehensively integrate NEC Express5800
systems with leading enterprise and network managers such as HP OpenView NNM for
Windows, Tivoli Enterprise, or CA Unicenter TNG.
To lower the Total Cost of Ownership even more, NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 features
hardware integrated remote management capabilities implemented through the Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) and RomPilot (extended BIOS). This built-in solution provides
remote emergency access and control of server resources (via LAN or standard modem
connection) from a Management Workstation Application (MWA) allowing critical actions
such as remote power control, remote Event Log access or remote console redirection,
regardless of the state of the operating system or the network. In the past, this capability was
available only through an expensive emergency management ISA/PCI add-in card.
