Product Highlights
HP Network Node Manager i (NNMi) and NNMi Advanced software provide powerful out-of-the-box capabilities to enable your network operations team to efficiently manage a network of any size, reduce the business risk of downtime, and increase network service levels. The HP NNMi Smart Plug-in add-on modules (iSPIs) enhance NNMi capabilities and add awareness of specialized network environments, providing your team with the information it needs to anticipate and more quickly find and fix problems. NNM Smart Plug-ins icludes the iSPI Performance for Metrics, iSPI Performance for Traffic, iSPI Performance for Quality Assurance, iSPI Network Engineering Toolset, iSPI for MPLS, iSPI for IP Telephony, and iSPI for IP Multicast. These products help you rapidly discover network problems through automatic root-cause analysis that maintains accuracy even when the network changes. In addition, through unified workflows enabled by advanced integrations, you can repair network faults with HP Network Automation software. You can also implement and automate incident management as described in IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) v3.

Network Node Manager I series software provides an always up to date topology that allows the accurate network monitoring and network incident management essential to modern data-center operations. NNMi can help extend your network management capabilities into Cloud services and when used in conjunction with the iSPI's for advanced services into complex network environments such as MPLS, IPT, and IP Multicast. Network Node Manager i unifies fault, availability and performance monitoring that help you to rapidly discover network problems through automatic root-cause analysis that maintains accuracy even when the network changes. The Multi-tenant capabilities of NNMi along with the security grouping enables you to manage multiple customers and departments with restricted views into the network that allows network operators to focus on their areas of responsibility, provide customer and departmental security, and meet compliance requirements. HP Software products including NNMi, Network Automation, Operations Manager, and Business Availability Center integrate to provide complete management of your network, servers, storage, and applications. From detailed infrastructure monitoring and configuration to top-down application analysis, all linked together in a service topology; HP software solutions provide you means to implement unified operations management of your computing environment from a business service management perspective.
