NETWORK APPPLICATIONS
Introduction
This report aims to literature review about OpManager for exploring the methods
using which the application particularly functions and the various features. The major two
features of the OpManager that are the Real Time Network Monitoring and the Physical and
virtual server monitoring has been briefly discussed in this report. The socio technical
principles that the OpManager adheres to have been discussed in this report. Lastly this
report concludes with the appropriate conclusion for the report.
Discussion
Real Time Network Monitoring
Majority of the network administrators inconveniently run the commands using the
command line interface for the network devices or the remote desktop to the servers for
periodic checking of the present performance. The OpManager with the new introduced real
time monitoring functionality allows one for instantly report on the performance of the device
in the real time without the using of any other tool for remotely accessing the problem device.
While the degradation of the network performance happens, it is required to launch the real
time graphs and gain the updated information regarding the performance and health of the
device remotely [1]. With the implementation of the OpManager and the real time graphs
obtained from the OpManager, the network administrators gain the ability of real time
statistics on the device CPU and the memory utilisation, updated information on the
performance metric of any device and the real time bandwidth and traffic utilisation of any
interface or port. The monitoring of the performance of the network could be done using the
OpManager. The networks are backbone of each business. The network monitoring helps in
the anticipation of the potential outages and it addresses the problems of the network
efficiently [2]. OpManager pings each of the monitored devices at the defined intervals of
