Features of OpManager
• Network management is a great challenge in most organization
• OpManager applications can take control of the system
operation.
• It is essential for institutions to have full control of the
bandwidth, security passwords without inference from
unauthorized persons
• The features of OpManager include Network management,
server management, network traffic analysis, network
configuration, fault and performance management, switch port
and IP Address management and data center management
among other features.

Network management
• Control the flow of data in the institution ensure the security
of the data.
• Monitoring the network enables one to access the routers,
switches, firewalls, storage devices and everything that has
IP connected to the network system thus it ensure all system
devices are working
• Managing network is essential in creating defaults that are
applicable when there is suspicious activity thus ensuring the
security measures are appropriate
• Accessing the network will enable one to decongest the
system by removing unused data or applications in the order.

Fault and performance management
• The OpManager can send an alert in the form of SMS or
email indicating attention.
• Network specialist always get instant notifications on
windows tap requesting for quick response thus ensure the
system stable
• The OpManager provides details on devices performance in
the form of percentages; therefore one can control any
application to ensure the system is not overwork.
• Accessing system performance will help the developer to
make necessary amendments in building a comprehensive
system to be accessed by users

Server management
• Network efficiency depends on proper control
of the server system which acts as a central
access point.
• Knowing the performance for every server is
essential because if a server fails one can
quickly identify it and necessary corrections.
• The server monitoring tools assist in assessing
servers and entire system infrastructure
efficiency

Network configuration
• The OpManager has integrated in such a way that it
enables one to improve the system without affecting
the actual flow of information or data hierarchy.
• Network configuration ensures that all data standards
and policy is upheld thus guaranteeing the quality of
the information available in the server.
• The OpManager configured with other applications
without causing any defaults in the system. The apps
also can be installed to any Operating System.

Data center management
• The OpManager can access all data on application
performance, bandwidth usage, and CPU usage at
one point.
• In the case of end users report system fault, the
system operator will be in a position to identify the
error without going through all the components.
• The system developer can find a correlation
between components and identify a solution within
a short period using the OpManager application.

Comprehensive Data Center Infrastructure
Management
• The application is used to manage, organize
and monitor the flow of data.
• The tool can implement many purposes as
asset management and hardware
management in ensuring the constant flow
• The OpManager ensure optimization of
resources in the system thus increasing
performance

IP Address and Switch Management
• The OpManager can trace the device
connections and to identify the number of
ports left out in distribution switch.
• Also, the OpManager’s IPAM and SPM add-on
integrated into a central console that
enhances switch port and IP address mapping
• One can know the available IP addresses for
particular subnet across the IT infrastructure.

Enterprise class scalability
• The OpManager is designed with the ability to
scale network monitoring and the management
needs for enterprises.
• The interior architecture ensures it is possible all
necessary components integrated to system
expansion.
• Also, OpManager provides necessary network
visibility across the consolidated framework that
can be used to construct an inclusive report

Conclusion
• Comprehensive network management
safeguards business data and protocols.
• The OpManager features ensure all aspect of
the system is protect, and dataflow is not
affected by any faults.
• Installing OpManager ensure the information
standardize in term of quality.
