Compaq Insight Manager XE leverages the power of the Internet, and adds the capability to monitor non-Compaq systems and clusters. It is more scalable than LC because it manages servers, desktops, and other devices such as hubs and routers. Compaq Insight Manager, Compaq Insight Manager LC, and Compaq Insight Manager XE are part of the overall Compaq Intelligent Manageability strategy, which makes Compaq servers the best-managed servers in the industry. Compaq Management agents for SCO OpenServer 5 are now web-enabled. Systems running SCO OpenServer 5 operating systems can now be managed remotely using a standard Web browser.
Users can seamlessly retrieve critical management information regardless of their location.
Previously, users had to start or stop Agents services individually. The agents provide in-depth subsystem information, status, and faults on servers, workstations, desktops and portables. Beginning with version 4.30, Compaq Management Agents may be updated in their entirety or as individual components to add new functionality. For example, if the user decided to add a new Storage subsystem to a server, only the Compaq Storage Agent component needs to be updated on the server. This architecture positions Compaq to better address customer needs by delivering new agent functionality independent of hardware releases and expedite hardware releases by adding management support independent of each other.
