Data centers evolve. Whether migrating to blades, experimenting with SANs or testing a new router, DSView 3 software helps data center managers maintain control by by integrating with new technologies and providing a consistent interface. DSView 3 software offers deep pre-built integration with HP Software, NetClarity, Uptime Devices, VMware and others, and provides an API to enable integration with other applications.
DSView 3 software also provides custom views for each user, graphical report building and task automation tools, and enables a holistic view of network assets. The DS Zones feature offers greater administration control for improved asset accountability and remote office and departmental autonomy.
The “hub and spoke” architecture of DSView 3 software allows for high availability and distributed access across locations. Out-of-band features allow administrators to diagnose and repair problems even when gateways, routers, or other IP connectivity is down.
DSView 3 software easily integrates with existing security infrastructure, authenticating against internal or external standards-based services. All traffic is encrypted and the detailed activity logs provide a critical audit trail for issue resolution and regulatory compliance. Remote management capabilities allow physical lock down of sensitive machines for greater peace of mind.
The DSView 3 Power Manager extends the capability of the DSView 3 software by also giving companies the ability to monitor and measure IT energy consumption, costs, and trends across all levels within their data centers and remote locations
