Sun Management Center Software for Sun Fire High-End Systems |
Sun Management Center software easily integrates into heterogeneous IT environments and scales from a single system to thousands of systems and desktop systems. Sun Management Center software is an open, extensible system monitoring and management application that uses Java software and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to provide an integrated and comprehensive enterprise-wide management of Sun products and their subsystems, components, and peripheral devices.
Sun Management Center offers a single point of management for Sun systems and storage components, for the Solaris OS, and for applications running on the Solaris OS. With Sun Management Center software, organizations can deliver monitoring and management capabilities that optimize performance, enhance application availability, and simplify management of the IT environment.
The add-on software packages for Sun Fire high-end systems provide support for the Sun Fire E25K/E20K and Sun Fire 15K/12K platforms and domains. For the Sun Fire E25K/E20K and Sun Fire 15K/12K platforms, hardware configuration information resides on both system controllers and on each of the individual Sun Fire high-end platform domains. Hardware configuration information, process monitoring, and management operations for the Sun Fire high-end system are provided by Sun Fire high-end agent modules.
Sun Management Center software provides the only graphical user interface (GUI) available for monitoring and managing Sun Fire high-end systems. Sun Management Center software also provides flexible integration with most major enterprise management software packages.
Sun offers its Sun Management Center base package free of charge and downloadable from the Web. This package enables you to manage an unlimited number of nodes, and is sufficient to perform monitoring and management of Sun Fire high-end systems.
The Advanced Systems Monitoring and Premier Management Applications packages are licensed per node or per Solaris OS image.
