data collection with centralized reporting and administration.
OmniCenter is 100% HTML web-based for both reporting and administration, from any operating system or platform. This architecture means there is no Java-client to download, no agents, probes, or client software to install, and no remote-desktop access required.
Multiple users and administrators can all be working in the application seamlessly and easily, from anywhere in the extended enterprise, including over VPN connections.
nVision
nVision is an easy to use tool for network mapping and visualization, identifying
hardware and software assets, remotely monitoring and managing computers
and devices, and monitoring key application servers and user activity.
Ideal for small/medium businesses where IT staff is responsible for
both networks and systems.
Alerts can be set up to notify administrator
of problems before the users start calling. nVision constantly monitors your critical network assets, provides tools to
analyze and troubleshoot problems, helps in planning the development
of your infrastructure, provides many reports including device and user
activity, hardware and software auditing and device CPU, Memory and
Disk utilization.
