Multi-vendor network management solutions over 18,503,009,061 vendor network management solutions? IMC H3C Intelligent Management Center is the launch of the next generation of open intelligent network management products, it is the user's core business processes, using current mainstream SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) design ideas, provide network resources, services and users converged management solution. iMC intelligent management platform (hereinafter referred to as the iMC Platform) platform is the basis for the entire iMC system, while providing network device management functions and systems throughout the iMC open framework. Application background current role of the network has changed from the basic functions of a multi-service interoperability bearing platform, increasing its size, number of equipment brands, you need a network-compatible management of multi-vendor equipment. iMC platform supports standard SNMP and MIB, you can perform basic management of third-party equipment. Particular, iMC while providing plug-ins and third-party network management platform for integrated, H3C equipment for professional management. For the following two different multi-vendor network management solutions are introduced. Option One: H3C iMC unified network management platform to unify the use of iMC network, you can manage common Cisco, 3Com, Huawei and other vendors equipment topology, alarm, performance, and other functions. Resource management in the device identifies the topology of Cisco, 3Com and other vendors' equipment for special logo. While the resource tree and topology, devices from different vendors for different icons. For Cisco devices, 3Com equipment and other manufacturers of equipment can achieve the basic management: Alarm management for third-party devices Alarm, iMC can all receive (not to discard), where public alarm (cold start, warm start, the interface starts , the interface off, the authentication fails, EGP neighbor loss, etc.) can be properly resolved. For private alarm equipment manufacturers can receive but can not be resolved (available to provide further analytical functions to private alarm alerts by providing a script the way). After receiving the alarm, iMC topological node will change color (can also be customized according to the user) according to the alarm level, and forwarded Email or SMS to the administrator. IMC performance management system can monitor the performance of third-party devices for general purpose, including traffic monitoring interface, utilization monitoring, equipment and devices IP packet forwarding, such as response time monitoring. Meanwhile, if you need to monitor for specific equipment performance requirements can be achieved by adding custom performance template script. Other network equipment manufacturers to integrate the device-specific management functions (such as panel management, special configuration management), you need to use the vendor's own equipment management system to achieve. iMC system provides two ways to achieve the integration of third-party network management device features: WEB Some devices embedded WEB NMS network management, network management via WEB open the device to achieve the appropriate management of the equipment (such as panels, configuration, etc.). IMC network management applications by calling the corresponding third-party network equipment procedures to achieve the depth of its equipment management. Option Two: Integration with third-party network management integration plug-iMC supports integration with HP OpenView, IBM NetCool and SNMPc and other network management platform that integrates third-party network management platform can be identified after H3C equipment, H3C device icon is displayed, complete the topology, alarm, performance management, etc. but also can achieve for the management of equipment, such as equipment panels, equipment graphical configuration.
