– HP Route Analytics
Management System
HP Network Node Manager i
One tool unifies Fault, Availability & Performance Monitoring
• Workflow-based navigation
• Extremely low administrative overhead
• Key incidents aligned with your
environment
• Performance data in the context of
network topology
• Scales to almost any environment, unified
polling, a single configuration point and a
common console reduce your costs
• Continuous Spiral Discovery guarantees
up to date accurate topology and RCA
• Flexible deployment architecture – Global
and Regional distribution supporting MultiTenancy
Efficient | Automated | Secure
NNM Performance iSPIs
“Performance is the New Fault”
•
Performance data in the context of
network topology provides a unique
point of view of fault monitoring
•
Predict problems and enable
preemptive fixes
•
Base-lining to identify normal usage
patterns speeds implementation, cuts
cost and quickly highlights performance
anomalies
•
Multi Tenancy and Security Groups shared
with NNMi
•
Scale to collect performance data from
almost any size environment
•
Performance data from real-time to long
term forecast and trending

Cost/Time Savings
 Retired a number of tools saving the support costs
 Modified ACLs across 900 devices in several hours, task previously took several
weeks
 Identified a number of devices that were running an older non-supported IOS
 Quickly identified devices non compliant - older configuration template configured
on devices
 Begun to automate and reduce manual time consuming tasks
•
Quickly Identify problems
 Increased operator efficiency
 Upon device discovery identified 50 devices that were running on a single power
supply and were at risk
 Identified the running device configuration was different than the startup on 30
devices
 Began to identify outages and were able to quickly start the triage and restoration
of service
 Able to quickly identify performance issues effecting customers
