Features and benefits

Management

• HPE IMC Basic software
  cohesively integrates fault management, element configuration, and network monitoring from a central vantage point; built-in support for third-party devices enables network administrators to centrally manage all network elements with a variety of automated tasks, including discovery, categorization, baseline configurations, and software images; the software also provides configuration comparison tools, version tracking, change alerts, and more
• Integration with HPE Aruba Networking Management Software (AirWave), ClearPass, and HPE OneView
  allows administrators to use AirWave for "user centric" wired management and wireless management while IMC provides edge to core infrastructure management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Integration with ClearPass ensures IMC has the user context, allowing the administrator to easily associate an IP address to the logged on user. OneView integration automates the provisioning of ToR switches when VLANs are added.
• Centralized deployment model
  delivers an extensive set of capabilities for managing small heterogeneous networks and is designed for simplicity and ease of use
• Rich resource management
  provides powerful network discovery and topology, including a detailed inventory of the network and highly accurate depictions of how it is configured; supported views include Layer 2 and 3, and the ability to create custom views like a dashboard homepage; customization enables administrators to organize and control the network infrastructure based on their preferred organizational model
• Flexible, centralized reporting
  simplifies an organization's report administration; flexible historical reports provide the information needed for network trend analysis and capacity planning, and offer predefined reports or customization options to define parameters; reports can be viewed in a number of formats, including .pdf and .xls, and can be sent automatically via email, or be scheduled to run at a set timeframe
• Integrated sFlow traffic analysis
  collects flow information from sFlow-capable devices; through traffic analysis, IMC Basic software can help identify network bottlenecks, recognize anomalous traffic, and pinpoint varying levels of bandwidth traffic for different services and applications
• Telnet/SSH proxy
  allows administrators to remotely access and manage devices through Telnet/SSH without installing a Telnet/SSH tool on the PC client used to access the device; this promotes secure and controlled access to devices while providing an audit of changes made on any device
• Traffic topology
  is based on the network's physical topology and enables users to view the traffic conditions of various links
• Performance monitoring
  provides new ways to view interface performance data; includes four interface performance views: TopN, trend analysis, summary data, and at a glance; the GUI is flexible and allows for instant viewing, switching between multiple views, and quick access to the various interface performance summary views
• Network data collection
  generates, packages, and sends archived information about your network, device, or IMC Basic software to the appropriate Hewlett Packard Enterprise support or sales organizations in one simple step; this feature gathers the data you selected and then generates reports and data files containing the relevant information; finally, it delivers the reports to your selected destination, either by email, FTP, SFTP, or to a file location
