Manageengine Opmanager Enterprise Edition

[Jonathon Burnside]

Monitoringan enterprise network is challenging for two reasons: the size of the network and the distributed architecture it follows. In the distributed model, branches spread across the globe, requiring a centralized monitoring solution.

As the business grows, more devices will be added to the network, meaning your enterprise monitoring tool must be able to scale to match the performance requirements. If not, the tedious procedure of procuring new monitoring software to handle the load will be necessary.

Business growth is a positive indication that your company is travelling on the right path. But as your business grows, the organizational foot print also expands, adding more devices and, sometimes, adding more network sites as well.

However, with OpManager Enterprise edition, you can overcome this challenge and monitor your ever-expanding network without facing a performance slump. To optimize the performance of the OpManager server, even after network expansion, the following functions have been introduced.

With the Unified Console option, you can trigger the discovery process and add the devices to the respective Probes for monitoring from the Central server without navigating to the Probes individually. You can also view real-time data of various monitors of devices from the Central.

Another challenge that IT admins face in a highly distributed network is to modifying and implementing configuration changes across the network. In any organization configurations change time and again, so the effort needed to apply these changes throughout the network is often tedious.

With the Centralized Configuration feature, you can apply a configuration in the Central and sync it with all the connected Probes. Common configuration changes, such as SMS Server Settings, Mail Server Settings, Proxy Server Settings, and Rebranding can be synced from the Central across Probes.

Typically in an enterprise network, with hundreds of branches, the regional head or a senior manager wants an overall picture of how the network is performing. The LiteCentral feature will be useful for enterprises and enables the Central admin team to gain a high-level summary of the network. However, at any time, detailed insights about a particular device or a network, can be accessed from the Probes.

OpManager Plus Enterprise edition has been released by ManageEngine, filled with comprehensive infrastructure observability capabilities that enable IT teams to achieve full visibility and control over their distributed IT environments.

This solution uses a probe-central architecture to provide reliable network observability and management across an enterprise's infrastructure, matching up with the speed of the organization's scale and rate of expansion.

The central server enables IT teams to collate all the data with the help of insightful reports, graphs, advanced business views, network maps, and a customizable widget-based dashboard for identifying the root cause of an issue.

OpManager Plus Enterprise guarantees network observability across your stacks, combining full-stack management, enterprise-level scalability on demand, and automation with the help of AIOps and machine learning.

OpManager Plus Enterprise uses intelligent probe management to automatically update and configure probes, reducing the need for manual intervention. This can save IT teams time and effort, and help to ensure that probes are always up-to-date and configured correctly.

OpManager Plus Enterprise combines ease of use and scalability, making it a good fit for a wide range of enterprises. The solution also arrives with various pricing and device-based licensing options, giving IT teams the flexibility to choose the deployment option that best suits their needs.

If you are looking for a comprehensive infrastructure observability solution that can help you gain 360-degree visibility and command over your distributed IT environment, then OpManager Plus Enterprise is the right choice.

The 2024 State of the Data Center Report from CoreSite shows that although C-suite confidence in the economy remains high, a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment has many business leaders proceeding with caution when it comes to their IT and data ecosystems, with an emphasis on cost control and predictability, flexibility and risk management ...

OpManager is the central module in a suite of monitoring tools produced by ManageEngine. This is one of the leading network infrastructure monitoring tools available and the integration with sister products creates a very powerful system management support suite.

This system is most suited to large businesses with complicated multi-site networks. The remote management elements within the tool make it an ideal conduit to centralize IT management in one location and cut costs on running support in every location.

The tool focuses on the health of network devices, which are generic and not industry-specific, so OpManager is suitable for all sectors and all types of businesses that have sizeable networks to run.

The wireless network monitoring module of OpManager is a very useful tool. Many companies deploy Wi-Fi in their offices these days, often as a separate network for employees to access for private use.

The network monitor shows the signal strength of all wireless access points on the premises and can also record the amount of traffic running to each wireless router. It also displays utilization statistics that illustrate when wireless routers are overloaded.

The Wireless network monitor stores templates for each router model. Once the operator sets a list of required monitors for a router type, those settings will be repeated for each router of the same model. Further time saving is available through task automation and automated data gathering.

The network monitoring function of OpManager relies on the ability to query device agents through SNMP. Monitoring network performance automatically includes keeping an eye on the statuses of all the routers and switches that run the network.

The OpManager system compiles a list of all network devices and regularly checks on the status of various hardware elements, such as memory utilization and availability, disk space, temperature, and voltage. Spotting problems with those devices and dealing with them keep the network running.

OpManager takes full advantage of all of the information that SNMP provides and creates network maps from that data. First of all, those SNMP responses from device agents notify the manager of the existence of those devices. Thus, OpManager can compile an equipment inventory without any human intervention.

OpManager also creates a map of this information. Both the inventory and the network topology map get updated in real-time, so it is easy to see when new devices are added to the network and old devices are retired. It is even possible to see when devices are moved.

The network topology maps of OpManager are a great feature. The mapper Is able to show the network as links between all devices, just the Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices, as a 3D representation of the building, and as a map with all sites of a WAN plotted on it. Another great visualization is a view of each server rack with all the equipment in it.

Rival monitoring systems create separate network performance monitors and server monitors. OpManager covers servers as well as network equipment. CPU, performance, CPU memory, storage, disk, power supply, and fan speed are all constantly monitored and displayed as visualizations in the dashboard of the tool.
