Product Overview - Differentiators Industrial HiVision v7.0 Industrial HiVision is network management software designed from the start to meet the unique challenges of supervising industrial networks. This seventh major release of the software includes the following new functionality: enhancements to assist with deploying the software, particularly for large networks improvements to supervision of the total network expanded support for third party devices changes to the licensing and delivery mechanisms
Target Markets All Vertical Markets Industrial HiVision was created to configure and supervise all managed products from Hirschmann and GarrettCom, as well as any SNMP-enabled products from other manufacturers. Some critical functionality, such as security status is limited to Hirschmann and GarrettCom devices. For all vertical markets, network security and network availability are the most important criteria. In every vertical market, network downtime is unacceptable.
Applications and Customer Profiles Applications With new functionality like network dashboard and scheduled device backups, Industrial HiVision v7.0 makes it even easier to manage large industrial networks. As no network consists of equipment from just one manufacturer, support for third party devices has been enhanced in this version. To reflect the success of the Security Status tab in v6.0, this function has now been extended to provide even more information. Customer Profiles Typical stakeholders for Industrial HiVision v7.0 which can be addressed are: Control, Design, and Process engineers: have to ensure that the network infrastructure is secured security status extension System integrators: need to configure and supervise equipment from many different manufacturers support for third party devices Companies which are responsible for the availability of their customers networks: need a good overview of the current network status network dashboard
Customer Benefits Best integration. Network management software from the same manufacturer as the network infrastructure devices ensures the most in-depth integration. Features such as Network Infrastructure Status and HiMobile are valuable tools for network administrators, and are unique to Hirschmann. Generic software manufacturers could not achieve this level of integration. Industrial HiVision v7.0 facilitates the deployment and supervision of large networks, while providing enhanced support for third party products.
