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
You have fault, now add more intelligence around performance in the context of the topology. Sure the network is up, but how well is it performing now, and in the future. Then what are you going to do about it?
High-level value prop for all performance iSPIs
Consistent presentation of fault and performance information in the context of network topology
- Performance state visualized along with fault and availability state
- Path Health
- Analyze traffic trends and congestion
- Isolate performance bottlenecks
- Discover and report on your internal network testing (IP SLA)
- Threshold based performance monitoring
- Reduces MTTR though detection of negative trends
- Application service delivery supported by end- to-end monitoring .
- Extreme scale, unified polling and a single configuration point reduces your costs
- Continuous discovery and monitoring
- Low administrative overhead with correlated, optimized polling
- Common administrative interface saves time and training
What’s new
Multi-Tenancy
Baselining of metrics
Forecasting for future planning including projection of time to threshold breach
Extended data retention periods for all data types
Benefits
Manage multiple customer environments from a single station
Quickly identify anomalous network performance behavior
Alert when network performance is trending toward near-term SLA breach
Metrics points: The NNM iSPI for Performance Metrics provides unified fault and performance management. A key feature of this is the unified polling. NNMi uses the same SNMP process to collect fault AND performance information on the same poll – this provides efficient use of the network and eliminates an extra poll for performance metrics. Performance data is then compared against thresholds and is used to determine state/ status in NNMi views (e.g. map views). The NNM iSPI for Performance Metrics comes with a diverse array of out of the box reports; and also includes reporting for both component metrics (CPU, memory, etc.) and interface statistics (utilization, errors, discards).
Unified fault and performance reduces MTTR though detection of negative trends before services are impacted. Furthermore, unified fault and performance increases operator efficiency and productivity by providing operators with access to and seamless workflows for both fault and performance data. With this access, operators are less likely to have to escalate issues to more advanced support personnel.
Traffic points: The NNM iSPI Performance Metrics 9.00 adds network performance management capability beyond NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics 8.13, including:
Increased scalability and performance, Integration with additional NNM iSPI products, high availability deployment architectures, extended device support and data export to CSV capabilities
QA points: Discovery, Modeling, Data Collection and Visualization of IPSLA Tests, out of box and customizable reports, Metrics include: Reachability ICMP, One-way loss, Round-trip loss, Jitter, One-way delay, Round-trip delay, TCP/UDP Reachability
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

HP Network Automation
Efficient Change, Automated Configuration & Secure Compliance
Real-time network visibility, automation and control for both virtual and physical environments
Automated change detection and configuration updates, policy enforcement, provisioning and patching
Single platform to manage network device models across all manufacturers
You can’t monitor without the visibility of the device configurations and to remediate issues. Save time and $$ with automation and visibility.
Manage configurations with HP Network Automation. This software is used to automate network change, configuration, and compliance management. Adds more realtime to fault and perf to actual configuration changes, and for realtime compliance and remediation.
Key features and benefits
Reduce costs by automating time-consuming manual compliance checks and configuration tasks.
• Manage virtual devices, virtual interfaces, and virtual device contexts just like all your other physical network devices.
• Pass audit and compliance requirements easily with proactive policy enforcement and out-of-the-box audit, and compliance reports (ITIL, CISP, HIPAA, SOX, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act [GLBA], and others).
• Improve network security by recognizing and fixing security vulnerabilities before they affect the network, using an integrated security alert service.
• Increase network stability and uptime by preventing the inconsistencies and misconfigurations that are at the root of most problems.
• Use process-powered automation to deliver application integrations, which deliver full IT lifecycle workflow automation, without scripting.
• Support SNMPv3 and IPv6, including dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 support. HP Network Automation supports both of these technologies to provide flexibility in your protocol strategy and implementation.
• Use automated software image management to deploy wide-scale image updates quickly with audit and roll-back capabilities.
