::: ABOUT HP OVPI

::: HP OpenView OVPI (Performance Insight)

 
HP OpenView Performance Insight is designed to answer the questions that result from service level management:
  • Are you currently meeting your service level agreements?
  • What is the availability and performance of your services and the networks, systems and applications that make up that service?
  • If a service is not performing well, what components are adversely affecting it?
  • What components of a service are likely to fail and when?
HP OpenView Performance Insight provides the required insight into your management data for successful service level management. HP OpenView Performance Insight is a highly scalable and customizable reporting tool that collects, analyzes and summarizes management data from networks, systems and services. HP OpenView Performance Insight can help you implement service level management by monitoring and reporting on the systems, networks and applications that make up that service. The reports that are created can easily be customized for your customers or service managers. Not only does HP OpenView Performance Insight include out-of-the-box reports on management data collected and generated by popular HP OpenView tools such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager, HP OpenView Performance Agents and HP OpenView Internet Services, but it can also report on a wide range of network protocols and devices. You can customize the out-of-the-box reports, create new reports and pull in new sources of data to report on. HP OpenView Performance Insight gives you the flexibility you need to report on the data that is most important to you and your customers.

Features

The information generated by HP OpenView Performance Insight helps you:

  • Ensure the availability and top performance for your systems, networks and services
  • Diagnose performance problems using recent and historical data
  • Plan for appropriate capacity, maximizing the utilization of your current resources
  • Identify over- and under-utilized elements
  • Understand how the systems and networks are affecting the performance of your services
  • Document current network performance for internal use and customer service level agreements (SLAs) through executive summary, capacity planning, forecast, hot spots, quick view, top ten, service level, and cusomtizable reports.

 

::: ABOUT THE SIXHAT TECHNOLOGIES VIRTUAL LAB (MIMIC)
MIMIC Virtual Lab creates a real world lab environment with a network of Cisco Routers and Switches. It gives hands-on learning experience without buying expensive equipment. MIMIC Virtual Lab is for beginners interested in familiarizing themselves with the complex environment and for intermediate or expert users looking to sharpen their skills and move to a higher level. It gives a safe environment to practice. You don't have to worry about bringing down the equipment/network and affecting other users. MIMIC gives Network Engineers an ability to practice for certifications instead of just reading instructions. It enables Training organization to give a lab to students with the classroom training or e-learning courses. Students can interact with Routers and Switches, just like with real devices.

The Lab

Interact with the routers and switches, just like real devices:

  • Network of 11 devices
  • Cisco Routers (2501, 2524, 4500 and 7531)
  • Cisco Switches (2916, 3548)
  • Five end systems
  • LAN, WAN and Serial links

Users can Telnet in to any of these devices from local or remote machines as if they are connecting to real devices. Any number of users can connect at a time. It fully supports Cisco IOS® software and SNMPv1, v2, v2c, v3.

Device Operations

  • Logging in/out
  • Get into and out of different modes - User, Privileged, Configuration, Interface
  • Set passwords, IP addresses, clock rates, hostname, bandwidth
  • Assign routing protocols - RIP, IGRP
  • Ping other devices on the network
  • Save/load configurations
  • Boot using flash or TFTP protocol
  • Configuration of CDP, PPP, Frame Relay and OSPF protocols
  • and many other fuctions required for certifications

Lab Operations

  • Start/Stop devices, individually or in a group
  • Save/Load a configuration of the network
  • View configuration information of a device or the entire network
  • Troubleshoot
  • View the topology with connections and addresses
  • Open Telnet sessions
  • Context sensitive help

You can also discover and cofigure using Cisco Network Management applications such as CiscoWorks, CiscoWorks 2000, CiscoView and CEMF (CDM, GSR Manager), just like real devices. All the changes done using IOS are visible via management applications and vice versa.

If you are interested in creating your own devices and topology, MIMIC Simulator tool kit is also available. You can simulate as many as 10,000 devices in a lab. It includes MIMIC Recorder to record Cisco devices to help create the lab topology you need.
