Product Name:
Solstice Cooperative Consoles
Product Description:
Solstice Cooperative Consoles interconnects multiple Solstice SunNet Manager
consoles together to enable cooperative management of medium to large enterprise networks. Topology changes as well as event and trap information are forwarded between consoles. Changes to one user's map are automatically reflected on others' maps real-time. Both users can make data requests to components in the common network. Most importantly, Solstice Cooperative
Consoles allows flexible configurations in how consoles are interconnected and
in configuring the amount of management data sent between consoles.
Solstice Cooperative Consoles provides users with the following benefits:
-
Manage larger networks: It is easier to manage larger networks as each
Solstice SunNet Manager console can manage just a site or a region and
then be interconnected to other consoles.
-
Leverage networking expertise across the enterprise: Management responsibility can be delegated across multiple consoles located anywhere in the enterprise.
-
Flexible organization of management responsibility: Solstice Cooperative Consoles lets users manage their network the way they manage their business. Global or ganizations can transfer network management control from different geographic sites in adjusting for time changes. It also allows multiple managers in a single site to share management responsibility with
each individual being responsible for different parts of the overall network.
