These slides have been assembled to provide an OpenView Strategy &
Solutions presentation framework. It is unlikely that you will use all
these slides in one presentation. Further, you will likely need to
draw on product specific presentations to address particular needs of
your customers. (A few product slides are included and can be
substituted with other slides if appropriate to your audience. Please
access the various Hotlines for other OpenView product presentations.
With an intentional emphasis on promoting what we can deliver, future
product details are limited.)
OVS01.GAL
HP OpenView is your solution to maximize the benefits of your
deployment of open systems.
OVS02.GAL
Three groups of people are interested in the deployment and use of open
systems: those that build the systems, those that use the systems and
those that are responsible for managing the systems. This presentation
focuses on the needs and solutions for those people that are managing
the systems.
OVS03.GAL
The OpenView overview provides a quick look at OpenView before diving
into the details of the problem and the solutions. Next we will look
at the needs we see in the user community, both for today's systems and
for the systems that are being planned for the future. In response to
those needs, the vendor community has taken a number of positive steps
forward, consistent with, and in some cases driven by the OpenView
program. We will close with a look at the award winning OpenView
solutions that are available to solve real problems today.
OVS03A.GAL
HP OpenView is a family of integrated products and services that are
pulled together through a common understanding of customer needs.
We've a great deal of attention to building solutions on a common
framework in order to provide maximum productivity gains to users of
these solutions.
OVS03B.GAL
The scope of network and system management is immense. It covers a
range of management functions applied to a large number of elements
from many different vendors. In addition, users with a variety of
responsibilities will need access to this management information, often
in formats that vary with job function. This management information is
required throughout the planning, implementation and operations
lifecycle of the network.
OVS03C.GAL
Many individuals and groups concerned about this problem began to pull
together to work on these problems. This excerpt from the Open
Software Foundation's document on the Distributed Management
Environment gives a summary of the problem.
OVS03D.GAL
In response to issues our customers face, HP has formed the OpenVIew
program. Our mission is to be the world's leading supplier of
integrated solutions to managers of open systems environments. These
products and services will be delivered at a competitive price and
increase their service levels provided to users while controlling
costs. You can think of OpenView as the Microsoft of the Network and
System management business.
OVS03E.GAL
Unlike most programs from other companies, HP OpenView is measured and
managed as an independent software business, increasing our focus on
providing key differentiating value through a disciplined execution of
a solid business plan.
We have outlined a three phase plan to achieve the business goals we've
set for ourselves. First, we established leadership with our
architecture and technologies. We invested a significant amount of
time in developing and delivering the OpenView architecture. We
pioneered such inventions as Auto Discovery (automatic and dynamic
discovery of the entire network) and Auto Layout (a rule-based process
that understands the rules of TCP/IP networks and presents maps of the
network according to these rules).
In the second phase, we delivered our products through key channels to
achieve industry-wide acceptance. We developed relationships with key
strategic adopters of our architecture and software environment. These
include companies and organizations such as IBM, NET, OSF, X/Open and
the NM Forum. Of course, technology by itself is uninteresting if it
doesn't solve customer problems. To this end, we have worked with many
large end users and now have OpenView installed managing over 6000
networks around the world. We continue to see accelerating growth in
the number of OpenView partners and solutions deployed around the
world.
We are now focusing on continuted development and delivery of
solutions. The network and systems management market is becoming more
mature as users need to maximize the value of their network and systems
investment while maintaining a focus on their business, A variety of
channels, including HP's direct sales force and Professional Services
Organization, develop and deliver OpenView solutions.
OVS03F.GAL
As a clear endorsement of our market position, CommunicationsWeek
reported in September 1991, that HP OpenView has already become the
leading supplier of open management solutions based on the pervasive
SNMP standard.
OVS04.GAL
Now let's look at the user needs that are driving our investment
decisions for OpenView solutions. We hear our customers, around the
world, ask for powerful tools that will allow them to achieve better
control of resources, improve service levels and reduce their overall
operating costs.
OVS05.GAL
Let's look at what users are saying to researchers in the industry.
OVS06A.GAL
OVS06B.GAL
OVS06C.GAL
A research study conducted by Infonetics provided new insights into the
costs that companies are enduring when their networks fail.
Key points to note:
Average cost of downtime is $30K/hr
It takes 3.65 different people to repair problems
OVS07.GAL
Industry Response
Integration of systems can reduce the number of people required to
solve individual problems by providing the end-to-end information
needed by managers. Two key organizations, X/Open and OSF have
pioneered agreements that will lead to the delivery of integrated
management systems.
OVS08.GAL
X/Open established a group to specify a set of APIs for network and
system management applications. Sun, DEC and HP/Groupe Bull submitted
proposals.
OVS09.GAL
X/Open selected the Consolidated API that was submitted by HP and
Groupe Bull. This API is a result of the OpenView API for management
applications extended through cooperative efforts with Groupe Bull.
OVS10.GAL
The Open Software Foundation chose technology that would manage OSF and
other systems and network technologies within customer domains.
OVS11.GAL
By choosing an open development environment as a standard platform for
network and system management applications, the OSF will encourage new
solutions from a variety of developers. By leveraging a standard
management framework, application developers can focus on their unique
value added and provide users with a rich choice of integrated
solutions.
OVS12.GAL
HP products and technology were selected as the basis of the OSF DME.
(The decision was essentially between HP OpenView and DEC's EMA; no
part of DEC's submittal was accepted by OSF.)
OVS13.GAL
The OSF chose portions of three HP products, the OpenView NM Server, HP
Network License System (NetLS) and HP Software Distribution Utilities
(SDU).
OVS14.GAL
The HP OpenView approach to managing open systems has been widely
recognized by standards organizations, industry consortia and users.
OVS15.GAL
The OpenView solution model describes the components that HP integrates
to deliver a complete solution. Only HP has the breadth and depth of
products, industry experience and acceptance and the combined
understanding of technologies such as management frameworks and test
equipment.
OVS15A.GAL
As a the supplier of the industry standard management framework, we
will also build on top of this framework and deliver solutions that
address critical user productivity issues. By delivering these
building blocks to other developers on multiple hardware platforms, HP
OpenView customers will continue to have the best choice of management
solutions from HP and our partners.
OVS16.GAL
Because much of the OSF DME is based on current HP products, HP
OpenView customers will benefit with the earliest possible access to
DME technology.
Our first phase involves early delivery of OSF DME technology to
application developers together with our robust TCP/IP manager (the OV
Network Node Mgr), As we integrate additional OSF DME technology
components into the OpenView family, OpenView customers will benefit
from the best management solutions continuously integrated with the
latest applicable technology in such a way that provides maximum
protection of today's investment, not only in products, but also in
training and the establishment of operations procedures. By basing our
past, present and future products on the same foundation that OSF and
X/Open have chosen, HP is now the only company that is so strongly
positioned to deliver on the promise of being the fastest path to DME.
OVS17.GAL
HP has been "walking the talk" when it comes to open systems. HP's
approach has been to manage the customer environment, not just the HP
components. To actually deliver on this open systems promise, OpenView
software is available from HP on HP and Sun hardware and from IBM as
AIX NetView/6000.
OVS18.GAL
To summarize our current position, HP OpenView has been selected by
IBM, OSF, X/Open and a large number of application developers as their
management framework of choice. This strong momentum behind OpenView
continues to increase the pervasiveness of our framework and provides
OpenView users significant cost savings in the deployment of the
integrated management systems.
OVS19.GAL
HP continues to pursue a multiple platform strategy to meet the
multiple price points, channel preferences and operating system
preferences of our customers.
OVS19A.GAL
HP's OpenView architecture as delivered by the OpenView Network
Management Server.
OVS20.GAL
Solutions, built on the industry leading management framework are what
really solve customer problems.
OVS21.GAL
HP offers a variety of products developed by HP.
OVS21A.GAL & OVS21B.GAL
These are the names of HP network and system management products.
OVS22.GAL
The list of products from HP OpenView partners continues to grow at a
tremendous rate. The HP OpenView Solutions Catalog summarizes the key
capabilities of these solutions.
OVS23.GAL
One such OpenView solution is the HP OpenView Network Node Manager.
The HP OpenView Network Node Manager is an end-user solution manage
multivendor TCP/IP networks on a site or campus. Using OpenView
Network Node Manager, network administrators can understand the health
of their network
at a glance.
Discovery, Single View Management, and the Application Builder greatly
reduce the time and effort users must spend managing their networks.
These automated and dynamic management features solve critical problems
customers face deploying networks today.

The OV Network Node Manager won top scores in both technology and
support areas, gaining the top user ratings of all 25 products,
including Cabletron, Sun and DEC management products.
OVS24B.GAL & OVS24C.GAL
Links into SNA and DECnet are often critical features required for
today's multivendor network management solutions. HP partners offer
these capabilities today.
Note: Add additional HP and partner solutions as appropriate to the
customers' interests.
OVS25.GAL & OVS26.GAL
Through our extensive experience, HP continues to offer superior
support and services, including specially designed support products and
services for HP OpenView customers.
OVS27.GAL
Summary: HP has the complete solution.
OVS28.GAL
In addition to good technology and unmatched experience in open systems
management, HP brings a focused business approach to this market with a
clear winning strategy, one that we've successfully executed to date.
