Integration with Aruba AirWave, ClearPass, and HPE OneView Role-based administrative controls - provides comprehensive element management for multi-vendor devices via single Web portal. Administrators can access resources for managing and monitoring a device, add devices to the network, and view devices in a network topology, IP, or custom view. Administrators can see device health through the device details page, revealing real-time data, summary information, connectivity testing, and more; supports End-of-Life Notifications available as well
Virtualization management
- HPE IMC Software integrates management and the capability to integrate, discover, map, manage and monitor virtualized environments, helping to identify VM sprawl. - Provides insight and management of virtual networks, and reduces migration complexity by aligning as well as automating network policies with virtual images. - Supports VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM; IMC Virtual Network Management Software; and automatic tracking of the network access port of virtual machines Flexible, centralized reporting - provides operators with a comprehensive feature set for managing ACLs including viewing and configuring ACLs on devices managed by IMC, and importing ACLs. The ACL Manager supports basic, advanced, link, and user-defined ACLs. The ACL Assistant facilitates ACL template rule creation and easier management. The ACL Resource List provides a portal for viewing and managing ACLs with a Rule Set List. The ACL Deployment Wizard assists in the deployment of ACLs.
Configuration and change management - supports organization adherence to compliance policies and standards. This feature enables operators to create compliance policies and rules that check the configuration of devices.
- tracks assets as well as changes to assets. This feature provides operators with a list of asset and drilldown capabilities into individual device details or device audit details. Operators can also query IMC for specific audit records and manage the device auditing process.
Real time fault management - gives administrators the ability to create standardized VLANs across all devices in the infrastructure that support VLANs. They can create VLANs, then add, configure, or remove them from all devices that support this feature. VLANs can be deployed in batch or individually for devices configuring VLANs. Administrators can also see VLANs on a topology view.
Customized functions and third-party device support Performance monitoring and management - defines policies and enforces device settings consistently on selected devices; you can also use policies to manage VLANs and VLAN port settings or automatically apply a configuration template on newly discovered devices. Configure policies to send alarms when device configurations become noncompliant.
- generates, packages, and sends archived information about your network, device, or IMC Software to the appropriate Hewlett Packard Enterprise support or sales organizations in one simple step; this feature gathers the data you selected and generates reports and data files containing the relevant information; it delivers the reports to your selected destination by email, FTP, SFTP, or to a file location.
- desktop UI provides up to eight customizable icon-based screen interfaces that can be organized along specific tasks. Includes many features enabling administrators and operators to manage the network infrastructure. IMC also provides operators with many paths to the same destination. Operators are provided with quick start guides. With the My Favorites feature, operators can create links to the IMC features they use most often.
eAPI library and third-party applications Highly flexible and scalable deployment models - provides network discovery and topology, including detailed inventory of the network and accurate depictions of how it is configured. Supported views include Layer 2 and 3 as well as VLAN topology and the ability to create custom views like a dashboard homepage. Customization enables administrators to organize and control the network infrastructure. Supports multidevice context, Intelligent Resilient Fabric, and End-of-Life Notifications via device discovery
- with the Telnet/SSH proxy, an administrator can use a browser to remotely access and manage devices through Telnet/SSH without installing a Telnet/SSH tool on the PC client used to access the device. This promotes secure and controlled access to devices while providing auditing of changes on any device; supports SSH v1/v2
- monitors the availability and responsiveness of common network services via probes that you configure; the probes reside on local and remote IMC software agents and test services from servers and devices that you select when configuring the probes; monitor these protocols: DNS, FTP, HTTP, TCP, UDP, VoIP (using NTA module), SMTP, DHCP, ICMP, Radius, TACACS+
