Technical Overview

• Enterprise-Strength Performance
  Exclusive "in-memory" proprietary database technology manages thousands of messages per minute with unparalleled performance.
  
  
• Business Views
  An interactive utility for grouping and managing IT resources, either physically (system, user, etc), logically (web server, FTP status, etc.) or both.
  
  
• Enterprise Views
  Graphical dashboards of the entire network's health status with personalized backgrounds, on which you can arrange live color-coded Business View icons.
  
  
• Automation
  Action sets and commands can be configured to respond to particular messages or events.
  
  
• Scalability
  SmartConsole supports millions of events per day, offering the highest power and scalability to meet your current and future needs.
  
  
• Alert Escalation
  Messages and diagnostic information can be distributed to the problem owner rapidly, through an array of notifying devices.
  
  
• Wireless Responses
  Answer pending messages by using any Internet-enabled wireless device, your email or your mobile telephone (with SMS).
  
  
• Event Anticipation
  Specific events can be anticipated and action sets run if an event is not received (e.g. critical processes that are not completed on time).
  
  
• Pattern Matching
  Is it a user misspelling his password or a hacker trying to crack-in? The advanced pattern monitoring features protect your IT infrastructure against unauthorized access.
  
  
• Multimedia Knowledge Base Integration
  Text, HTML documents, audio or video files from an existing knowledge base can be displayed to offer support to operators and users. Save time when solving problems!
  
  
• Real Time Auditing
  Messages can be color-coded and included or removed according to importance. Current and historical audit data can be navigated graphically in real time, and exported to XML and other formats.
  
  
• SLA Assurance
  Advanced features and agents allow you to be on top of essential SLA indicators (performance, backups properly run every night, and much more).
  
  
• Duplicate Alert Suppression
  If your disk is getting full, one message could be enough for you to notice (not one message every 10 seconds). Avoid annoying duplicate messages easily.
  
  
• Multiple Consoles
  Have one Smart Console near the printer to manage it. One for security events only. One for all your iSeries servers. Other for your Windows boxes. One for your invoicing process. One for your SOX compliance controls. Or one for all. Maximum flexibility, maximum convenience.
  
  
• Color Coding
  Messages can be colored according to your rules (severity, system, etc) in each Business View independently, so you don't miss anything important.
  
  
• Icons for colorblind users
  For colorblind users, there are special icons allowing them to distinguish the state of the infrastructure and business processes by the shape of the icons instead of their color.
  
  
• Speed Filters
  A couple of mouse clicks will be enough for you to see only what you are looking for, saving your valuable time.
  
  
• WMI, SNMP and DLL Integration
  Out of the box integration with Frameworks like IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter, HP OpenView, BMC Patrol…
  
  
• High Availability
  Continuous operability is ensured by techniques such as secure handshaking, SmartReconnect technology, Agent status alerts, SMTP resiliency, and more.
