NEC DianaScope

Overview

DianaScope is virtual management software product aimed at reducing administration and maintenance costs through remote control over multiple servers.

• Server management and maintenance from a web browser
• OS-independent system operation. You may choose Windows or Linux.
• Scheduled operation and remote control of grouped servers.

Key Benefits

• In case the managed server fails, information associated with a failure can be retrieved from a remote web browser. Maintenance activities for restore are executed from a remote location, while reducing the time and labor for maintenance.
• The managed server status is available to view on a remote web browser. The managed server display can also be controlled from a remote console. This saves the IT staff the time to visit the site.
• Group-basis remote control over several servers allows consolidated system management and operational cost reduction in a large-scale server environment.
• Operation can be scheduled for each server group, even in the environment with no UPS enabled, for efficient server administration.
