Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is the Compaq application for easily managing network devices.
Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of
the servers.
In Compaq servers, every hardware subsystem, such as disk storage, system memory, and
system processor, has a strong set of management capabilities. Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault
Management prevents faults before they happen, keeps the system up and running in the
unlikely event of a failure, and delivers rapid server recovery to normal operation after a fault.
