Navisphere Overview

Dell | EMC products are managed using the Navisphere Suite. Navisphere software gives administrators the power to plan, configure, tune and monitor Dell | EMC products remotely when installed on a management workstation. Navisphere uses an interface similar to Microsoft Windows Explorer, so it can be easily navigated by IT personnel.

  • Navisphere Manager: Used for configuration, management, and event notification.

  • Navisphere Organizer: Allows creation of custom views and comprehensive reports of all Fibre Channel resources.

  • Navisphere Event Monitor: Provides information to administrators when status changes or failures occur within Dell | EMC devices.

  • Navisphere Analyzer: Analyzes storage trends so administrators may optimize performance of Dell | EMC systems.

  • Navisphere Integrator: Interprets incoming SNMP trap messages, allowing location of problem arrays on HP Openview or Tivoli TME network maps.

  • Navisphere Agent / CLI: Allows administrators to issue commands to arrays from a command line interface

Navisphere also integrates with the following applications:

  • Remote Monitoring/CLARalert: Service program that provides early notification and remote diagnostics .

  • Access Logix: Allows data protection shared storage access, and security to be applied to heterogeneous SAN environments.

  • MirrorView: Used for remote synchronous mirroring of data.
