NNM or OVO or something more??

[phabio]

Hello!
I need to realize a Network Management System for about 100 equipments for SDH, Ethernet, PABX, ADSL, Satellite DVB, Server/Router IP. All equipments have a SNMP interfaces. The NM Service are Fault Management, Configuration Management, Performance Management, Accounting Management, Security Management.
Which are the best HP OV systems I can use?? Is it possible to use only NNM or I need also OVO or something else??
Thank you in advance!

Fabio

Hi Fabio, well, if every device supports SNMP, I would go for NNM for sure.
Really easy to customize, for such number/kind of devices, for sure.
Cheaper then HP-OVO, better for "Layer3" management.
But, when it comes to Accounting features, I think you better come up with something else, if you could be more specific on this issue, may be we could recommend something else, no problem.

Hope this helps,

That's quite a list actually.

Performance Management - OVO I suggest
Accounting Management - agree with vlan, more info please
SNMP - agree with vlan, though OVO *does* provide better ways of "Event Enrichment" by querying devices and performing customised actions afterwards.
Config Management - Not OVO or NNM as far as I'm aware, though ServiceDesk does go a little way towards that.
Fault Management - OVO and ServiceDesk
Security Management -- pass, sorry
