MapSync is an EventIX application which solves the following distributednetwork and systems management problems:- Multiple management systems are used to monitor and control different
areas of the enterprise network.- In many cases the management systems are provided by different
vendors, with little or no compatibility between those systems.- Need for a single Map containing all the network areas.
- Need to maintain the map and database configuration current as the
status changes dynamically.- Need for cross "backup" between several management platforms.
Map Sync results in a more efficient operation since:- Network resources are only polled once.
- It minimizes network management traffic overhead between distributed
platforms.MapSync enables a company to implement the distributed network andsystems management the way it wants, also taking care of its LAN/WANnetwork configuration.This product extracts object information from the source managementplatform and exports them to the target systems.It keeps coordinates (x, y) for all map objects-- even for objects placedmanually. This ensures that the source and target maps look exactlyalike.All types of managed objects are aupported, including IP/SNMP objects andnon-IP objects either managed by proxy agents or non-SNMP applications.MapSync tracks the status of the network devices and updates the statusof the objects via TCP/IP protocols.It also provides backup capabilities. If a database is corrupted, theaffected platform can immediately recover with another platform's copy--including the last resources status.Under Release 1.0, MapSync supports synchronization of HP OpenView andNetView/6 systems. Support for additional managers such as SunNetManager(TM) is being integrated.
