Net Inspector is a general
remote management system running on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME,
Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP platforms.
For successful management of a distributed system you have to use efficient management tools. Management tools are usually designed for specific distributed systems like computer networks or public switch networks and they support a proprietary management protocol. Generally, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for the management of the distributed computer system. But there are still many devices that support only proprietary management protocols. Net Inspector is a network management integration tool which offers an easy way to monitor and manage different types of devices in distributed systems. Managed devices can support either a standard management protocol (SNMP) or a proprietary protocol. Net Inspector can manage such heterogeneous distributed systems. Net Inspector's extensibility is achieved with various plug-in module interfaces (Proxy Front-end Server plug-in modules for communicating with various devices, Plug-out Client Connect modules for connecting various front-end consoles).
Net Inspector is scalable. It is available in three versions. Net Inspector Lite edition is a stand-alone
management platform which integrates functionality of the Client and
Server modules. Net Inspector
Client/Server edition allows distributed management. The Server module
can run only on Win32 platforms, while Client modules can be Win32 or
Java applications.
In the Net Inspector Enterprise edition (will be released later this year)
multiple servers can be deployed in fault-tolerant clusters.
