Template-based administration
All of the thresholds, services, authentication information, and other device settings can be placed into device 'templates' that allow for an easy
way to make sure all of the settings for a given type or role of a device are applied and maintained uniformly. A single template change will automatically
propagate to devices that are linked to that template, making formerly time-consuming tasks such as changing all the bandwidth thresholds on 1,100 remote router
WAN interfaces extremely quick and simple — less than a minute to complete.
While the administrator is always free to customize settings on a specific device, any changes from the assigned template can be quickly viewed in a report,
and configuration changes deployed on any number of devices simultaneously — so an administrator never has to change settings one device at a time.
In addition, OmniCenter® keeps a comprehensive log of administrative configuration changes, providing an auditing trail which can be searched or archived
for regulatory compliance or change control.
Automated Application Discovery
OmniCenter® also includes automated application discovery, detecting running applications and open ports on a device, and placing it automatically into
intelligent Application groups, including E-Mail, Web, Microsoft File Sharing, Infrastructure, SQL Servers, VPN Devices, and many others. These default applications can
also be disabled if users have their own application groups they prefer.
Wizards provide easy tutorials for multi-step functions
OmniCenter®'s Wizard interface provides step-by-step instructions for completing multi-step tasks, helping to train administrative users while they work, and
guiding users through initial setup and crafting of multi-part automated reports such as SLA compliance.
Near-Zero Administration
By automating most repetitive maintenance tasks and using intelligent decoupling technology to prevent polling errors, OmniCenter® reduces the routine maintenance
tasks to near-zero, freeing personnel to spend less time 'managing the management platform.' Scheduled device autodiscovery and rediscovery can intelligently determine
how configuration changes on devices affect data collection and automatically compensating for replaced hardware, ports being activated or deactivated, and new
modules or firmware being installed on network devices.
The OmniCenter® web interface allows for secure and easy configurability from anywhere in the enterprise. Intelligent design and default settings
allow for minimal administration and quick deployment. OmniCenter® has been used for years in some of the world's largest and most complex environments, and has
been optimized for easy configuration and management of hundreds or thousands of servers and network devices.
