AdventNet Web NMS is a modular three-tier, protocol neutral framework written in Java, that serves as a foundation for building full-fledged, feature filled web-based network and element management systems. It consists of a Server component and a Client component. The Java based server runs as an application and connects to SNMP and other data sources of the back-end, hooks on to any JDBC compliant database for data storage, and connects these resources to web-based clients. The clients are Java applets running in web browsers as well as in HTML pages.
The Web NMS performs auto-discovery of network resources, trap reception and event logging, alerts, event correlation, SNMP MIB loading and browsing, data collection and reports. It comes integrated with a web-server for connecting to browser based clients.
The Web NMS provides APIs for accessing the network database, events and alerts, maps, and reports. These APIs enable developers to build network management solutions.
