NV4IP Server Components

NV4IP provides a browser-based user interface, which is provided on the installation CD. A NV4IP user has immediate access to the health of their network for their business enterprise through SysPoint, the primary entry point to the application.

Java servlets are installed on a Web server, such as Apache for Windows and Websphere for z/OS.  The server must be installed and running in order to access the monitoring/reporting functions available for viewing through the browser component. The Java servlets communicate with the Monitor through a TCP/IP socket interface.

The browser is the display platform and runs on any operating system platform that supports Netscape Navigator 6.2 or 7.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0. NV4IP is available to an authorized user from any intranetwork enabled device as well as from the Internet.

NV4IP consists of the Master, the Operations Manager functions, and the Performance Manager functions. It provides the historical charts and real-time reports that allow you to monitor the TCP/IP transaction environment, as it occurs and over time, for performance tuning, trending, and resource planning. The browser accesses the Web server using standard URL addresses, which invokes the Java servlets that retrieve the desired information from the host.
