Product Description The AlphaServer 8400—using the world’s fastest microprocessors, the Alpha

enterprise server. It is the solution for the most demanding business problems.
ServerWORKS Manager provides advanced server and network management
capabilities and is supplied with all AlphaServer systems. SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol) enables information to pass from the managed
system to the console for Digital UNIX, Windows NT, and OpenVMS for
AlphaServers. Using ServerWORKS, the system manager can build and view
topological maps of the network. Detailed server information is viewable,
including system, network, storage, and environmental information. All
AlphaServer systems are also supplied with management tools to complement
ServerWORKS Manager. These include StorageWorks Command Console for
storage management. For more information, see the "StorageWorks Software"
section of this catalog.
