CaseView GUI Interface

CaseView comes in two forms - Enterprise Edition and Workgroup Edition.

Workgroup Edition
This is the entry-level single user version for managing small to medium sized networks. All components run on a single system and support one user. The map database size is limited to 1000 objects. The Workgroup Edition does not include advanced reporting functions.

Enterprise Edition
This is the base system for a scalable multi-user environment. The Enterprise Edition includes the SNMPc Server licence, one Remote Console licence, and one Remote Poller licence. This system can be used simultaneously by two users, one at the server system and another at a Remote Console system.

There is a Remote Access Extension for the Enterprise Edition. It is a licence-only option which allows an unlimited number of Remote Console users and Remote Polling agents. It also provides JAVA Console support.

An Introduction to SNMP MIB II

CaseView is an SNMP-based Network Management System (NMS) that helps you visualise, monitor and pro-actively manage your network. It is a secure distributed NMS that will monitor your entire network infrastructure.

CaseView is powered by the industry-standard Castle Rock SNMPc7 System. Castle Rock have been creating network solutions since 1987 and, with support for all versions of SNMP v3, unparalleled ease of use, and versions for both small and large networks, it is easy to see why over 100,000 copies have been deployed.

CaseView takes the solid base of SNMPc and extends it even further, providing extra functionality and personalising itself to your particular network.

The CaseView 'foundation' software provides the following functionality.

Scalable
Use distributed polling and server components for workgroup, large Intranet or Management Service Provider configurations.

Graphic Display
There are three levels of graphical display within the CaseView system.
1. Topological - showing the topology of the network
2. Site - showing the equipment located on each subnet
3. Product - showing the product details.

A simple click of a mouse takes you from one level to the next, making diagnosis of problems quick and simple.

Multi-Vendor
View and modify standard and private information on routers, switches, servers and other devices from any vendor.

Tight Integration
As well as being able to manage all network devices that present an SNMP interface, tighter integration is available via add-on device-specific modules.

Remote Management
CaseView allows the network manager to connect to network elements via the click of a mouse and to remotely manage those devices using their native management interfaces, whether they use telnet, menu driven or web based Man Machine Interfaces.

Pro-active Network Monitoring
Proactive network monitoring using schedulable pings of devices to determine their network accessibility. Inaccessible devices are highlighted on the graphical interface.

Reactive Network Monitoring
Reactive network monitoring using an SNMP trap collection system linked to the graphical interfaces. As traps are received relating to network status, elements of the graphical interface (groups, devices and resources) change colour to reflect the presence/absence of an unresolved problem.

Rapid Notification of problems.
Catch problems quickly with Email and Pager event notifications. Forward events to helpdesk or domain management systems.

Up and Downloading of device configurations.
CaseView allows the network manager to both upload and download device configurations. This means an engineer with the minimum skill levels can replace a network element in the field, and the network manager can re-instate that devices configuration from the CaseView system.

Reporting System
Reporting system to allow the generation of management reports on network composition, inventory management, status etc.

Accessible
Monitor and manage your network from remote locations with the SNMPc Windows Client and JAVA WEB Consoles.

Application Monitoring
Caseview can be made to monitor the status of an applicaiton by polling its TCP applicaiton'port'

Integrated
Automatically export map topology, trend statistics and event log entries to industry standard databases.

Secure Access
Access to devices comes in various forms. Some devices can be accessed using simple standard protocols such as telnet and FTP. Others, however, require a higher level of security - Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Copy (SCP).
