Liebert NformSoftwareLiebert Nformis featured intheseScenarios:Scenario AScenario BScenario CScenario DScenario EScenario F1-2 RacksSingle Phasepage 81-2 RacksSingle Phasepage 103-6 RacksSingle Phasepage 127-10 RacksThree Phasepage 1410-30 RacksThree Phasepage 1630-60 RacksThree Phasepage 18Liebert Nform is a network communications system that willenable you to leverage the distributed monitoring capabilities ofyour network connected equipment. This software solutioncombines full-scale monitoring with simple to use deploymentthrough the use of the existing network infrastructure. It is bothscalable and adaptable so it can grow as your systems expand andbusiness needs change.Features & BenefitsLowest Total Cost OfOwnership:.Feature:Higher Availability:Auto-discovery of LiebertEquipmentThe ability to add multipledevice types quickly forcentralized management.Multiple Network Segments canbe scanned for networkedequipment.Simplified installation andconfiguration reduces overallinstallation time, reducing costs.Supports non-LiebertequipmentThe ability to monitor andcontrol a wide range of supportsystems.Provides monitoring of systemsby multiple vendors eliminatingthe need for 3rd party software.Supports current investmentsof existing systems deployedacross the enterprise, keepingcosts down.Web IntegrationSimple navigation of monitoredsystems from a centralizedlocation.NAEliminates the need forcustomized interfaces byutilizing the standard interfacenative to each piece ofequipment.44 Base Device TemplatesSince the device templates areinstalled with every Nformsystem, monitoring of newequipment is readily available.As infrastructure changes to thedemands of a flexible businessmodel, the Nform software bydefault is ready to adapt tochanges to the criticalinfrastructure.As additional equipment isdeployed the monitoring of thatequipment is simple, noadditional cost is required to addsystems to the Nform Software.Alarm Filtering – TrapForwardingFiltering of alarms lessens theburden on a NetworkManagement System withnumerous alarms that often hidethe critical alarm events.The software can be configuredto forward specific alarms to aNetwork Management System.Now send only alarms that needsome type of response. Reducedowntime by focusing on theroot-cause of the immediateincident.Device ManagementNo understanding of SNMP orMIB’s required for basicmonitoring.N/AMost systems require a goodunderstanding of SNMP andMIB’s. Device templates removethe technical aspects ofmonitoring SNMP basedequipment.Notification UpdateWhen system uptime is inquestion to due to powerfluctuations causing batteryruntime, the software can sendshutdown commands to thenon-critical system first givingmore runtime to system mostcritical.N/AAs alarms are received by thesystem, notification reportsdetail every system or individualthat has been alerted, allowingresources to respond accordinglyand remove the redundancy ofalarm reaction.Desktop ViewQuickly view the availability ofthe overall system with asummarized view.Provides a dashboard view of theentire critical managementsystem.This dashboard view allows animmediate response to changesin the critical system, ensuringhigher availability and reducingthe downtime.80Flexibility:

Features & Benefits continuedFeature:Higher Availability:Flexibility:Lowest Total Cost OfOwnership:Device SurveillanceEnsures the availability of eachmonitored piece of equipmentby active monitor polling.As long as the device supportsSNMP, the system can activelypoll equipment and determinethe online status.Some monitoring systemsdetermine the availability ofequipment by a simple ICMPping. Nform determinesavailability by SNMP, testing theinterface that is key to successfulmonitoring. This reduces thecost associated with unplanneddowntime due to failure of alarmnotifications.Device Diagnostics ReportDiagnostic reports can be run onmonitored equipment, detailingeach critical interface: SNMP,ICMP, WEB and Telnet, and itsreliability.N/AReporting on system availabilityand the overall state ofmonitored equipment and all itsinterfaces allows quickerresponse to problems with thesystem, reducing downtime andcreating a more reliable system.Shutdown of Workstation andServersWhen system uptime is inquestion due to powerfluctuations causing batteryruntime, the software can sendshutdown commands to thenon-critical system first, givingmore runtime to the systemmost critical.The software can be configuredto send shutdown notificationsto servers and workstations onany alarm event.Increases the runtime for criticalequipment; orderly shutdownsprevent the loss of data for keybusiness systems.Communications Loop-BackThe software will execute aninternal SNMP Trap that will besent on the network and rerouted back to Nform, ensuringthe software is operating per itsconfiguration and confirmingmonitoring availability.This loop-back test offerstremendous flexibility. It can beset up with any type ofnotification and configured torun at any time of the day.Due to changes in securitypolicies, often firewalls and newrouters are setup which preventthe passing of validcommunications of alarm eventsfrom monitored equipment.This loop-back test is crucial toavailability; reducing the costassociated with downtime dueto the lack of critical alarmnotifications.Condition Based DeviceCommandsWhen changes or faultconditions are imminent, thesoftware can be configured totake appropriate actions on themonitored equipment,automating the desired reactionsuch as turning on additionalcooling or rebooting of systems.The software can be configuredto take immediate action onequipment, taking a holisticapproach on the overall criticalsystem.Maximizes efficiency, automatesoperational changes to systemto automatically respond toenvironmental or alarm events.This ultimately reduces the costassociated with dispatchingpersonnel to alarm events.81

Liebert Nform SoftwareFrequently Asked QuestionsQuestionResolutionCan Liebert Nform shutdownoperating systems when analarm is received, as your LiebertMultiLink software does?Yes, by adding the Liebert MultiLink shutdown license, Liebert Nform can be setup to sendshutdown commands to Liebert MultiLink 1.5 clients.If I am not using Liebertequipment, can I still use Nform?Yes. Liebert can custom build templates for your UPSs to work with Liebert Nform.Do I need a dedicated machineto run the system?No, Liebert Nform can be installed on your computer to manage a few devices.I have a NMS (NetworkManagement System) why do Ineed Liebert Nform?Liebert Nform is specifically designed to manage the critical equipment working with anNMS. It can be used to filter alarms and send only the most critical alarms to an NMS.82
