Jump to: navigation, search

HP OpenView is a Hewlett Packard product range consisting of network and systems management products. In 2007, HP OpenView was rebranded under the HP Software name and later in 2008 it was further rebranded as HP Software & Solutions.

HP OpenView was most commonly described as a suite of software applications which allow large-scale system and network management of an organization's IT infrastructure. It included optional modules from HP as well as third parties which connect within the well-defined framework and communicate with one another.

[edit] History

Historically, the foundation product was Network Node Manager (NNM), providing GUI services for other products which integrated with it. Nowadays, NNM is generally used in its own right to manage networks, possibly in conjunction with other products, such as CiscoWorks.

HP has a history of acquiring network management software companies. In 2004 it bought Novadigm and its Radia suite. In 2005, it acquired Peregrine Systems with its IT asset and service management software and integrated it into HP OpenView. In November 2006, HP completed its purchase of Mercury Interactive Corp., and from February 2007 is integrating Mercury application and software life-cycle management into HP Software.[1] In August 2007, HP announced its intention to purchase Opsware.[2]

In early 2007, alongside the integration of Mercury, HP OpenView was rebranded under the HP Software name. The OpenView and Mercury brands are being phased out. HP OpenCall will continue, however, as a sub-brand of HP Software.
