HP Operations Manager for Windows Overview
HP Operations Manager for Windows (HPOM) is a distributed,
client-server software solution designed to provide service-driven
event and performance management of business-critical enterprise
systems, applications, and services.
HPOM enables management of distributed, heterogeneous,
e-business infrastructures and includes support for a broad range
of Windows and UNIX systems and applications, including e-commerce,
web and application servers, conferencing and emails, databases,
ERP software, and more.
Using HPOM, administrators can maximize IT system performance,
reduce downtime, delegate tasks to operators, and reduce costs.

in your service environment.

breadth and perspective, as well as specialty management solutions
for specific disciplines.
