01 Huawei eSight Brief Product Brochure

Product OverviewHuawei eSight is a next-generation comprehensive and integrated IP+IT network operation and maintenance

(O&M) system developed to manage enterprise resources, services, and users in compliance with Information

Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) standards.

Product Characteristics

eSight –– Integrated Enterprise NMSAs the network scales and the number of enterprise network applications continue to grow, so does the

number of devices, such as multi-service routers, gateways, and WLAN Access Points (APs), which enable

communication and collaboration in decentralized networks like enterprise campus networks and branch

office networks. An increasing number of core and access devices from multiple vendors are used in the

enterprise, each with its own management system, creating a nightmare for the system and network

administrators.

Component Description

eSight Unified Network Management Platform

Provides various editions (compact, standard, and professional) for enterprises. In addition to uniform management of devices from various vendors, topology management, fault management, performance management, smart configuration tool, and configuration file management, eSight Unified Network Management Platform allows users to customize management of third-party devices, helping users to establish a network management system catering for their own needs.

eSight Smart Reporter

Provides preset report templates to meet requirements in most maintenance scenarios.Provides the professional report design tool for users to customize statistics reports.

eSight SLA Manager

Integrates with devices' network quality analysis (NQA) function to diagnose and measure the link performance between network devices 24/7 hours and displays quality of service (QoS) statistics.

Administrators can set the QoS threshold. eSight notifies administrators remotely when QoS reaches the threshold.

Administrators can use the quick diagnosis function to monitor link performance in real time and diagnose faults, which improves maintenance efficiency.

eSight WLAN Manager

Integrates the management of wired and wireless networks, and enables service deployment in batches, service adjustment, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance.

eSight Network Traffic Analyzer

Collects traffic of routers and Layer 3 switches, analyzes network traffic based on the NetFlow, NetStream, and sFlow protocols, and allows users to customize reports. This helps network administrators to monitor the traffic and bandwidth usage and detect network bottlenecks in a timely manner, providing evidence for network planning and fault diagnosis.

eSight MPLS VPN Manager

Works with the MPLS function of routers and switches to provide visible end-to-end MPLS management of services and diagnosis of faults.

eSight MPLS Tunnel Manager

Automatically discovers the MPLS TE tunnels (RSVP-TE signaling-based dynamic tunnels and CR-Static signaling-based static tunnels) and LDP tunnels that have been deployed on the network, monitors the tunnels in real time, displays tunnel running status dynamically, and monitors active-standby switchovers and bypasses.

eSight QoS Manager

Monitors network QoS in real time.

Provides multi-dimensional data analysis and displays QoS information in graphs and dashboards, simplifying network management.

Integrates with the smart configuration tool, performance monitoring, Network Traffic Analyzer, and SLA Manager on eSight Unified Network Management Platform, providing all-round functions of QoS configuration, monitoring, and optimization.

Visualized management: eSight displays services and traffic in graphs and provides topology views, showing

network status and quality from different dimensions and in different modes.

Intelligent diagnosis policies: eSight provides various diagnosis functions, such as VPN fault diagnosis, WLAN

fault diagnosis, and SLA quick diagnosis, helping users to check network quality and restore services quickly.

eSight Data Center Automatic Management Scheme

Visualized management of physical and virtual resources:• eSight DC nCenter displays the connection and running status

of devices in real time, including the subordinate and connection relationship between physical TOR switches, physical

servers, vSwitches, and VMs.

Automatic migration of the data center network: • DC nCenter detects VM changes (for example, a VM goes online, goes

offline, or is migrated) through vCenter, and synchronizes virtual network configurations to the physical network by

changing network configurations between source and destination TOR switches.

Automatic assessment of data center KQIs:• eSight monitors data center interface traffic and conducts SLA analysis for key

services. This helps users to detect faults in advance and quickly diagnose faults, ensuring the QoS of the data center.

Network Description

Characteristics of data center networks: • The VM technology is widely used in data centers to reduce the number of

required servers and enhance service reliability. A data center needs to manage not only the physical network but also the

virtual network. How to ensure service continuity during VM migration is a difficulty in data center management.

The eSight professional edition, SLA Manager, Network Traffic Analyzer, and DC nCenter are recommended for a data •

center network. The deployment provides these functions:

The eSight professional edition uniformly manages data center resources.1.

SLA Manager checks network QoS in E2E mode, displays network QoS statistics, and diagnoses faults by link. This 2.

helps to locate and rectify faults on a data center network in a timely manner.

Network Traffic Analyzer monitors network application traffic at the data center egress and provides refined 3.

management to ensure proper utilization of enterprise network resources. This also provides the basis for enterprise

network expansion and traffic policy optimization.

DC nCenter uniformly monitors network resources (including physical servers, VMs, vSwitches, and TOR switches), 4.

displays the topology of virtual resources and physical devices, and dynamically adjusts physical network policies

based on VM changes.
