Nirvana Enterprise Manager

Nirvana provides a powerful management tool that enables the capture of extremely granular metrics, management and audit information from multiple Nirvana realms. The enterprise realm manager also allows you to control, configure and administer all aspects of any Nirvana realm or clusters of realms.

Nirvana's Enterprise Manager has been completely written using the Nirvana management API and so any of its functionality can be easily integrated into bespoke or 3rd party systems management services.

The Nirvana Enterprise Manager and administration API use in-band management. This ensures that the flexibility of Nirvana connections is also made available from a management / monitoring perspective. Nirvana realms can be managed remotely over TCP/IP sockets, SSL enables sockets, HTTP and HTTPS as well as through normal and user-authenticated HTTP/S proxies.
