include a relational database and may
be deployed on a dedicated Sun or
Windows server or in a virtual server
environment. The server supports core
functions such as discovery of managed
objects, receiving and processing alarm
information and notifications, data
collection, report generation, status
polling and northbound interfaces. All
updates relative to the database are
processed through the server.

hardware inventory populated in the
network, to providing detailed network
topology and configuration information.
