Cover of HP'S OpenView
This handbook is the complete guide to Hewlett-Packard's OpenView, the leading open management platform used to run TCP/IP network and heterogeneous client/server systems. Authors Jill Huntington-Lee and Kornel Terplan cover all aspects of the HP OpenView product, describing what it is and how it works from both the user's, as well as the developer's perspective.
