FOXMAN-UN is a Network Management System that typically is installed on one server machine (providing Server and Local Client functionality) and possibly on several client machines (providing Remote Client functionality). In case the FOXMAN-UN server breaks down for some reason, there is no redundant system available that operators can revert to. Of course, this can have fatal consequences: operators might miss critical alarms during this period which – not recognized and fixed – might lead to damage of the managed network infrastructure.

It is for above stated reason that more and more customers are seeking for a corresponding solution to the problem. Hitachi Energy’ answer to the issue is called FOXMAN-UN Main/Standby Solution.
