Product overview

Providing reliable, private connections is a good way to improve the value of your network. Virtual private networks (VPNs) enable you to use the Internet as a medium for secure data exchanges. But VPNs must also maintain minimum service levels and improve network resource utility to allow the delivery of bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming multimedia. Established MPLS VPN standards enable flexible support for proprietary and standards-based networking equipment. HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) MPLS VPN Manager (MVM) was created to help administer these private connections. IMC MVM provides functions such as VPN autodiscovery, topology, monitoring, auditing, and performance evaluation, as well as VPN and service deployment, which enable IT managers to best allocate resources. IMC MVM also contains a traffic engineering component that helps operators monitor an entire network and deliver service quality by distributing suitable network resources as needed.

Management

MPLS VPN resource management — The MPLS VPN Manager (MVM) provides an easy way to add VPN resources such as provider edges (PEs), customer edges (CEs), and VPNs. PEs and CEs can be imported from the basic network resources, while VPNs can be either manually added or automatically discovered.
MPLS VPN monitoring, with MVM displaying both fault and configuration status of the network in real time, including —
- VPN access topology displays the link status of CEs and the core (that is, the connection and link status between PEs, CEs, and the core in real time).
- VPN service topology displays connections between CEs, helping to monitor the connections and connectivity status between client subnets in a VPN group in real time.
MPLS VPN traffic monitoring — MVM delivers the traffic statistics and report functions for VPN and service access, providing a way to analyze traffic trends in specific and general terms. Service access traffic is collected from the links that CEs use to access PEs. VPN and service access traffic statistics can be displayed in bar and line charts, and the statistics reports can be exported on a per-day, per-month, or per-year basis in HTML, PDF, or other formats to meet different needs.
MPLS VPN deployment — MVM provides the BGP MPLS VPN deployment function, which can be used to deploy a VPN through easy operations. This reduces the configuration workload remarkably. It also supports VPN link deployment and batch removal.
MPLS management VPN — By establishing a management VPN, administrators can add CEs to the management VPN, which can then manage the CE topology, alarms, and performances. To prevent building management VPNs that interrupt service VPN discovery and management, MVM allows you to set and filter the management VPN to separate it from service VPNs.
MPLS VPN report — MVM supplies an integrated VPN report, VPN connect report, VPN details report, and VPN access flow report. It also allows users to easily obtain VPN network information.
MPLS VPN traffic analysis — Integrated with NTA, MVM can analyze the VPN traffic flow based on different applications. It displays a chart and detailed VPN traffic information.
Layer 2 MPLS VPN — This provides support for LDP mode VPLS VPN, BGP mode VPLS VPN, VLL, and PBB. It can also assign different VPN priority levels to different operators.
