OpenView
Encyclopedia
HP OpenView was the former name for a Hewlett Packard product family that consists of network
and systems management
products. In 2007, HP OpenView was rebranded when it became part of the HP Software Division. HP OpenView software provided large-scale system and network management of an organization's IT infrastructure. It included optional modules from HP
as well as third- party management software, which connected within a common framework and communicated with one another. The products are now available as various HP products, marketed through the HP Software Division.
HP has a history of acquiring network management software companies. In April 2004, it bought Novadigm and its Radia suite. In December 2005, it acquired Peregrine Systems
with its IT asset and service management software and integrated it into HP OpenView. In November 2006, HP completed its purchase of Mercury Interactive
Corp., subsequently integrated Mercury application and software life-cycle management products into the HP Software & Solutions portfolio. In September 2007, HP
acquired Opsware
.
In early 2007, alongside the integration of Mercury Interactive
, Peregrine Systems
and Opsware
products, HP OpenView products were rebranded under the HP Software Division business, and the OpenView and Mercury names were phased out. The HP OpenCall
name continues as part of the HP Software Division business.
