It provides up-to-date fault and performance information about network infrastructure and Layer 4-7 network services. The hardware running HSE is the Cisco 1140, which is a one rack unit (1RU) that enables convenient deployment on the same rack as the rest of other Cisco e-business networking devices.HSE automatically discovers the entire data center infrastructure and instantly begins collecting statistics and management information, providing a current snapshot of the managed environment. HSE provides up-to-date information for operational staff to easily pinpoint the source of a problem. HSE itself is a manageable Cisco device with a full Cisco Discovery Protocol implementation and supports Cisco MIB II.
