HP OpenView is the former name for a Hewlett-Packard product family that consisted of network and systems management products. In 2007, HP OpenView was rebranded as HP BTO (Business Technology Optimization) Software when it became part of the HP Software Division. The products were available as various HP products, marketed through the HP Software Division. HP Software became part of HPE after the HP/HPE split and HPE Software was eventually sold to Micro Focus.
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.
History The foundational OpenView product was Network Node Manager (NNM), network monitoring software based on SNMP.“HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.5” NNM was used to manage networks and could be used in conjunction with other management software, such as CiscoWorks.Fognet’s Field Guide to OpenView Network Node Manager
