NSM4000 Appliance Overview
The Juniper Networks NSM4000 appliance is a dedicated hardware device that is
engineered to provide the computing power and meet specific requirements to be able
to install and run the NSM4000 Network Management Platform. The NSM4000 Network
Management Platform is an open, extensible platform that simplifies the management
and orchestration of networks and allows you to develop and host applications that
simplify network operations, scale services, and automate support. The all-in-one design
of the NSM4000 appliance enables administrators to easily deploy the NSM4000
Network Management Platform.
The NSM4000 appliance can be configured in either a simple or an extended high
availability (HA) configuration. HA configurations automatically recover management
services in the event of a device failure, improving the overall fault tolerance.
NSM4000 Appliance Hardware Overview
The NSM4000 appliance has a 2-U, rack-mountable chassis with dimensions of 17.81 in.
x 17.31 in. x 3.5 in. (45.2 cm x 44 cm x 8.89 cm). The NSM4000 appliance ships with a
single AC power supply module; an additional power supply module can be installed in
the power supply slot in the rear panel of the appliance. In addition, the NSM4000
appliance can also be powered on by using one or two DC power supply modules.
The appliance has six 1-TB hard drives in a RAID 10 configuration. Two externally accessible
cooling fans provide the required airflow and cooling for the appliance.
