[edit]History
The foundational OpenView product was Network Node Manager (NNM), network monitoring
software based on SNMP.
[2]
NNM was used to manage networks and could be used in conjunction
with other management software, such as CiscoWorks.
[3]

HP has a history of acquiring network management software companies. n April 2004, it bought
Novadigm and its Radia suite.
[4]
n December 2005, it acquired Peregrine Systems with its T asset
and service management software and integrated it into HP OpenView.
[5]
n November 2006, HP
completed its purchase of Mercury nteractiveCorp., subsequently integrated Mercury application and
software life-cycle management products into the HP Software & Solutions portfolio.
[6]
n September
2007, HPacquired Opsware.
[7][8]

n early 2007, alongside the integration of Mercury nteractive, 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.
