About smart operations and maintenance

By integrating cloud, network, and endpoint, H3C Cloudnet smart operations and maintenance (O&M) provides network monitoring anywhere anytime and device O&M with ease. It offers excellent user experience through displaying network monitoring data in a clear and organized way. In addition, smart O&M provides abundant data, such as basic device information, health information, channel heatmaps, client event history and health information, greatly lowering the cost for network inspection.
