Editing HP OpenView (section)

==History==
The foundational OpenView product was Network Node Manager (NNM), [[network monitoring]] software based on [[SNMP]].<ref>[http://www.osalt.com/openview-network-node-manager “HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.5”]</ref> NNM was used to manage networks and could be used in conjunction with other management software, such as CiscoWorks.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=8yzSz5oeh7MC&dq=nnm+ciscoworks&pg=PA142 Fognet’s Field Guide to OpenView Network Node Manager]</ref>

In April 2004, HP bought Novadigm and its Radia suite.<ref>[http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2004/040402a.html HP Completes Novadigm Acquisition Furthering Adaptive Enterprise Strategy]</ref> In December 2005, it acquired [[Peregrine Systems]] with its IT asset and service management software and integrated it into HP OpenView.<ref>[http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2005/051219xa.html "HP Completes Acquisition of Peregrine Systems, Boosting HP OpenView Software Portfolio" HP news release]</ref> In November 2006, HP completed its purchase of [[Mercury Interactive]] Corp., subsequently integrated Mercury application and software life-cycle management products ([[HP Quality Center|QualityCenter]], [[LoadRunner]]/[[HP Application Lifecycle Management#HP Performance Center|PerformanceCenter]], [[WinRunner]]/[[QTP]]) into the [[HP Software & Solutions]] portfolio.<ref>[http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2006/061107xa.html HP Press Release: HP Closes Landmark Mercury Acquisition; Companies Unite to Lead in Business Technology Optimization Software<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In September 2007, [[Hewlett-Packard|HP]] acquired [[Opsware]].<ref>[http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20070723005480/en "HP to Acquire Opsware Inc."]</ref><ref>[http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2007/070921xa.html “HP Closes Opsware Acquisition.”]</ref>

In early 2007, alongside the integration of [[Mercury Interactive]], [[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 continued as part of the [[HP Software Division]] business. HP Software became part of HPE after the HP/HPE split and HPE Software was eventually sold to MicroFocus.
