CiscoView
CiscoView is a device management application providing dynamic status, monitoring, and configuration information for a range of Cisco internetworking products including the Catalyst 8540 MSR and Catalyst 8510 MSR. CiscoView displays a physical view of a device chassis, with color-coding of modules and ports for at-a-glance status. Monitoring capabilities display performance and other statistics. Configuration capabilities allow changes to devices if security privileges are granted.
Embedded CiscoView and server based CiscoView support the Catalyst 8540 MSR and Catalyst 8510 MSR.
You can download Embedded CiscoView from CCO: http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/netmgmt/ciscoview/embed-cview-planner.shtml

Resource Manager Essentials
The Resource Manager Essentials (Essentials) suite is part of the CiscoWorks family of products. It is an Enterprise solution to network management. Essentials is a powerful suite of Web-based applications offering network management solutions for Cisco switches, access servers, and routers. The Resource Manager Essentials browser interface allows easy access to information critical to network uptime and simplifies time-consuming administrative tasks.
Essentials is based on a client/server architecture that connects multiple web-based clients to a server on the network. As the number of network devices increases, additional servers or collection points can be added to manage network growth with minimal impact on the client browser application.
Taking advantage of the scalability inherent in the intranet architecture, Essentials supports multiple users anywhere on the network. The web-based infrastructure gives network operators, administrators, technicians, Help Desk staff, IS managers, and end users access to network management tools, applications, and services.
Essentials allows the network administrators to view and update the status and configuration of all Cisco devices from anywhere on the network through a standard Web browser as the Essentials client.
Essentials maintains a database of current network information. It can generate a variety of reports that can be used for troubleshooting and capacity planning. When devices are initially added to the Essentials inventory, the network administrator can schedule Essentials to periodically retrieve and update device information, such as hardware, software, and configuration files, to ensure that the most current network information is stored. In addition, Essentials automatically records any changes made to network devices, making it easy to identify when changes are made and by whom.
Essentials applications provide the network monitoring and fault information you need for tracking devices that are critical to network uptime and application availability. They also provide tools that you can use to rapidly and reliably deploy Cisco software images and view configurations of Cisco routers and switches. Essentials applications, together with links to Cisco.com service and support, automate software maintenance to help you maintain and control your Enterprise network.
Essentials works in conjunction with the CiscoWorks Server, which contains a set of management services shared by multiple management applications. These management services are enabled when a suite is installed and an application that relies on one of these services is opened.
Essentials uses the following CiscoWorks services:

Campus Manager
Campus Manager (Campus) is part of the CiscoWorks family of products. As an enterprise solution to network management, Campus provides a suite of web-based network management tools that enable administrators to obtain various types of graphical views of their network topology and end-user information.
Campus is based on a client/server architecture that connects multiple web-based clients to a server on the network. As the number of network devices increases, additional servers or collection points can be added to manage network growth with little impact on the client browser application.
By taking advantage of the stability inherent in the intranet architecture, Campus supports multiple users anywhere on the network. The web-based infrastructure gives network operators, administrators, technicians, Help Desk staff, IS managers, and end-users access to network management tools, applications, and services.
