Server monitoring software

[RyanS]

I am currently using Dell OpenManage to monitor server events. I am going to stop using OpenManage & am looking for a software that can optimally do most the following:
*monitor Server OS activity and health
*monitor network activity between server & switches
*Can be configured to monitor specific applications on the server

I would like something that will email me notices and produce logs of activity. We are running a Win2003 environment with a mixture of Dell Poweredge servers and HP blades. Most of our networking equipment is Cisco.

I look forward to any recommendations.

Here's what we use. Probably expensive though.

Thanks Dave, looking at their white papers now.
