AppManager and XMP modules for UNIX, Linux and Novell NetWare. (Network News).NefIQ, have announced the availability of the first wave of its monitoring and management support for UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). (Sun Solaris, HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. , IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) IBM's Unix-based operating system which runs on its Intellistation workstations and pSeries, p5, iSeries and i5 server families. ), Linux (Red Hat) and Novell NetWare. The new cross-platform AppManager modules are designed to bring AppManager's Windows-based management and real-time diagnostics capabilities to popular non-Windows platforms. In addition the new cross-platform Extended Management Pack (XMP (X/Open Management Protocol) A high-level network management protocol governed by X/Open. Network management software written to the XMP interface is shielded from the details of the underlying SNMP or CMIP protocols. ) modules extend Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 (MOM) to support centralised monitoring of critical platforms beyond Windows 2000 for the same products. Enterprises that have standardised on AppManager and MOM for performance and availability management and real-time diagnostics of their Windows environments will also, it is claimed, be able to manage UNIX, Linux and NetWare servers from their Windows-based consoles. Customers using AppManager and MOM to manage their Windows environment will not have to retrain personnel to manage UNIX, Linux or NetWare. Products to be released in the next few months include: XMP for Sun Solaris, XMP for Novell NetWare and XMP for Red Hat Linux Red Hat Linux, assembled by Red Hat, was a popular, "middle-aged" Linux distribution (not as old as Slackware but older than Ubuntu) upon its discontinuation in 2004.[1] Red Hat Linux 1.0 was released on November 3, 1994. enable UNIX and Novell NetWare administrators to benefit from MOM's enterprise scale event consolidation. Users will be able to view critical events, and collect performance and availability metrics from the same console they use with their Windows servers. AppManager for Sun Solaris, AppManager for Novell NetWare, AppManager for Red Hat Linux, AppManager for HP7UX, and AppManager for IBM AIX provide real-time diagnostics and performance management of the most popular UNIX and Linux servers as well as NetWare. www.netiq.com |
