Bridgeway Announces EventIX MapSync 2.2; Revolutionary Distributed Network Management Solution Enhances Synchronizing of Topology Databases.REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 1996--Bridgeway Corporation today announced MapSync version 2.2, which supports Hewlett- Packard's OpenView, SunSoft's SunNet Manager, and IBM's NetView for AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) IBM's Unix-based operating system which runs on its Intellistation workstations and pSeries, p5, iSeries and i5 server families. . MapSync is a network management application that synchronizes object databases and network topology See topology. mapping functions across dissimilar platforms under the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. management protocol. With MapSync 2.2, users can share topology, map and event information across multiple SNMP management platforms, giving the user the ability to distribute management functions regardless of the vendor platform. MapSync 2.2 provides a solution for more complete enterprise management. With MapSync 2.2, synchronized maps can be sent automatically and simultaneously to several mangers without having to rediscover the network. Manual changes from one map are incorporated together with filtering criteria allowing transmitted maps to be customized for each operating environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. . MapSync 2.2 has added the ability to filter out certain SNMP configuration information contained within the platform's database, such as community strings, time out intervals, and proxy hosts from the MapSync data that is sent to a client manager. This MapSync 2.2 feature adds value to security applications whereby the server manager may not want particular information to be shared by the client manager. New MapSync 2.2 features include: -0- -- Ability to stop individual clients from a client computer -- Upon synchronization, only status updates are transferred -- Status updates can now be sent to HP OpenView HP OpenView was a Hewlett Packard product range consisting of an extensive portfolio of network and systems management products. In 2007 the entire HP OpenView portfolio was rebranded under the strengthened HP Software name. read only maps -- Generates an audit trail on all operations performed In addition, the EventIX application Brouterd Monitor is now included with MapSync 2.2. Brouterd Monitor is a graphics based The display of text and pictures as graphics images; typically bitmapped images. Contrast with text based. tool designed to manage interprocess communication See IPC. (IPC (1) (InterProcess Communication) The exchange of data between one program and another either within the same computer or over a network. It implies a protocol that guarantees a response to a request. ) between EventIX applications. This tool greatly simplifies the development and maintenance of complex, distributed and modular EventIX applications.
