It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). enterprise solutions, and LINMOR Technologies (CDNX:LIR), a leading developer of network management systems for managing the Internet network infrastructure, today announced that they are working together on a hardware-software network management system solution that will offer significant savings to the Telco and Internet Service Provider Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. (ISPs) market. "We wanted to combine our network management software with a proven hardware system," said Tom Morocz, vice president of business development at LINMOR. "Rebel.com's NetWinder offers us the ultimate solution to bundle and sell our LINUX-based NEBULA nebula (nĕb`y  lə) [Lat.,=mist], in astronomy, observed manifestation of a collection of highly rarefied gas and dust in interstellar space. network management system." LINMOR recently announced that they have ported their entire NEBULA network management software product line to the LINUX operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . Bundling this software with the NetWinder will allow LINMOR to target the solution to both Telcos and ISPs with a more cost-effective hardware alternative. This is particularly important to those Telcos and ISPs who are entering the rapidly emerging Digital Subscriber Line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and (DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary ) and Internet over cable markets, where the typical network is comprised of millions of objects that need to be managed. The savings come from the fact that the Netwinder costs a fraction of what traditional UNIX systems cost to purchase and maintain, at the same time offering exceptional performance and reliability. The LINUX solution to be offered by LINMOR and Rebel.com will now enable carriers to cost-effectively manage this new breed of very large, complex networks at a fraction of their current hardware costs. "Up until now, NEBULA could not be deployed as widely in a carrier's network as they would have liked due to the high cost of the UNIX systems required to run the software," said Morocz. "A LINUX-based solution, particularly on the Netwinder, offers our customers tremendous hardware cost-savings. By lowering hardware costs for our customers, they then, in turn, can now afford to use our software throughout their network." "We are pleased to be working with LINMOR on this initiative," said Michael Mansfield
