, VP, Marketing & Product Development. These enhancements include compatibility and support for Sun Solaris 10 environments, in addition to continued support for Solaris 7, 8 & 9, along with 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]

IT systems operators are responsible for an increasingly large number of devices across their networks, and each device generally has a large number of objects associated with it. RealOps TrapBlaster is a software-based solution that receives, filters and converts SNMP traps across a wide range of standards-based protocols. SNMP traps generated from any device can be sent directly to TrapBlaster where they are filtered, converted or forwarded to any network management application securely and reliably. The new version of TrapBlaster can migrate existing SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 devices to standards-based SNMPv3 traps with strong authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC.

 and encryption. In addition, TrapBlaster guarantees trap delivery and allows users to replicate traps for delivery to multiple network management devices. TrapBlaster can be used as the distribution point for all SNMP traps, enabling easy reconfiguration of management tools without changing the trap destination on devices.

The new RealOps TrapBlaster provides:

--Secure encryption of management networks

--Full compliance with SNMPv3

--Fault tolerant and high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue.  architecture

--Extended management beyond current Network Management Software

--Increased visibility to additional IT infrastructure

--Reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR (Mean Time To Repair, Mean Time To Restore) The average time it takes to repair a failed component. See reliability.

--Secure interconnection of disparate networks

--Support for traps with object identifiers (OIDs) containing up to 128 sub-identifiers
