Max/Enterprise(tm), and Cabletron SPECTRUM(R). FORMULA communicates with these installed products via their existing interfaces, API's or middleware. FORMULA software adapters extract and normalize normalize to convert a set of data by, for example, converting them to logarithms or reciprocals so that their previous non-normal distribution is converted to a normal one. the detailed configuration, historical (performance) and real-time information about the elements managed by these systems.
