Unisys unveils advanced Sentinel self-management technologies.Unisys recently unveiled new Unisys Sentinel software that simplifies server and application management for enterprise solutions based on Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. . As part of a broader initiative to deliver industry leading self-managing solutions, new Application Sentinel and Server Sentinel 2.0 products increase manageability man·age·a·ble adj. That can be managed or controlled: manageable problems. man and interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. while reducing administration costs and increasing efficiency within the network. The new Sentinel products build upon proven systems management capabilities for scale-up environments and demonstrate the Unisys commitment to delivering superior self-managing technologies at the mission-critical server, database and application levels. Self-managing IT has become increasingly essential to support broad-based broad-based Of or relating to an index or average that provides a good representation of the overall market. The S&P 500 and NYSE Composite are generally regarded as broad-based stock indexes, while the popular Dow Jones Industrial Average is biased computing computing - computer trends, including server consolidation, policy-based computing and utility-based computing. The need to simplify management of computing environments has become an industry-wide necessity for enterprise users. Addressing this need, Unisys developed Sentinel technologies that simplify systems administration, improve system availability and reduce unplanned downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. . It enables simplified operations and management, increased security and an expanded capability for control of critical computing resources with added flexibility--all from one centrally managed, easy-to-access console. Sentinel technologies play an indispensable role in delivering the advantages of server and application consolidation, one of the key strategic solutions for which the Unisys ES7000 enterprise server was designed. Benefits driving the adoption of server consolidation by enterprises include business continuance/disaster recovery, improved security, quicker deployment and integration of applications to take advantage of business opportunity and better manageability. The Sentinel portfolio of management solutions helps automate To turn a set of manual steps into an operation that goes by itself. See automation. the consolidation process, providing administrators a comprehensive view of all applications hosted on a Unisys ES7000 from a single console. "The industry has recognized the future promise and benefits of self-management software," said Jon Burns, director, Unisys Sentinel Program. "Unisys is delivering viable, interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. self-managing solutions today. The Sentinel product line delivers real, ready-to-run solutions that minimize the complexity of server and application management and provide immediate results and cost savings." |
