IBM Software Solutions announces WebExec for IBM Software Servers
Research Triangle Park, NC, June 9, 1997 ... IBM Software Solutions today
announced the availability of the IBM Software Server WebExec, a Web-based tool
which provides customers with remote, integrated cross-server administrative
capability. With this announcement, IBM takes Web-based server administration
to a new dimension. The WebExec makes the management of IBM Software Servers
easier than ever by utilizing cross-platform Java technology.
WebExec provides an integrated approach to centralized, remote administration
of the IBM Software Servers. It allows network administrators to remotely
manage the Software Servers via the Internet--or the company intranet--using
any standard Web browser that supports HTML 3.0, JavaScript, and Java.
Organized as a set of modular functions, WebExec provides immediate benefits
with future expandability.
WebExec provides significantly easier management capability of the IBM Software
Servers. A simple consistent graphic interface provides a convenient,
at-a-glance status of each server and preserves the look and feel across
servers and platforms. WebExec permits systems administrators to execute basic
server administrative tasks such as start or stop the server, monitor server
status, view log and statistical information, and access individual server
Web-based capabilities.
WebExec can grow with business and systems needs. WebExec will accommodate the
integration of non-IBM software servers, and users can seamlessly add
Web-accessible applications to the administrative function set. Any
application that can be accessed via a Java-enabled browser can be added to the
WebExec function set.
WebExec will initially support the following Version 4 IBM Software Servers:
- DB2 Database Server for OS/2 and Windows NT
- Internet Connection Server for OS/2, AIX, and Windows NT
- Lotus Domino Server for Windows NT
- Transaction Server for OS/2 and Windows NT
All the IBM Software Servers on NT, OS/2 and AIX platforms will be supported
over time.
IBM Software Server customers can download WebExec today at no charge from
http://booksrv2.raleigh.ibm.com/eagle/. This site also provides a number of
support features for the WebExec product including: on-line forums for
feedback, comments, and service; a feedback survey; and extensive product
documentation.
This is an opportunity for all Software Specialists to provide valuable
information to their customers by bringing the no-charge WebExec product to
their attention.
