New Product Announcements
---------------------------------------
Digital Equipment Corporation
--------------------------------------------
At Summit '94, Digital will be demonstrating the first integrated system and network
management platform for Windows NT. POLYCENTER AssetWORKS, in conjunction with
Microsoft's Systems Management Server, combines UNIX robustness with Windows NT
ease-of-use to provide configuration management for the vast majority of open client/server
systems. POLYCENTER Manager on NetView brings the power of industry leadership
UNIX management capabilities to Windows NT on Alpha AXP and Intel platforms.
Together, POLYCENTER AssetWORKS and POLYCENTER Manager on NetView provide
powerful functionality for both system and network management.
Intel Will Preview LANDesk Manager V2.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LANDesk Manager V2.0 will fully support the DMTF DMI standard as well as feature new
task management orientation. DMI will allow information from PC sub-systems to be
gathered through a standard interface (a standard System MIF) thereby providing the basic
building blocks for asset management.
Hewlett-Packard
------------------------
Hewlett-Packard will demo the first DMI enabled Vectra at Summit '94 which can manage
all 33 standard groups plus 6 HP extended groups with over 250 attributes. The DMI enabled
Vectras will also be used to demo Intel's LANDesk and OpenView running together. HP's
DMI MIF Browser will also be on display.
Bridgeway Corporation Will Unveil EventIX Version 2.0 Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EventIX is a network management solution that bridges the gap between legacy systems and
SNMP systems. Network managers can now support non-SNMP devices from SNMP
management systems. EventIX provides a set of tools and applications for event processing
(recognition, filtering, and correlation) and task automation. Enhancements in EventIX
version 2.0 include
* Bubble Interface - A GUI for developing, debugging, and implementing EventIX
applications
* Support for SNMPv2.
* Improved NetView Interface - Allows data from the SNMP manager to be sent to
multiple IBM hosts simultaneously.
* Sybase Database Management - Intelligent agent for managing Sybase databases
Network Computing, Inc. Will Announce the LANAlert Console
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAN Alert Console will integrate the LANAlert NetWare management system with Hewlett-
Packard OpenView/UX. LANAlert uses intelligent agents running as NLMs on NetWare file
servers to periodically interrogate up to 200 essential NetWare file server events and over
135 NetWare workstation inventory and performance events. Returned values are compared
to 3 customer-configurable thresholds with 5 associated priority levels and alerts are
generated when thresholds are crossed.
LEGENT Corporation Will Unveil Paradigm/XP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEGENT will be demonstrating newly released Paradigm/XP, a comprehensive problem
management application designed to automate the help or service desk and simplify the
management of networks and distributed systems. LEGENT will also be demonstrating their
upcoming new technology which allows mainframes and UNIX machines to share problem
management information.
DeskTalk Systems, Inc.
-------------------------------------------
DeskTalk will announce TRENDsnmp 3.0 at Summit '94. TRENDsnmp is the world's first
true client/server, scalable SNMP application for enterprise network management.
MIBwalker is the primary data collection tool for TRENDsnmp. The main MIBwalker screen
displays the actual tree structure of loaded MIB together with object description and
definition fields. TRENDbuild lets the user create meaningful graphs and table reports
without using SQL. TRENDsnmp's tabular report format displays rows and columns of
information selected from the data repository or calculated from stored values. TRENDsnmp
graph reports provide time based plots of information selected from the data repository or
calculated from stored values.
ISICAD
------------------------
At Summit '94, ISICAD will demonstrate its new InfoManager software, an object-oriented
database application builder which allows simultaneous update access and reporting from
multiple relational databases. InfoManager functions as a point-and-click application builder
which allows the network manager and technician to get the data they need, from wherever it
is stored, ad easily structure it into a useful format. InfoManager is a true "drag and drop"
environment that transparently handles all interaction with relational databases. It lets the
user access multiple databases simultaneously, allowing the user to obtain the information
that is required for the task at hand, without having to worry about which database it is
stored in or where it is located on the network. InfoManager will complement other database
repository strategies, such as those being suggested by Hewlett-Packard and the Management
Integration Consortium.
Network Management Forum (NMF)
--------------------------------------------------------------
At Summit '94, the Network Management Forum will be providing details on its newest
working team -- SMART (Service Management Automation & Re-engineering Team).
SMART is comprised of users looking to cut costs, streamline operations and improve the
quality and delivery of networked information services. The objective of SMART is to
understand, prioritize, and meet all of the most pressing automation needs of these network
operators for which industry agreements are required.
