New Xandros BridgeWays Management Packs for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Enable Single-Console Administration of Business Critical Applications on Windows, Linux, and Unix
| Source: Xandros, Inc.
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) - BridgeWays, a division of Xandros,
today released a series of management packs that enable system
administrators to manage business critical applications on Windows, Linux,
and Unix from a single console. The new management packs help
extend Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 to additional
business applications on Windows and to the 85% of enterprise data centers
with cross-platform environments.
The management packs extend System Center capabilities to the management of
Oracle Database, MySQL Database, and Apache HTTP Server running on Red Hat Enterprise Server, SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server, Solaris, and Windows. Also released today is a JBoss Application Server
management pack for Red Hat, SUSE and Windows. The new management packs
join the previously released BridgeWays management pack for VMware ESX/ESXi. The BridgeWays
product line, which will continue to expand, was developed under the broad
technology and business collaboration agreement between Microsoft and
Xandros.
"Microsoft recognizes that customers often have a mix of software and
hardware deployed in their enterprise and effectively managing across these
IT environments is critical to attaining the highest level of efficiency
and harnessing costs," said Larry Orecklin, general manager, System Center
and Virtualization marketing at Microsoft. "The System Center management
suite delivers these features and by working with companies such as
Xandros, with their knowledge of open source, LOB and virtualization
software, these capabilities are further extended enabling customers to
deeply manage their heterogeneous physical and virtual enterprise."
"The new BridgeWays management pacts are significant in two respects:
first, they demonstrate the benefits of our technology sharing agreement
with Microsoft; and, second, they enable single-console management of both
proprietary and open source applications," said Andreas Typaldos, CEO of
Xandros. "By exploiting the new cross platform capabilities of System
Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, we can help enterprise IT managers to
reduce costs and enhance efficiency during these stressful financial
times."
