SARATOGA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2001--ProdexNet,
an associate member of the DMTF today announced the
release of NetGather, an Integrated Reporting Solution.
NetGather is one of the first WBEM based applications
to address the data integration and correlation problem
in the network and
system management industry.
WBEM standards are
increasingly being adopted as a cornerstone for enterprise
management architectures and strategies. Leading vendors
are bringing standards-based products to market to address
critical infrastructure management issues. NetGather's
architecture to integrate and correlate data from disparate
management databases, is almost exclusively based on
DMTF's WBEM
standards. NetGather makes extensive use of CIM (Common
Information Model) to model management data and it uses
CIM/XML as the transport format. "Using CIM and
CIM/XML to address the problem of integration and correlation
was a logical conclusion for us. Integrated reporting
is a good application to leverage WBEM standards,"
said Sujatha Bodapati, co-founder and VP of ProdexNet.
NetGather also uses the DMTF's DEN standards to store
and retrieve user and service related information in
the Directory via LDAP.
"We're happy to
see ProdexNet leveraging DMTF standards in their NetGather
product, which provides validation for the implementation
of DMTF technologies in the industry," said Winston
Bumpus, president of the DMTF. "By utilizing DMTF
standards, customers will benefit from a more integrated
and less-crisis driven approach to management through
interoperable management solutions."
About NetGather
NetGather collects, correlates and reports on data from
disparate management tools for purposes of Service Level
Management, Capacity Planning, Usage Billing and Fault
Diagnosis. NetGather gives Service Providers and Enterprises

of their infrastructure, how it affects a customer,

service is performing against their SLA. Its web based
interface allows for reports to be viewed anywhere,
anytime, either by the administrator or customer.
