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."
