SuSE Will Bundle Linux System Monitoring with 6.4 Release
SAN MATEO, Calif. and HANNOVER, Germany, March 14 /PRNewswire/ --
Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFTW), a leading provider of
integrated event monitoring and systems-management software for Linux, Unix,
and Windows, and SuSE Linux AG, one of the world's leading Linux providers,
today announced a strategic partnership. As a result of the partnership, SuSE
will bundle Enlighten's Linux System Monitoring and Reporting technology with
the SuSE Linux 6.4 for Intel distribution. This technology will add
sophisticated instrumentation of the Linux environment for SuSE customers.
SuSE customers will be able to select Enlighten Monitoring for their Linux
system during the SuSE installation process. When selected, the Enlighten
Linux Monitoring Agent will be able to monitor and report on critical Linux
system and operating conditions including processor, memory utilization,
changes in hardware and software configuration and increases in network
errors. The Enlighten Agent will also point SuSE customers to the Enlighten
Software web site where they will be able to register and license the Linux
Agent and obtain documentation and information about configuring over 80 tests
that come with the agent. Additionally, SuSE customers can choose to upgrade
to the full EnlightenDSM product for single point monitoring and management of
Linux, Unix and Windows.
"The Enlighten/SuSE partnership is a dynamic combination. Their focus is
high quality and reliability and Enlighten's single point Linux management
provides more of both for SuSE customers," said Bill Bradley, President and
CEO of Enlighten Software. "With the new 6.4 release, SuSE customers will
have immediate benefit in monitoring the critical elements of their SuSE Linux
machines. Right out of the box, EnlightenDSM is easy to install and use for
comprehensive Linux management. This relationship allows SuSE Linux customers
to take advantage of immediate integration for Linux to existing Unix and NT
systems with technology that's been tested and bundled by IBM, SGI, TurboLinux
and others."
"Our customers are asking for commercial grade, scalable management of
Linux," stated Dirk Hohndel, CTO of SuSE Linux AG. "As our customers move to
broader commercial use of Linux they will benefit from single point, easy to
use management of all Linux machines and they increasingly will want to add
SuSE Linux to existing Unix and NT environments that need to be integrated and
managed efficiently together."
