August 20 http://weblog.stranger.nlJanuary 17 Next Version of Xian Network ManagerThe next version of Xian Network Manager is a major breakthrough which will provide smarter device and network monitoring; service oriented monitoring for server applications, a management pack generation technology and powerful new integration with MOM.
Service Oriented Monitoring for Microsoft Exchange Servers will enable the next version of Xian Network Manager to discover the structure of a network which supports an Exchange environment. The Jalasoft technology, which will implement Service Oriented Monitoring for Microsoft Exchange Servers, will enable users to discover Exchange Networks, discover mail paths & monitor them and identify devices & interfaces, thus integrating networks with Exchange servers. This technology will provide alerts and execute tests on the network, streamlining the prevention of problems for Exchange Servers.
Management Pack Generator Technology
The next version of Xian Network Manager in combination with Microsoft Operations Manager, will provide a technology which enables network vendors to generate management packs for Microsoft Operations Manager, through an add-on which will work with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. This add-on will enable anyone to describe a hierarchical structure of the devices and elements to be monitored, create rules for these, create the management packs and finally generate reports for them.
Integration with the Next Version of MOM
Among the characteristics of the new level of integration you can find; improved state view, service diagrams, custom management packs, new SDK and custom views.
Xian Management and Monad Integration
The new Microsoft Command Shell (Monad) technology makes it now possible to create cmdlets that are embedded in the Operating System Shell. By creating Xian specific cmdlets, users will be able to handle the management of a Xian site through the command line and using management scripts that will be able to run even from MOM tasks.
I'll have to ask my friends of Jalasoft for a preview soon! Is that possible Arnold?
