FROM THE NETWORK CORE TO THE NETWORK EDGE
Traffic management becomes critical as your network
infrastructure expands to support different types of traffic and
users. Most traffic management solutions have serious
limitations: too expensive, difficult to use, and overly taxing
on bandwidth. However ProCurve Networking by HP addresses these
requirements, overcomes the limitations of other solutions, and
gives you valuable insight into LAN performance. Click here to

IS WIMAX REALLY JUST AROUND THE CORNER?
With excitement building about WiMAX, you might be surprised
that, technically, no real WiMAX products are available yet.
That is, none that meet the 802.16 profile as defined by the
WiMAX Forum and certified compatible by the Forum's appointed
lab in Spain. Will there be products? Click here for more:

Today's focus: AdRem manages NetWare and OES servers from a
single console
By Dave Kearns
Back in August, when I told you about the newest version of
AdRem's free Remote Console (FreeCon) for NetWare
<http://www.networkworld.com/nlnovell8752>, I also mentioned
that a new version of AdRem's Server Manager product would soon
be released. Well, "soon" arrived (along with Server Manager
5.0) last Friday.
AdRem Server Manager is a tool that lets you manage all of your
NetWare and Open Enterprise Server servers - Version 4.11 and
later - from a single console. The dashboard-style console gives
you a network-wide view of all your managed servers complete
with information about their health, configuration, connected
users, file systems, NLMs, trustees, and most other critical
aspects. You can easily detect and resolve problems - and even
anticipate them.
Server Manager also allows automating and task-scheduling
cross-server operations such as configuration management, or
file and software distribution, helping you to mitigate the risk
of downtime, improve server consistency, and consolidate your
multiple server environment.
Major enhancements in AdRem Server Manager 5.0 include:
* A single consolidated view of all servers with key performance
indicators in sortable columns.
* Multiple real-time trend chart views for different servers.
* The ability to copy files from multiple servers to the local
workstation.
* A new option to compare server configuration files across
multiple servers.
* Daily/weekly/monthly trend reports of server parameters.
* Reportable comparisons of long-term trends across multiple
servers.
* Instant access to statistics for the last 15 and 60 minutes of
any monitored performance counter.
* A dashboard-like view of server status and health.
* New monitored performance objects including those related to
NSS, Remote Manager and NSS Volume Inventory.
* The ability to sort and filter log parameter columns and the
option to limit the displayed content of large log files.
* The ability to create custom reports from defined templates
based on collected performance data.
There's also a new, streamlined user interface, improved
sorting, filtering and customization of table information, and
an enhanced display of NCF files for easier reading. There's
even a copy of AdRem's Free Remote Console bundled with the
program for quick remote access.
There's even more but I think you get the general idea. Go to
the AdRem Server Manager 5/0 Web page
<http://www.adremsoft.com/sm/features.php> and check out all the
features. It's a great tool, and it's designed for NetWare from
the ground up.
