Hello, To follow up on Heather's question at the last conference call, I thought the concluding paragraph from an InformationWeek article to be interesting. http://informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=15306189 ========== Standards make the most sense when it comes to the data-center management tools needed to tie together servers, storage, and networking into the much-anticipated utility computing model, Haff says. The management software available today from HP, IBM, Sun, and others can do high-level management--checking CPU use and whether the operating system is up or down, for example--but the ability to dynamically reallocate system resources across different server platforms or create virtual servers requires a level of integration and sophistication not yet available from a single management tool. Says Haff, "None of the systems vendors can manage third-party products with the same thoroughness and depth they can manage their own products." ========== -- John DeCarlo, The MITRE Corporation, My Views Are My Own email: jdecarlo@mitre.org voice: 703-883-7116 fax: 703-883-3383 DISA cube: 703-882-0593
