LAS VEGAS, NV -- 04/29/08 --
Xandros, Inc., a leading provider of
mixed-environment management tools, intuitive Linux solutions, and Scalix
e-mail services, today announced the beta presentation of Xandros
BridgeWays Management Packs at the Microsoft Management Summit. This
release is the first in a series of BridgeWays Management Packs designed to
help extend the capabilities of the Microsoft System Center to
heterogeneous environments. The new management packs will enable system
administrators to monitor and manage Apache and MySQL on Windows, Linux,
and Solaris from within the Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager
2007. Developed under the broad collaboration agreement between Microsoft
and Xandros announced in June 2007, the management packs released today
will be followed by others for such key data center applications as Oracle
Database, Oracle Application Server, IBM WebSphere, and VMware.
"Xandros' expertise in open source and its delivery of management packs,
which utilize the Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions for the
management of Apache and MySQL on Windows, Linux and Solaris, provides key
functionality for extending the benefits of System Center across the
heterogeneous enterprise," said Robert Reynolds, director of System Center
product management at Microsoft Corp. "The rapid pace at which Xandros was
able to deliver these offerings and its road map for future solutions will
provide our mutual customers with a wide variety of options for managing
applications across their environments through a single management
experience, and we look forward to our continued work together."
"The System Center Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions have
already delivered exciting results for Xandros. They enabled us to cut our
expected development time in half as we created our management packs for
Apache and MySQL running on Linux and Solaris, resulting in quicker time to
market and delivery of betas to our customers today," said Andreas
Typaldos, CEO of Xandros. "This new foundation from Microsoft enabled us to
focus on the development of high-level management functions for
applications, with the knowledge that the Cross Platform Extensions were
providing the necessary underlying interfaces to System Center Operations
Manager, enabling heterogeneous management from a single location across
customer environments."
