NetIQ Expands Solutions for Managing Heterogeneous IT Infrastructures

NetIQ, a provider of systems management, security management and Web analytics solutions, announced several cross-platform modules designed to more effectively manage heterogeneous IT infrastructures.

NetIQ announced a variety of new cross-platform modules for BEA WebLogic Server and Sun ONE Web Server to streamline Web application management.

According to the company, from a single console, IT administrators can manage, analyze, and report on the health, performance, and availability of their entire systems — from the physical hardware to server-based applications – across Unix, Linux, and Windows platforms.

Modules to manage BEA WebLogic Server and Sun ONE Web Server are shipping today. Earlier this year, NetIQ delivered its initial set of cross-platform modules for Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 (MOM) and AppManager Suite that include support for Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Red Hat Linux.
