Alexander SMK

Alexander SMK(TM) (System Management Kit) enables system, IT-service, and appliance providers to prevent failures across systems and storage subcomponents from a standard Web browser. Alexander SMK's features range from pro-active alerts of pending memory and drive failures to real-time monitoring of environmental elements, such as CPU fans. Change-event notification warns of software and hardware asset alterations. A remote-management feature allows users to take over a troubled system through a Web browser from anywhere on a network. Additionally, the SMK ’s vendor-agnostic technology provides administrators with pro-active management, configurable alerting, a unified interface and the ability to efficiently manage all types of systems-— from notebooks and desktops to enterprise servers-— from virtually any physical location. Unlike popular system management utilities, the SMK installs in about 5 minutes and automatically configures itself. Enter an address to send an alert to, and it will begin reporting the system ’s state in about 60 seconds. It supports both Linux and Windows. It supports tier-one hardware including HP, Dell, and IBM, as well as many domestically- and internationally-produced independently-branded systems running either Intel or AMD 32- or 64-bit processors. It can be integrated with enterprise management products including HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, and others.
