“Among the newly named offerings is Patrol Enterprise Manager,
previously called Command Post when it was sold by Boole &
Babbage, a company that was acquired about a year ago. Patrol
Enterprise Manager now automatically recognizes Patrol Knowledge
Module agents and can accept events generated by those agents to
help manage a broader range of IT resources. …can be integrated
with competitors’ management frameworks as well as other management
applications, such as help desk software.”
“Patrol Enterprise Manager competes with MicroMuse’s NetCool
tool for consolidating events from multiple sys-tems. Both provide
event correlation, but BMC offers a broader range of tools that
integrate with it, claimed Bob Kruger, vice president and general
manager of the Patrol business unit in Houston.”
“BMC also continued to pledge its allegiance to mainframe
management with new tools for managing mainframe databases and
Linux on OS/390. … The new Patrol Knowledge Module for Linux
on OS/390 extends Patrol applications monitoring to Linux
applications on the host. It is also due in the third quarter.”
