“N.C. State University and OpenNMS.org will collaborate on a new
open source initiative to develop the next generation of network
management software.”
“As a result of the collaboration, NCSU will customize free
software tools from OpenNMS to unify and manage a large,
distributed campus network with several different platforms and
vendors.“
“Our network is always changing. We incorporate equipment from
multiple vendors, new functions and new protocols on a daily basis.
We need network management software that can help us manage change
and that can do it in Internet time,” said Phil Emer, network
operations manager for NCSU.”
