In the Spotlight March 2010

In March TKU we focused our efforts on extending our coverage of key BMC products.

The most prominent release for this month is BMC-TrueSight-Server-Automation-Suite.

As usual, we are showcasing the product on this page.

BMC BladeLogic Server Automation Suite

Our bran new set of patterns is capable of identifying any BladeLogic Server Automation Suite Application Server, including the NSH Proxy Server. The patterns are also capable of modeling the right communication link from each Application Server to the Database that's supporting it. Furthermore, the patterns are capable of detecting an additional relevant component: the PXE Server.
