UNIX & Linux
NetIQ provides integrated systems and security management solutions that empower IT organizations with the knowledge and ability to assure IT service. NetIQ enables administrators to meet business requirements by providing solutions to successfully monitor, manage, and secure their UNIX/Linux servers. Our products deliver comprehensive service management for heterogeneous environments from a centralized console.
Business Problem
IT organizations today are facing increasingly challenging expectations. Tasked with meeting the constantly changing business objectives of their lines of business, the IT organization must also juggle increasing complexity, static or decreasing resources, soaring costs and downtime that is both highly visible and totally unacceptable. To ensure that end-user expectations, service level commitments and overall performance and availability objectives are met, IT organizations are moving from the traditional systems management practice of monitoring individual IT elements to mapping the interdependencies and managing the elements as a single complete service.
The NetIQ Solution
NetIQ delivers systems and security management solutions with embedded knowledge coming from years of experience and hundreds of customer deployments. NetIQ solutions enable companies with complex heterogeneous environments that include UNIX and Linux applications to successfully manage, monitor and secure a mission critical environment. NetIQ solutions focus on the ability to measure and report success metrics and service levels.
Key Features
NetIQ solutions provide the best approach to the complex realm of Linux and UNIX management and performance monitoring. Our products focus on core issues such as configuration management, monitoring performance, and threat management with the goal of achieving service management in a cross platform environment. Features include:
- Enable IT Organizations to Maximize Efficiency: NetIQ AppManager is an industry leading performance and availability solution that delivers monitoring across both UNIX and Linux operating systems and applications. AppManager monitors key performance indicators in real-time to ensure service level agreements are being met, and provides comprehensive out-of-the-box knowledge and service map views that allow administrators to effectively manage their environment. AppManager provides broad support for mission critical UNIX and Linux applications including Oracle, BEA Weblogic, Apache, IBM WebSphere MQ, and Veritas NetBackup.
- Ensure Protection from and Respond to Security Threats: NetIQ Security Management solutions enable you to monitor Unix and Linux platforms, as well as Oracle databases running on Unix, and provide deep security knowledge to help you understand and resolve security incidents. By monitoring important events from syslog, and from the Basic Security Module (BSM) on Sun Solaris computers, NetIQ solutions will detect and notify on suspicious root or service account activity, user account activity and process execution.
- Manage Risk and Configuration: NetIQ Configuration Management solutions assess Unix and Linux systems, along with Oracle and Sybase database servers, against best practice and regulatory policy templates. Through scored risk-based results delivered in easy to understand reports, you can discover if there are too many root accounts (potential abuse of power) or where there is a lack of password security. In addition, you can establish and enforce secure logins to local and remote host computers. Use built-in NetIQ security knowledge to manage IT risk, remediate exposures and protect your UNIX and Linux environment.
