April 26, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Infrastructure software provider Opalis Software (opalis.com) announced on Tuesday that it plans to integrate the Microsoft PowerShell platform - previously called Microsoft Windows Monad - throughout the data center.
Opalis says it will extend the automation capabilities of PowerShell to both Microsoft and non-Microsoft products including system monitor, help desk, virtualization, and backup applications. Administrators can perform live interaction with these systems from the command line on any platform or through long-running automation policies via Opalis Integration Server.
The company has already implemented several PowerShell extensions including the Opalis PowerShell SnapIn for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 and the Opalis PowerShell SnapIn for BMC Remedy Help Desk - both of which Opalis will demonstrate this week at the Microsoft Management Summit in San Diego. Administrators can now interact directly with Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 and BMC Remedy Help Desk, enabling connectivity between MOM and the PowerShell platform, without any programming.
"Opalis is pleased to provide the glue that connects Microsoft PowerShell to all the pieces of the data center," says Scott Broder, CEO of Opalis. "With PowerShell SnapIn for MOM 2005 and BMC Remedy Help Desk, UNIX administrators who often shy away from GUIs to perform tasks can now interact directly with MOM and BMC Remedy Help Desk, while never leaving the command line. Opalis takes care of the rest."
