SMA Updates Data Center Tool
May 9, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center automation provider SMA (smausa.com) announced on Monday that it has released a major new version of its cross-platform automation software for data centers, OpCon/xps 3.31, which supports nearly every platform available in commercial production.
OpCon/xps 3.31 includes a redesigned event-driven notification system that “exponentially enhances event-driven automation,” says Anna Murray, technical product liaison for SMA. “OpCon/xps can now process events for entire groups of jobs, schedules, or machines when certain events happen. Event-driven processing is expanded beyond individual jobs, schedules and external sources.”
Another major enhancement to SMA OpCon/xps is the inclusion of support for a new type of file transfer. The feature enables users to assign an agent on a designated machine that requests files to be transferred from a machine running on a different platform. Users can limit bandwidth usage, confirm complete delivery and maintain tight security.
SMA also included an ASP.NET rewrite of WebOpCon, circumventing the limitations of Visual Basic and maximizing opportunities of the Web without compromising security, stability or performance. The rest of the enhancements involve the monitoring agents residing on client machines.
