Halcyon Software Publishes Free Best Practice Guide to Monitoring AIX Systems
PETERBOROUGH, England, November 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Halcyon Software, a global leader in systems management software, has published a new
Guide to Monitoring AIX Systems. Written in plain English, it provides best practice
guidelines that answer the most challenging issues faced by IT staff, enabling them to
successfully manage AIX systems and ensure the smooth running of their business
operations.
According to Carole Chandler, Sales and Marketing Director of Halcyon Software: "We
have produced this best practice guide to demystify the art of managing AIX systems. This
quick reference resource describes the most important aspects of AIX systems that need
monitoring and the reasons why this should be done. It also shows how the lives of systems
administrators can be made less stressful through the adoption of an appropriate
monitoring solution and the use of pre-configured, adaptable templates for the monitoring
and management of AIX environments."
This new guide has been written for IT staff who are more used to managing IBM i
systems and are suddenly faced with the challenge of monitoring AIX systems. It will help
them to quickly adapt to the traditional styled user interface and the unusual commands
that make little sense to people unfamiliar with the UNIX environment. This scenario
commonly results from company mergers and acquisitions when AIX systems become part of the
infrastructure requiring technical people to monitor and manage them with little prior
knowledge.
The guide provides information on the text-based commands that generate key system
performance data which is displayed on a console. It also shows how the use of advanced
monitoring and scheduling tools from companies such as Halcyon Software can automate these
processes, sending alerts to designated IT staff and providing effective escalation
procedures through a centralised Enterprise Console. This includes mobile apps that also
allow staff using smartphones or tablets to manage AIX systems and view alerts when they
are away from their desks."
