What they saw was that the Web Based Enterprise Management protocol will mean system administrators will only have to maintain one set of agents on their target machines. As for the upcoming Solaris 8 update, it will give system administrators better hooks into the operating system to leverage their efforts better, they said. http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/qna/0,289202,sid12_gci558496,00.html *Tech giants promote use of WBEM standards A number of open source projects and a group of nine companies including Sun Microsystems, HP and IBM have formed an alliance to promote the use of a set of open system management standards known as Web-Based Enterprise Management. The alliance was announced at the JavaOne show. http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid12_gci558535,00.html *Java: Our cup runneth over San Francisco's Golden Gate has become more like a floodgate, with Java developers by the thousands spilling into town for JavaOne.
