TRANSFER OF LAN NETVIEW DEVELOPMENT MISSION
November 16, 1993
o Management is a critical factor in our customers' abil-
ity to rollout client server solutions. IBM is provid-
ing, based on the SystemView* framework, the management
environment for our customers' to succeed. The NetView*
family, which includes NetView/390*, NetView/6000*,
NetView/6000 on Digital Equipment Corporation's OSF/1**
and our recently available LAN NetView* on Operating
System/2* (OS/2), is the linchpin to make this success-
ful. And, we will be expanding the family to other
platforms.
o We are very excited about the availability of our newest
member, LAN NetView; providing a management platform on
OS/2 with an integrated set of applications from IBM and
vendors.
o In order to enhance synergy between the complementary
IBM NetView family members, we are consolidating all
NetView product development into one location by moving
the development for the LAN NetView family of products
from Austin to Raleigh.
o This move facilitates the sharing of technology, allow-
ing movement to a converged platform that will benefit
from the strengths of both NetView/6000 and LAN NetView.
The result will be a superior set of management applica-
tions with greater interoperability and reach, solving
our customer's problems. Customers and Independent
Software Vendors (ISVs) will be protected in the mi-
gration to the converged platform.
o Customers want to be able to choose from centralized
management, decentralized management, or a combination
of both. With our family of NetView products that in-
clude support for many different types of clients, serv-
ers, and network devices, we are giving customers the
most flexible solutions available in the industry. And,
customers will benefit from this consolidation by seeing
better interoperability among IBM system management
platforms and a broader range of applications available
to solve our customer's management problems.
o ISVs will benefit by having a common code base and APIs
for them to work from on several operating system envi-
ronments. Thus, a single investment in a NetView appli-
cation has tremendous leverage to be used by customers
on their choice of operating environments.
