OpenVision Inc, the well-funded Pleasanton, California start-up, was quietly demonstrating its much-touted inaugural product, the OpenV*OPSS systems management system at Unix Expo last week. Designed to provide the industry’s first integrated suite of management software targeted specifically at heterogeneous distributed environments, OpenV*OPSS is on track for its world debut in December. The initial release will support SunOS, HP-UX and AIX as management systems and will offer the ability to manage systems, including Santa Cruz Operation Inc, VMS, Ultrix, Pyramid, UnixWare Technology Corp, MPE, Sequent Computer Systems Inc and Solaris. OpenVision has also recognised the importance of databases within the distributed enterprise and will provide integrated support for Oracle, Sybase and Informix, which should give it a leg up over some of its competitors. We hear that system vendors are lining up for implementations of the product.
