NEWS BRIEFS

Rockville, MD. — T3 Software Builders, Inc. announced the release of its newest software product – SiteMaestro – which system administrators are hailing as “the first tool developed by system administrators for system administrators.”

“SiteMaestro was developed by T3 engineers in response to customer requests for an easy-to-use, reliable and cost-effective way to monitor their computer systems and networks using a web browser,” said Lawrence H. Hinden, president of T3 Software Builders. “The feedback from customers has been extremely positive.”

“The feature of SiteMaestro that system administrators appreciate most,” said Rick Bentley, T3’s Chief Technology Officer, “is the alarming. SiteMaestro is designed to notify an administrator of any system problem by e- mail or a wireless messaging device such as a PDA, pager or cell phone — giving the administrator time to try to fix the problem before any damage is done or time is lost.”

“Compared to other available monitoring tools,” Bentley noted, “SiteMaestro is very fast, stable and efficient — unlike most of the shareware that’s out there. It’s also less cumbersome and less expensive than those supposedly high-end tools whose elaborate features are never even used.”

Said Chief Software Architect, Scott Ortel, “The challenge was to provide administrators with easy access to their systems through any web browser, without the need to change their existing corporate network infrastructure.”

The Systems Operations Manager of a Fortune 10 Communications Company, one of the first SiteMaestro customers, explained the great utility of the SiteMaestro tool this way: “With ease of configuration and web-based access, SiteMaestro has allowed me to provide 24×7 production support for over 300 Sun and NT systems with a team of only nine employees. The simple integration of existing homegrown software has allowed me to quickly integrate SiteMaestro into our production environment. SiteMaestro has allowed me to minimize personnel costs while enhancing my ability to provide out-of-hours support from anywhere in the world … ”

SiteMaestro Professional agents are available for Sun Solaris, Windows NT/2000 and Linux. Soon to be available is SiteMaestro Enterprise, which will provide a central repository of telemetry agent data for trend analysis and centralized management capabilities.
