NOVELL MANAGEWISE 2.1
EVOLVING MANAGEMENT FOR EVOLVING SYSTEMS

  In its beginnings, American government was able to
  effectively manage a small homogeneous nation of
  British descent. But this situation changed
  radically as non-English immigrants flooded the
  United States, turning the nation into a diverse
  "melting pot" of constituents. Management effective
  with a small similar group of citizens suddenly found
  it necessary to evolve, to accommodate a rapidly
  growing population of varied race and culture.
  
  Just as government developed new methods to manage
  a diverse and expanding country, it must now develop
  new methods to manage its networks. Before the onslaught
  of intranets and the Internet, systems were considered
  individual entities, built for a limited number of
  users and with very particular needs. Varied criteria
  spawned varied networks. But now, with agencies and
  departments across the nation consolidating and networking
  their disparate systems, running numerous management tools
  is confusing and inefficient. To maximize the benefits
  of a single connected network, a single management tool
  is needed -- one that can centrally supervise a whole
  network in the present, as well as an evolved network
  in the future.
  
  Novell ManageWise is today's only comprehensive and
  integrated management solution that lets you successfully
  manage and optimize your heterogeneous network. It reduces
  the cost of owning and managing a network and enhances
  business operations by increasing network reliability
  and user productivity.
  
  Using one management tool instead of many significantly
  reduces the cost and time needed to purchase software
  and train staff. In addition, there's no sense in joining
  networks if they aren't going to be treated as a single
  unit. A centralized management tool such as ManageWise
  also allows administrators to see the "big picture"
  of their entire network, rather than continuing to
  treat smaller systems separately.
  
  ManageWise implements security via standard NDS
  methodology. It authorizes select personnel to view
  levels of security alarms appropriate to their location
  and position. It also monitors networks for viruses,
  notifying you upon detection and quarantining the
  virus until it can be eliminated.
  
  Need to tinker with a desktop? ManageWise allows remote
  control of Windows 95, Windows 3.1 & 3.11, OS/2 Warp,
  and DOS desktops for such functions as configuration
  change management, user administration, and desktop access.
  
  ManageWise builds on NetWare expertise to provide
  comprehensive server management. It automatically
  detects thousands of problems on both NetWare and NT
  servers and monitors over 400 events, notifying you
  when tolerance levels have been exceeded. To implement
  proactive management, conditions can signal potential
  rather than actual problems, enabling you to correct
  situations before your system slows down or goes down.
  
  ManageWise continuously monitors network activity
  and trend performance, so that you can plan wisely
  for future network modification or growth. You
  can observe network traffic trends on Ethernet
  and token-ring networks, to optimize network
  traffic paths. 
  
  ManageWise can track the hardware and software installed
  on each workstation, providing the data that the
  Netware Application Launcher (NAL) needs in order to
  install network applications and standardize desktop
  software configurations. It also automatically
  inventories networking devices such as NetWare servers,
  hubs, routers and desktops.
  
  ManageWise clients include Novell DOS 7, MS-DOS 3.3
  or later, Mac OS System 7, Windows 3.1, Windows 95,
  Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and OS/2 Warp & 2.x.
  It is supported on servers such as Server requirements:
  NetWare 3.11, 3.12, & 4.1, NetWare SFT III, NetWare
  SMP, and NetWare/IP.
  
  An add-on product -- ManageWise Agent for Windows NT Server
  -- integrates with ManageWise so that you can manage
  your mixed NetWare and NT server environments from
  the same interface.
  
  The tools that worked yesterday with disconnected
  systems won't necessarily work today in the arena
  of global networking. An evolving system demands
  an evolving systems management tool. ManageWise
  enables government agencies to take advantage of
  consolidated systems rather than treating them like
  the separate, limited networks of yesterday.
