BMC Patrol now monitors Unix, Linux

MC Kincora wrote in to tell us about a story posted at searchWin2000: “BMC’s Patrol line has been extended to Unix and Linux servers. “Our customers are looking at Linux as a part of their mission critical applications,” said Carl Coken, BMC’s vice president and general manager of Patrol platform solutions. “They’re putting a Linux box in at the Web application side or as the Web server. From the customer’s perspective, it is one large application regardless if there are four different machines running it. They need to be able to manage that with the same policies that they’ve been managing everything else.””
