Bethesda, MD - With the addition of two new names to the ever-growing list of adapters available with netTerrain's Integration Toolkit, Graphical Networks is banking on the power of automation to leverage existing data sources for IT documentation.

Since the inception of netTerrain, the ability to bring in asset information from external databases has been a staple of Graphical Networks' software implementation strategy. With predefined connections to leading Network and Asset Management Systems that can collect and synchronize device attributes directly into netTerrain, customers can drastically reduce implementation timeframes, automate the documentation process and ensure that the network inventory repository with all associated views is reconciled with the original sources.

The new adapters include:

• Red Hat Linux (RHN)
• Microsoft SCOM

Red Hat Network Satellite is a systems management platform for Linux infrastructure deployments. Built on open standards, RHN Satellite provides powerful systems administration capabilities such as management, provisioning and monitoring for large deployments. With the RHN adapter, netTerrain can automatically discover servers and other network devices extracted from RHN in text format and import them (along with the attributes) into netTerrain and keep the data in synch.

Microsoft SCOM (Operations Manager) provides visibility into the health, performance and availability of the datacenter environments – across applications, operating systems, hypervisors and hardware. Operations Manager offers monitoring for Windows based environments while providing support for heterogeneous environments (e.g. various distributions of Linux/Unix and Sun Solaris). As with the RHN adapter, netTerrain can automatically discover network devices extracted from SCOM (through a SQL Server connector) and import them into netTerrain.

In all cases, these adapters will be ready to Insert, Update or delete device data using configurable fields for unique name (Asset tags, DNS names, IP addresses, physical addresses, etc).  If you are interested in a software demonstration, please request a demo here.
