To provide low-cost, highly functional, innovative solutions within an OSN-enabled environment that address a growing number of business challenges , 3Com offers open source 'bundles' of pre-tested and supported applications for use with the 3Com® OSN Module (OSN|M).
The Service Monitoring Bundle gives IT managers increased network visibility that lets them proactively identify potential network problems and more effectively predict network behavior, reducing operating expense by automating problem resolution using a variety of open source solutions.
Additionally, the Service Monitoring Bundle can enhance compliance with industry and IT regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI).
The bundle enhances protection through an implementation of network-wide security strategies that speedily detect worms or other threats.
Four individual solutions in the bundle can be easily installed on an OSN Module using a standard web browser:
The Service Monitoring Bundle includes an easy-to-use web-based administration interface, Webmin, that eases installation and administration of its open source applications on 3Com OSN-enabled hardware.
