2 Sysgem Enterprise Manager Sysgem Enterprise Manager (SEM) The Sysgem Enterprise Manager (SEM) provides companies of all sizes with a simple, powerful tool for managing IT, auditing security, administering user accounts and monitoring systems throughout the entire enterprise. SEM has a base framework that extends network-wide to all major platforms, and supports a set of management phases to monitor, audit, report and manage resources on those platforms. A set of modular applications can also be bought and installed separately to provide you with integrated system management, user account management and security management. And because SEM's architecture is so open, you can see all its functionality and easily customize it to meet your specific needs.

They are easy to use, they support layered applications (such as MS Exchange, ORACLE, PATHWORKS, PMDF, Lotus Notes, SAP etc.) and include: The Sysgem System Manager, which provides you with a multiplicity of options for managing your systems. The Sysgem Account Manager, which enables multi-platform end-user administration. Perl Shell DCL etc. Remote Managed WIN NT UNIX Open VMS MVS AS 400, etc. The Sysgem Security Manager, which offers the ultimate in security monitoring, auditing and management. The Sysgem Development Manager, which makes it easy for you to adapt or complement the pre-packaged application solutions yourself. (Alternatively, Sysgem Development Services can do it for you.) The SEM Base Framework SEM operates network-wide using a client/server architecture and supports a multi-platform environment (Windows NT, UNIX/Linux, OpenVMS, NetWare, MVS, OS 400, etc.). It: Is completely customizable and requires very little effort or expertise to tailor. It supports Perl and O/S command language scripts such as OpenVMS DCL and UNIX Shell and comes with a set of sample scripts. Provides an automated 'Telnet' facility, giving fully audited, single sign-on functionality that is authenticated with strict access control. Has the ability to display monitored output with a web browser interface. Supports a central data repository.

3 Key Features and Benefits SEM provides big benefits for low costs. It offers powerful functionality together with the versatility to adapt and enhance this functionality to create solutions that exactly meet your needs. On top of this, SEM is simple: Simple to install, to use, to maintain and to customize, which means you get maximum value for minimal cost of ownership. Powerful Functionality SEM provides centralized access to multiple platforms across your whole enterprise and enables you to: Continually monitor your networks, servers, host machines and file systems, so you can better manage and control resource usage and capacities. Protect your data and systems access by monitoring and enforcing your corporate security policies. This also simplifies your risk analysis task. Set thresholds for tolerance levels, so that alarms are raised when these thresholds are exceeded and automatic corrective action is taken. Delegate responsibilities with confidence and safety, by configuring the scope and degree of access granted to specific SEM users. Establish a full audit trail, by logging every action of all registered SEM users. Fix problems the instant they occur, through its single sign-on Telnet functionality for system managers and other end-users. Create customizable reports, in HTML or text format, so you can see what has changed between different time intervals and take corrective and direct action when required. Versatility SEM is based on a 100% open architecture. Its standard functionality is easily extended or modified to meet your particular needs. SEM also makes it easy and fast for you to develop your own special applications. SEM's functionality can be integrated with other vendors' enterprise management solutions to extend those solutions to meet all your enterprise monitoring and management needs. Simplicity Installing SEM takes only a couple of minutes per host system. And as scripts held at the central management station control all functionality, any modifications or enhancements you make require only a single, central upgrade. SEM is simple to use and to customize. It provides the functions people want most in the simplest, most straightforward way. And because it is so simple, it doesn't require a huge corporate commitment or departmental 'buy in' to introduce SEM to your company - it can provide an effective point solution to any task, no matter how big or small.

4 The Plug-in Application s of Sysgem Enterprise Manager Sysgem System Manager This module enables you to manage systems across multiple platforms and to administer layered applications. It makes it easy for you to: Monitor your system & network performance Monitor disk capacity and I/O rates Analyze your event & audit logs Move users between platforms Manage processes & services Manage queues Produce reports Manage your assets It also provides: Commands / scripts on multiple target systems allowing problems to be fixed and systems to be tuned. A web-browser interface for reporting Secure audit trails Monitor multiple resources on multiple platforms. Raise alarms when threshold values are exceeded or automatically run scripts to correct or avert a problem situation. Sysgem Account Manager Select all the accounts belonging to the same user on multiple platforms. Modify the selected accounts, e.g. change the passwords in a single operation. This full-featured application makes user account management on multiple platforms and in layered applications both easy and efficient. It enables you to: Create accounts on NT / OpenVMS / UNIX / MVS / AS400 and in applications such as MS Exchange - all in one operation Define 'templates' and 'roles' Link your accounts to your personnel database Manage groups, identifiers, and quotas Select, sort and filter using multiple criteria Manage intrusions Leave a full audit trail & ensure accountability Delegate responsibility using definable access control profiles Set up Help Desk / Administrator / Supervisor modes Customize the standard procedures to meet your own needs Produce statistical and security reports on user accounts

5 Sysgem Security Manager This module provides multi-platform and layered application security management, enabling you to: Monitor security sensitive settings Define comparison tables for security sensitive fields Customize thresholds, filters and alarms Protect your files Monitor user privilege and quota levels Identify dormant accounts Audit changes to your system using predefined security policies Monitor processes Raise alarms and escalate those that remain unanswered Leave a full audit trail & ensure accountability It also alerts you when your system experiences intruders or if unauthorized access is attempted. Set the threshold criteria and define the consequential alarm or corrective action when critical security sensitive settings are changed on target systems. Sysgem Development Manager Defining the GUI and incorporating an action script could not be simpler. Use any of the many examples to implement your own applications with the SEM API. This module provides a multi-platform client / server infrastructure that enables you to easily adapt and develop our prepackaged modules to meet your specific needs. It provides you with: Instant GUIs Multi-platform scripts (Perl / DCL / Shell) Security control Access control Audit log ODBC routines for database access Common libraries Challenge / response authentication of software components A web-browser interface for reporting
