Aprisma, now successfully on the other side of its spin-out, has begun to make money for parent company Gores Technology Group. In a testament to the faith Gores has in Aprisma, Spectrum will be upgraded in the new year. In addition to the redesigned OneClick Java interface, Aprisma has added customers and profit throughout 2003.
HP, also fresh from a public, gut-wrenching organizational overhaul, plans to roll out a new version of its Network Node Manager at the start of 2004. Version 7.0 promises a more stable Java interface as well as improvements to server-side Layer 2 topologies and fault correlation.
If you're one of the many who shudder at the thought of relying on slow and poorly functioning Java applications, worry less. They are improving, especially when delivered as an application rather than an applet.
Just as significant as the features and functionality that both Aprisma and HP are bringing to their new versions is the signal that reliable, longtime management vendors are finding the revenue to continue their product improvements.
