Linmor joins Micromuse Developers Alliance Linmor Inc LIR Shares issued 43,026,065 Sep 18 close $1.47 Tue 19 Sept 2000 News Release Ms. Gail Oliver reports Linmor Technologies has joined the Micromuse Developers Alliance of Micromuse Inc. (Nasdaq: MUSE), the leading provider of fault and service-level management software. As a Micromuse Netcool Ready partner, Linmor will license the Netcool Software Development Kit to develop a network interface with Netcool applications and create a Netcool Ready solution for Linmor's Nebula Performance Monitor (PM). The Micromuse Developers Alliance is a program for leading independent technology providers seeking to develop and offer integrated, off-the-shelf, multivendor, open OSS management solutions to service providers and corporate customers. "Maintaining fast, reliable delivery of mission critical information is the key to success in the carrier industry. Integrating the Netcool fault management applications with Linmor's Nebula PM will enable network service providers to offer premiere-quality data services to their customers," said John Farrell, president, chairman and chief executive officer of Linmor. "The combination of Micromuse's Netcool suite with Nebula PM and our commitment to the Micromuse Developers Alliance program, will provide our customers with a complete network performance management solution." The integration of Nebula PM with Netcool will enable data collected by Nebula PM to be displayed in the Netcool EventList console. This will allow network operations administrators to provide enhanced solutions for efficient network fault analysis and network resource availability to help predict and prevent network slowdowns and interruptions in network-based customer services. The applications provided by Nebula PM and the Netcool suite provide service providers with the tools they need to deliver enhanced service assurance and full network integrity to their customers. "We are delighted that Linmor has joined the Micromuse Developers Alliance," said Tim Tokarsky, Micromuse's senior vice-president, business development. "The goal of the program is to provide off-the-shelf, integrated solutions for our mutual customers. Integrating Netcool software and Nebula Performance Monitor means that network service providers will have a completely integrated fault and performance management system for their complex network infrastructure, allowing them to provide an even higher level of quality of service to their customers." The Micromuse Developers Alliance provides Micromuse and its alliance partners with the resources to co-operatively pursue business, technical and marketing opportunities. Already a significant number of vendors have expressed interest in Micromuse's Developers Alliance to develop and provide off-the-shelf, integrated solutions for mutual customers. Toward that end, Micromuse actively enlists best-in-class solutions providers offering complementary applications. Micromuse furnishes its approved Netcool Ready Partners with the Netcool Software Developers Kit (SDK). Provided in CD-ROM format, the Netcool SDK provides all the tools necessary to develop Netcool probes, gateways and data source adapters. Micromuse's Netcool software suite collects management data from more than 200 management environments and network devices, including voice, data and Internet. Fault data is rapidly processed and filtered by the Netcool ObjectServer, an in-memory database. The Netcool application allows operators to build views of service availability in real time, helping them manage networks more efficiently. Because it is scalable and deploys rapidly, the Netcool business model allows service providers to expand their networks as their markets grow. Linmor's Nebula Performance Monitor provides essential capabilities to manage the Internet infrastructure, in particular Internet core and access networks such as IP, ATM, Frame Relay and DSL. Through both real-time and historical performance reporting, Nebula PM assists network administrators with the day-to-day management of Internet and data networks, as well as capacity planning for future growth. Linmor and Micromuse will showcase their integrated network performance and fault management solution at the DSLCon Fall 2000 exposition and conference in Boston, Mass., Sept. 19 to 21.
