Cabletron Systems announced a new
Web-based console for its Spectrum suite of enterprise management software
created by third-party developer Metrix SARL. The new Metrix Web
Console is fully integrated with Spectrum, according to the company,
allowing an administrator to perform a wide range of tasks-such as
policy-based software distribution and system configuration-using a
browser. The new console is available now through Cabletron's direct sales
force and resellers for an initial price of $7,200, available through
January of next year.
