Help/Systems, developer of the Robot automated operations solution for the System i, has released Robot/NETWORK 10, the latest version of its network control, monitoring and management software.

Robot/NETWORK 10 offers a new graphical interface, Robot/NETWORK Explorer, which displays current network configuration as an expandable tree of hosts, nodes, products, packets, reports, and other system items, with menus and toolbars for access to network control options. New wizards help users connect to hosts, configure nodes, and apply product updates and licence codes. From the Explorer, users can distribute and manage both updates and licence codes for all of the Help/Systems products on their systems.

A new Robot/NETWORK Map Center allows users to customise their own graphical view (map) of the entire network, or any portion of it, to display both status traffic and network communication between hosts and nodes.

Users can display the Robot/NETWORK Status Center from either the Explorer or the Map Center to display and respond to host and node statuses quickly. Users also can escalate status issues by sending a pager, text, or email message using Robot/ALERT, issuing an SNMP trap or calling a user-defined program.
