Announcing Power Tool Framework™

Weston Software, Inc.™ is pleased to announce that it has achieved patent-pending status for its Power Tool Framework™ technology.

Power Tool Framework is the foundation behind the Power Tool product suite for managing non-Microsoft® systems from a Microsoft desktop that is available now from Weston Software, Inc. and its partners.

Power Tool Framework, runs on a Microsoft Windows™ desktop allowing administrators to manage non-Microsoft systems that reside in the emerging Computing Cloud, Virtualized environments (VMWare, Xen Source and Hyper-V), or in the Data Center. We are the first interoperable solution that leverages the power of Microsoft Windows to manage non-Microsoft systems using native UNIX/Linux protocols from a Microsoft desktop. Our solutions require absolutely no changes to your existing UNIX/Linux computing environment.

Power Tool Framework sets the standard in Interoperability by supporting more non-Microsoft operating systems then any vendor in the industry. If your non-Microsoft based computer supports the SSH protocol then Power Tool Framework will manage that machine using the same familiar interface that Microsoft Windows administrators have been using since the release of Microsoft Windows 2000. Power Tool Framework has been extensively tested with operating systems from all of the leading UNIX and Linux vendors, including (but not limited to) IBM® (AIX), Sun Microsystems® (Solaris), Hewlett Packard® (HP U/X and VAX), Linux (Novell, Redhat, Ubuntu) and Apple.
