This year we strengthened our position by acquiring the networking business unit of a company called Symantec. This provided HP OpenView with new capabilities 1 for software distribution, inventory 2, configuration 3, trouble-shooting, licensing 4 for desktop 5 systems as well as real-time server management for Windows NT. This allows us to offer a single-vendor management solution that combines hardware, software management and services. A third investment last year was aimed at helping 6 customers manage NT-based systems.
今年，我们通过收购一家名为Symantec公司的网络部门，进而加强了我们的地位。这为惠普OpenView提供了新的功能，如软件分配、库存、配置、查找故障、注册桌面系统，以及Windows NT的实时服务器管理。这可使我们提供单一厂商管理解决方案，将硬件管理、软件管理和服务结合起来。去年第三笔投资是帮助客户管理基于NT的系统。
We evaluated a variety of different approaches to this challenge. A small company called NewView had the best product available, something called ManageX, and we acquired that company late last year. We think ManageX is the best for a couple of reasons. First, it's very scalable — able to handle everything from the workgroup to a full enterprise. We think that's very important, because we see many customers starting out by deploying 7 NT in a workgroup area, and then more broadly across their enterprise. So it's critical to have a tool that can grow. Second, ManageX is based on all of Microsoft's technologies. That's really critical if you want to have a leading product in the NT environment. Most of OpenView's competitors today are trying to take software that was developed for managing mainframes or Unix and then retrofitting it to NT. And that's no trivial task.
我们评估了解决这一问题的各类方式。当时，有一家叫NewView的小公司拥有名为ManageX的最佳产品，去年下半年我们收购了该公司。我们认为ManageX极具优势的原因如下：第一，它具有极强的可扩展性——可处理从工作组到整个企业的任何事项。我们认为这一点非常重要，因为我们看到许多客户初期在工作组用的是NT，然后逐渐在企业内扩大。所以，最关键的是真有可发展的工具。第二， ManageX是基于微软的技术。 如果你想在NT环境拥有领先的产品，这一点甚为重要。目前，OpenView的大多数竞争者均力图获取可用于管理主机或UNIX的软件然后将其改型，以便更加适应NT。而这项工作极为繁杂。
