Along with standard Windows platforms, most medium-to-large organizations have heterogeneous IT environments, leveraging Unix, Linux, or other systems to address specific business needs. Maintaining and supporting these systems can be difficult and costly as IT administrators must manage administrative and support tasks using platform specific solutions which often are disparate from the other systems being managed.
SMS 2003 is an ideal solution for change and configuration management of Windows-based systems, but what about non-Windows systems? Thanks to Quest Management Xtensions for SMS, enterprise organizations with heterogeneous environments can now extend the management capabilities of SMS 2003 to non-Windows systems such as Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X.
