The company has concurrently announced the release of the ELM 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK) ¡ª the development kit for environments running version 3.1 of ELM Enterprise Manager, ELM Log Manager and ELM Performance Manager. Today¡¯s announcements come as the company, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, showcases its products and solutions at Microsoft¡¯s annual Tech¡ñEd conference. The company's flagship ELM product suite is designed to automate critical administrative functions by monitoring and collecting data in real time, notifying administrators of problems and potential problems, taking corrective action, and providing tools for reporting activity, health and performance. The ELM 3.1 SDK is designed for administrators and developers who want to further automate their critical tasks using a variety of ELM functions. In addition, it can also be used to integrate ELM 3.1 components into custom applications or to integrate custom applications into ELM 3.1. The newly released ELM 3.1 SDK includes documentation on the ELM 3.1 object model; ELM 3.1 interfaces, methods and properties and sample applications. All ELM 3.1 products have been independently tested and verified by VeriTest, the only authorized worldwide lab to test enterprise applications for Microsoft Corp.'s ¡°Certified for Windows¡± program. ¡°We¡¯re pleased that TNT Software has consistently seen the value of certifying the high quality and reliability of its tools for the Windows Server environment,¡± said Bob Ellsworth, director of the Windows Server Product Management Group at Microsoft. ¡°This is once again demonstrated through today¡¯s certification announcement ¡ª ELM version 3.1 has proven its outstanding capabilities by withstanding Microsoft¡¯s stringent third-party certification and testing procedures.¡± The new ELM 3.1 certification applies to Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition. IT administrators around the globe are challenged to build secure and manageable infrastructures, while reducing downtime and operational costs. The ELM suite of products assists administrators in achieving these goals by providing them with an easy-to-use, robust, secure management application that can be customized and tailored to meet their needs. VeriTest¡¯s rigorous certification testing process includes a 48-hour stress test on the Unisys ES7000 32-way server, proper use of high-memory, multinode high-availability scale-out scenarios, and validation of 24x7 datacenter-level support. The certification tests independently verify that ELM 3.1 has features that make applications more robust, manageable and well supported. Achieving certification for Windows is a milestone for TNT Software. ELM 3.1¡¯s predecessor, version 3.0, had achieved the Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server logos, but Windows Datacenter certification is new for ELM 3.1. According to Steve Taylor, president of TNT Software, ¡°Achieving Windows Server 2003 Datacenter certification reinforces our commitment to enterprise customers that need the most robust and reliable solution available.¡± TNT Software consistently works closely with Microsoft to maximize compatibility of its products and solutions on the Windows family of products.
