eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft executives are set on challenging Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM and others for supremacy in the enterprise management market, but their company faces a long, hard road to get there, according to users.
At the Microsoft Management Summit conference here last week, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, said the company is committed to managing heterogeneous computing environments. And he backed up that statement by demonstrating limited management functions performed on a Sun Microsystems Inc. Solaris machine using a mixture of prototypes, third-party products and MOM monitoring software.
