3.0 out of 5 stars
a decent introduction..., July 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Enterprise Application Management with PATROL (Textbook Binding)
I thought this book was a decent introduction to the subject of Enterprise Management. However, since I work in that area, I was disappointed that there was not more in-depth coverage. I've met the author and I have to say he seems a competant individual. Unfortunately, there are NO other books on the topic with which to compare this work. The closest thing is "Common Information Model: Implementing the Object Model for Enterprise Management" by Bumpus et al. Unfortunately, Spuler's book misses the mark on covering this newer area of Enterprise Management that includes WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management) and the DMTF (Desktop Management Task Force). That aside, it is still a useful book for the sys admin or the enterprise planner who wants to be able to monitor life signs of important applications. It's rumored that ....the same monitoring applications described in the book.
