Dorian Software Smashes the EVT to EVTX Log Format Barrier
Upcoming Release Completes EVTX Capability Across Flagship Tools
For immediate release
8/13/2008 - Atlanta GA
August 13, 2008, Atlanta, GA – Dorian Software Creations, Inc. (http://www.doriansoftware.com) today announced completion of EVTX integration across its flagship log management tools: Event Archiver ®, Event Analyst ®, and Event Alarm ®.
In a matter of days, the release of Event Alarm 6 will complete a year-long, systematic improvement of its core log management technologies to seamlessly manage both EVT and EVTX logs side-by-side. The improvements are largely as a result of infusion of the company’s exclusive LogRefiner ™ technology into all three major titles of its patented Total Event Log Management Solution ™.
The benefits for its existing customer base and for Windows network administrators worldwide are enormous. Event Alarm, like its sister titles Event Archiver and Event Analyst, only needs to be installed on a single computer running Windows Vista ® or Windows Server ® 2008. Once installed, Event Alarm can remotely monitor the newer EVTX format logs found on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems directly alongside the older EVT format logs found on legacy operating systems like Windows Server 2003.
On top of that, no agents are required to crush the EVT to EVTX log format barrier - all monitoring can still be done remotely, without the use of agents.
In addition, such monitoring can be done using a minimum of network services and firewall exceptions. Use of WMI (Windows ® Management Instrumentation) is not required. What does this mean for end users? There isn’t much guesswork required to see if the solution will work in a specific environment: If you can view the log files remotely with the Windows event viewer, you can take advantage of the automated log monitoring and notification capabilities provided by Event Alarm.
In sum, Dorian Software has now effectively solved one of the biggest problems facing organizations tasked with migrating to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista - ensuring seamless event log management across the EVT / EVTX divide with a minimum of system resources. For compliance and security-focused organizations, this comprehensive solution could not have come at a better time.
Basically, Dorian can now do it all - the log collection, analysis, reporting, and real-time monitoring with full EVTX compatibility and full backwards compatibility for legacy operating systems. This singular solution can be placed on one Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista box, and everything can be managed from that one point.
Furthermore, the modular architecture of the company’s technology remains intact. This is a key differentiating factor for Dorian Software’s technology, and a major selling point in its SMB appeal.
