Lexmark`s Tivoli integration software passed rigorous testing to reach this certification status. The testing was designed to assure that Lexmark offers appropriate "event level" integration with Tivoli Management Software. Tivoli awards event level certification to product applications which effectively exploit the features and benefits of the Tivoli Enterprise Console. Lexmark software is specifically certified for Tivoli`s TME 10 Enterprise Console network management software.
"Lexmark is pleased to work with Tivoli to provide a seamless printer management solution for our customers who use Tivoli`s TME 10 Enterprise Console," said Richard Fearon, sales and marketing director at Venture Computer. "Lexmark is committed to make printing and printer management easy with industry-leading connectivity, innovative printer software solutions and integration into popular network management products."
For network administrators, this certification means that MarkVision leverages the strengths of the Tivoli Event Console. Tivoli`s Event Console interface provides a system wide view of network status for administrators.
Lexmark printer alerts integrate with Tivoli`s interface to give administrators a single view of all printers on the network, making printer management easy.
Integration of MarkVision into popular network management platforms provides network administrators an easy, intuitive way to manage printers. Utilising a familiar interface allows administrators quickly obtain status information, configure and control their Lexmark network printers. Opportunities to prevent and solve problems can be identified early when printers are included in the diverse mix of network components and services viewed through the management interface.
Lexmark`s MarkVision printer management software offers the broadest network and workstation support in the industry. Lexmark supports more operating systems and more release versions of those operating systems than its leading competitor. MarkVision has advanced printer management features for some environments that can`t be found in major competitive offerings, such as job statistics, inventory management, font and forms management and real-time remote operator panel.
Originally released in 1994, MarkVision was the first network printer management software with an intuitive graphical user interface, and continues to be the only management tool that minimises network traffic by not continually polling the printers for status updates. In 1997, MarkVision for the Intranet was the first browser-based management tool to incorporate the use of Java technology for real time status updates. MarkVision supports all major network operating systems and environments, including UNIX and Windows NT Intranet Web Servers, Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 3.1, various popular UNIX operating systems, including Sun Solaris, IBM OS/2 Warp Server, Apple Mac OS, Novell Netware, Microsoft LAN Manager and TCP/IP.
