> Managing UNIX systems with InSPEC
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> 
>     InSPEC Software is a set of tools that enables the proactive
>     management of UNIX systems.  By auditing and monitoring each
>     system continuously, InSPEC is able to produce detailed
>     diagnostic analysis on Security, Capacity, Configuration,
>     Performance and Applications.  InSPEC saves administrators
>     valuable time by identifying urgent conditions and providing
>     real-time alerts.
> 
>     InSPEC works in any UNIX environment, large or small,
>     well-connected or remote.  Some features include:
> 
>         - frequent security audits
>         - frequent resource audits
>         - ability to add site specific or product specific
>             monitoring tools - Oracle monitoring is currently
>             provided
>         - despite being highly configurable, it is useful
>             immediately - the default "out of the box"
>             configuration provides significant value
> 
>     It provides for logical separation of various functions:
> 
>         - detection and collection of data
>         - analysis of collected data
>         - viewing reports of important information (using a
>             choice of tools as appropriate for the needs of the
>             particular viewer (pager, email, news, X/Motif
>             browser, Netscape/web browser)
> 
>     These functions can be connected as needed to suit a wide
>     variety of needs:
> 
>         - a single machine or small site admin
>         - an MIS depertment managing machines for the entire
>             company
>         - a facilities management service provider managing
>             machines for many customers
>         - a database administrator (unconcerned about other
>             details of system administration)
> 
>     InSPEC is available as a software product or as a remote
>     monitoring service.
