q-Status Windows Product Information

Introduction
q-status™ Windows reports Data center summaries of servers, patch analysis networks and disks. q-status™ Windows Server summary lists all the data servers by processor speed, memory, attached storage and active network interfaces. The disk summary report displays the total disk space used and disk space available with dynamic filtering to display only the data, root and/or temp (/var) file sets of all the server in the data center at the same time. The disk summary report easily identifies which servers have the most free space available and which servers have the most disk space used. q-Status™ Server summary lists all the data servers by procressor speed, memory, attached storage and active network interfaces. The Network Summary report identifies duplicate IP’s. The new Network Status report reports all server speed, and full or half duplex for all servers' network interface.

Standard Unix Commands
Standard DOS commands are executed within q-status™ Windows such as ipconfig and msinfo. Each Windows server provides information to the q-status™ Windows software utilizing the Windows Scheduler. q-status™ Windows utilizes Java based encrypted SSH secure protocol without requiring any security hole to be open. This eliminates firewall communication and security issues with sockets or ports. q-status™ Windows is designed to process text files and display information in a Web page using a database that is created on the fly. Because q-status™ Windows utilizes a Java transfer method, ssh comminication pairs are not required and any password requirement is totally encrypted on both the client server and the q-Status™ Windows Web server.
