Integrations
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
GroundWork Open Source, Inc. (www.gwos.com), the leader in commercial open
source systems and network management software, today announced the beta
availability of GroundWork Monitor 6.0. The latest version of GroundWork`s
product combines a thoroughly revamped look-and-feel with a new JBoss Portal
based development platform.

The new GroundWork Monitor 6.0 user interface, based on JBoss Portal, is highly
extensible and offers robust API support and documentation as well as secured
SOAP APIs for accessing monitoring data. The portal-based interface enables new
customization and user-permission options, including page-level, feature-level,
and configuration-level control.

"GroundWork Monitor 6.0 brings huge benefits in the areas of extensibility,
customization, and open standards support," said Roger Ruttiman, Director of
Engineering of GroundWork Open Source. "And the solid reputation of JBoss Portal
is a great comfort to GroundWork`s enterprise customers."

To assist with development on the new JBoss-based platform, GroundWork will also
be releasing a software development kit (SDK) for GroundWork Monitor 6.0. Beta
participants will receive early access to the SDK.
