RENO, Nevada—Bytware, Inc., developer of monitoring, notification, and security solutions for System i, AIX, and Linux, announced today new enhancements to its MessengerPlus and MessengerConsole solutions that make it easier than ever to automate monitoring and notification to cell phones worldwide.
These new enhancements to the company’s popular systems management solutions put the power of GSM and SMS protocols into the hands of System i administrators, allowing simple and quick wireless distribution of messages to any cell phone in the world without the need for a paging provider, phone lines, or modems. Messages are received anywhere across the globe in seconds.”This update to Messenger acknowledges the change in how our customers communicate,” says Bytware CEO Michael Grant. “Today everybody carries cell phones or Blackberries, not pagers. With this enhancement, MessengerPlus and MessengerConsole can be used as a real company-wide text messaging system. We’ve cut the strings for System i.”

In addition to enabling easier wireless messaging, the GSM/SMS enhancements also eliminate the compatibility issues that can affect international users. In many areas of the world, variations in phone service can make it difficult to successfully set up automated notification to mobile devices. By sending messages phone-to-phone using standardized text-messaging protocols, Messenger now eliminates these issues. All that is needed is a number and a phone capable of receiving a text message. The receiving device does not even need to have GSM or SMS capabilities.

MessengerPlus and MessengerConsole with enhanced GSM/SMS features are available now. Comprehensive information about Messenger and free trials are available on Bytware’s website at www.bytware.com or by calling 800.932.5557.
