Solaris now brings to three the number of operating environments that Trapper oversees; SunOS and SCO UNIX being the other two. Trapper handles activities such as monitoring, alarm thresholding and notification, and data logging in a much more efficient way, bringing these functions into the agent rather than handling them through the Network Management System, as is typically done. This helps to minimize network congestion, ensuring efficient operation of the network.
