UniShred irrevocably deletes one or more files and securely obliterates the data contained in the files. Once deleted, the files can not be retrieved in any form. UniShred may be used on disks, tapes, floppies and all writeable media as well as across networks. For extra safety, the programs include a fail-safe protocol to confirm deletion instructions. UniShred is the first UNIX software to conform to the strictest government and commercial standards. The media erasure and declassification standards to which UniShred currently conforms to include the Department of Defense (DOD 5200.28-STD), National Security Agency, National Computer Security Center (NCSC-TG-025 and CSC- STD-005-85) as well as Air Force, Navy and Army guidelines. The software erases data forever. It should be used at any site concerned about data security," says Ben Dubin, Chief Technologist. Dubin also indicates that the software is an easy to use, direct replacement for the UNIX utility rm. UniShred is a superset of the standard rm UNIX command with significant functionality enhancements such as full device erasure." UniShred is priced at $229 per license and is available immediately, as are evaluation licenses. UniShred is available for UNIX systems including SCO, SUN, HP and Addamax. The programs are available on 1/4" cartridge, 1/2" magnetic tape, 3.5" diskettes or 8-mm tape. Headquartered in Los Altos, California, Los Altos Technologies has been the leader of affordable UNIX utility software since 1990.

This easy-to-use command line utility runs on SPARC workstations running the Network Interface Tap (NIT) and SunOS 4.1.1 or higher. NOTE: The NFS servers that the utility will monitor DO NOT have to run SunOS. The utility outputs the following data for each server receiving NFS requests via the local network: * Percentage of NFS requests that had response times exceeding a definable threshold in milliseconds * Average response time for each server (in milliseconds) * Maximum response time for each server (in milliseconds) * NFS operations per second for each server on the monitored subnet This free utility is generating significant interest from the networking community. The product includes a white paper that discusses important NFS performance issues. A COPY OF THE SOFTWARE AND WHITE PAPER CAN BE OBTAINED BY COMPLETING AND RETURNING THE REQUEST FORM BELOW. ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* * * * 30-DAY TRIALS OF SHARPSHOOTER * * * ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* AIM's primary performance management software is SharpShooter, a Client/Server Performance Monitor for TCP/IP networks. Qualified network and system administrators can trial a fully functional copy of SharpShooter for 30 days to evaluate their client/server performance problems in detail. SHARPSHOOTER - QUICKLY IDENTIFIES PROBLEM USERS Monitor NFS traffic by: server, file system, client. Control from one location. Identify: unexpected usage, resource misuse, load imbalances. Free up or add NFS bandwidth on critical servers. Tune NFS and see results. ACCURATELY PINPOINTS BUSY APPLICATIONS View NFS, X Windows, NIS, RPC, and others by: server, interface, client. Define services of interest. Balance load across interfaces, servers. EFFICIENTLY MANAGES GIGABYTES OF DISK STORAGE Analyze disk storage use by: server, file system. Analyze file aging by: server, file system, user, group. Perform capacity planning. Formulate file archival, migration, removal strategy. Free up needed disk space. The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model of network management separates administration into five functional areas: configuration, fault, performance, accounting, and security management. Each functional area of the model often requires a different type of tool. Network managers and protocol analyzers handle the OSI areas of configuration management and fault isolation, respectively. Network managers provide a high level view of your network. Protocol analyzers are useful for debugging broken networks. However, these tools don't give you useful, long-term performance information about who is using network resources and in what amounts. Performance management has only recently been addressed by tools from companies such as AIM. SharpShooter aids in managing all the essential aspects of client/server performance and accounts for utilization of disk file systems on all file servers. SharpShooter lets you understand your client/server performance and gives you the information you need to manage your network efficiently and effectively. ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* * * * SHARPSHOOTER FEATURES * * * ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* SharpShooter uses distributed File Server Agents to collect server performance data and displays this information on graphical monitors and analyzers. The following paragraphs describe how these displays can help you identify and resolve performance problems. NFS THROUGHPUT MONITORS PINPOINT BOTTLENECKS -------------------------------------------- Server throughput can be limited by I/O bottlenecks, slow disk accesses, and insufficient processing power. Furthermore, the actual count of NFS operations per second is constrained by the mix of asynchronous (read) and synchronous (write) operations, since synchronous calls use significantly more resources. SharpShooter uses an advanced calibration method to measure the NFS potential of each server. These figures are displayed in the NFS Throughput Monitors. Actual read and write throughputs are graphed in a stacked strip chart format as a fraction of potential throughput. This display gives you a quick, accurate view of throughput usage for all servers and identifies the source of the traffic. NETWORK SERVICES MONITORS MEASURE THE EFFECTS OF DISTRUBITED APPLICATIONS ----------------------------------------------- SharpShooter allows you to monitor other network services and traffic in addition to NFS, and break down the traffic by interface. SharpShooter tracks throughput for services including X Windows, Telnet, E-mail, Yellow Pages, and others, and identifies who created the traffic. SharpShooter allows you to define your own network service categories for specialized distributed applications. With SharpShooter installed on your servers, you can view the load on each interface, affording you an opportunity to balance subnet traffic. DISK STORAGE MONITORS ACCOUNT FOR USE DOWN TO THE USER LEVEL -------------------------------------- SharpShooter measures the available storage capacity on each of your servers. This information is displayed in the Disk Storage Monitors. This monitor uses strip charts to display disk storage as a fraction of the total available space on the server's disks. SharpShooter also includes a disk usage report that shows the growth in user/group disk utilization. FILE AGING ANALYZERS IDENTIFY OLD AND/OR UNUSED FILES ----------------------------------------------------- System performance and integrity can be sacrificed as your disks become full. You may need to delete or archive old, unused files. The File Aging Analyzers, a subset of the Disk Storage Monitor, display file aging data. This data uncovers file systems with old files and identifies who owns them. SharpShooter includes reports with file aging statistics for all users and groups across the entire network. ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* * * * SUPPORTED SERVERS * * * ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* SharpShooter runs on the following servers: - Sun 3, Sun SPARC, Solbourne, and Auspex with SunOS 4.0.3 or higher - DEC 5000 series with ULTRIX 4.2 ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* * * * REQUEST FORM * * * ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* To receive a copy of AIM's NFS Response Time Utility, please E-mail all of the following information to nfsrtm-request@aim.com: Name: Title: Company: Address: City, State, ZIP: Telephone (include area code): Fax (include area code): E-mail Address: Types of Servers: Number of Servers: 1.
