System Description
The Scalar DLC software runs as a service under Windows 2000 / 2003. It serves as a centralized library
management tool that simplifies and automates the tracking and management of all system resources for
optimal performance and maximum availability. The Scalar DLC software provides network and Systems
Administrators with a Java-based interface that allows library monitoring from anywhere on the Web.
The Scalar DLC also allows administrators to select parameters that define which library events provide
notifications to customers and the Global Call Center (GCC) via email and Simple Network Management
Protocol
(SNMP) alerts.
The main working tool of the Scalar DLC software is the Management GUI. All the actions of management
and configuration are executed via this tool. See the
Scalar DLC Reference Guide for details.
