48 RAZOR (Commercial Configuration Management Tools)
RAZOR from Visible Systems Corporation (formerly from Tower Concepts)
is an easily tailored configuration management package with an
integrated problem tracking system. It offers control and coordination
of file versioning and product build management for both ASCII and
binary files. Its easily parsed ASCII database encourages users to
generate their own scripts for report generation and process control.
By attaching shell scripts both before and after Razor events, the
tool becomes an enforcement vehicle for the development process. Razor
is available on SunOS, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, IRIX, Linux, and MS WinNT
with clients also on MS Win95/98/NT. A supplier WWW site is available
at http://www.razor.visible.com
A company representative stressed that it is extremely easy to try out
their product. Both documentation and a full copy of the product for
evaluation are available by FTP. New releases and patches are handled
in the same manner.
