IDMS. IDMS is primarily a network database management system for mainframes. It was first developed at B.F. Goodrich and later marketed by Cullinane Database Systems. Since 1989 the product has been owned by Computer Associates, who renamed it Advantage CA-IDMS and later simply to CA IDMS.
IDS can passively monitor more than one segment and can monitor traffic that an IPS or UTM would never see, such as the traffic staying entirely within a LAN or DMZ. An IDS, therefore, could alert on a desktop machine attacking other desktop machines on the LAN, something the IPS or UTM would miss due to being inline.
