“While IBM and Oracle have made big splashes with their recent
Linux initiatives, CA has also been building momentum with the
maverick, open-source technology. The company, which has more
than 18,000 employees, has been blitzing the market with new
Linux-based products with the belief that the operating system
kernel can be a powerful and less costly e-business
platform.”
“Last month, CA announced Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents and
the Unicenter TNG Cluster Management Option as new Linux-based
products. Performance Neugents utilizes CA’s patented technology to
predict and discover potential problems on Linux servers. The
Cluster Management Option manages cluster servers from such
companies as Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Linux and Sun
Microsystems vendors, normalizing the management and monitoring
from a single location. Pincomb says unlike other vendors and
solution providers, CA made the Cluster Management Option product
available for Linux immediately rather than incorporating the
operating system kernel after the product had gained traction with
other mainstream servers and operating systems.”
“In addition, CA’s Unicenter TNG e-business management
solution won the Best System Integration Solution at the LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo in New York earlier this month. The
flagship product enables users to manage Linux in conjunction with
all other resources within an enterprise.”
