“Allan Andersen, vice president of enterprise management at
Computer Associates International Inc. (stock: CA), said TNG 2.4
lets companies manage homogeneous Linux networks. Previous versions
required network managers to run TNG from another supported
operating system, such as Windows 2000 or Unix.”
“While we had agents for Linux in the past, this is the first
offering to bring security management, event management, storage
management, and workload management to all major Linux platforms,”
Andersen said.”
“This should be outstanding news for Linux users,” said
Valerie O’Connell, the Aberdeen Group’s managing director of
enterprise management. “Linux lacked the trappings of corporate
appropriateness. Well, when Unicenter TNG can support head-to-toe
operations, then you are corporate appropriate.”
