“CA And Red Hat Will Distribute One Million Copies Of Unicenter
TNG. Framework Bundled With Red Hat Linux”

“Under the agreement, CA will develop versions of Unicenter TNG,
including the Unicenter TNG Framework, to support Red Hat Linux,
bringing a new level of manageability to this increasingly popular
platform. CA will produce and distribute without charge 500,000
copies of Unicenter TNG Framework for Red Hat Linux. Similarly, Red
Hat will distribute another 500,000 copies of the Unicenter TNG
Framework and associated management APIs with its Linux Application
CD.”

“The combination of Red Hat’s focused support and CA’s Unicenter
TNG enterprise management technology is exactly the vote of
confidence needed for IT decision-makers to move ahead with Linux,”
said Richard L. Ptak, vice president, systems and applications
management, Hurwitz Group. “Traditional corporate IT can adopt
Linux as a strategic platform, knowing that it has the support of
technology leaders.”
