CA Launches Free 30-Day Trial Offer for Neugents
ACTION ITEMS
Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) has announced it is offering its qualified clients a 30-day free trial license for Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents for Windows NT, the industry's first application of adaptive pattern recognition and neural network technology for enterprise management.
"By rapidly and automatically predicting problems before they happen in even the most complex IT environments, Performance Neugents can offer Unicenter TNG clients tremendous value in terms of high availability, reduced downtime, and reduced operational costs," said Yogesh Gupta, CA senior vice president of product strategy. "We believe this value will be amply evident over a 30-day trial period, and that clients will be anxious to implement Neugents as extensively as possible right away."
Neugents enable an entirely new generation of business applications that can not only analyze conditions in business markets and technical environments, but can also predict changes in those conditions and suggest courses of action to proactively capitalize on opportunities and/or avoid potential problems.
Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents are particularly valuable in supporting E-commerce applications since availability can directly impact revenues. High availability of E-commerce sites is typically dependent on a tremendous range of variables -- including Web server functions, Internet traffic levels and back-end resources. Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents are uniquely capable of assimilating these diverse parameters to help substantially improve service availability and end-user satisfaction.
Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents can proactively prevent performance and availability problems with a level of precision and rigor unattainable by today's conventional trend and resource analysis solutions. This powerful solution results from the seamless integration of two complementary CA technologies -- the ability of Neugents to perform multi-dimensional pattern recognition based on historical performance data, and the power of Unicenter TNG to monitor and manage the IT environment from an end-to-end business-process perspective.
Additional features of Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents include:
"Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents firmly establish a leadership role for Computer Associates in proactive enterprise management," said Paul Mason, vice president of infrastructure software research with International Data Corporation. "The Neugents Trial CD allows Unicenter TNG users to gain a full appreciation of what it means to predict and prevent system problems before they actually occur. CA's Neugents represent the next step in the evolution in enterprise management towards the goal of self-healing IT environments."
