The award was given based on the outstanding network management test scores Unicenter TNG received in the course of the publication's comparative review of competitive solutions. According to editors at Communications Week, "Of the heavyweights, only Computer Associates decided to climb into the ring. Though we asked Hewlett-Packard to participate on an enterprise level, HP was only able to supply us with the smaller, Professional Suite version." Vendors who declined the challenge included IBM/Tivoli (TME See Tivoli Systems Management Software. 10), IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) (NetView), Sun Microsystems (SunNet Manager), Cabletron (Spectrum) and Platinum Technologies. The two other management systems selected for the review were Novell's ManageWise and Hewlett-Packard's OpenView Professional. "Enterprise management is one of those tasks that requires just the right tool, and in this case it's Unicenter TNG," wrote the magazine's editors. "It was clear from our testing that Unicenter TNG is still the one to beat." "We are gratified grat·i·fy tr.v. grat·i·fied, grat·i·fy·ing, grat·i·fies 1.

"CA has known all along that Unicenter TNG is the undisputed champion of enterprise management, and it does not surprise us that some of the contenders were afraid to even step into the ring." The review process covered several important selection criteria-including ease of installation, node discovery, device management, application management, traffic/performance management, troubleshooting/fault management, look and feel, pricing, documentation, and third-party support. In the highly critical area of node discovery, for example, Unicenter TNG outscored its competitors combined. The review also cited Unicenter TNG's complete and comprehensible reporting facilities, as well as its extensive roster of strategic partners and third-party applications. The evaluation, which took place in July, used a test network composed of various routers, switches, multiple LAN segments, WAN connections, network servers and workstations and PCs.
