Computer Associates Unleashes Unicenter TND.NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1998-- Revolutionary Release Of Unicenter Adds Time As The New Dimension; Management Object Repository Based On Jasmine jasmine (jăs`mĭn, jăz–) or jessamine (jĕs`əmĭn), any plant of the genus Jasminum of the family Oleaceae (olive family). Neural Network neural network or neural computing, computer architecture modeled upon the human brain's interconnected system of neurons. Neural networks imitate the brain's ability to sort out patterns and learn from trial and error, discerning and extracting Agents, "Neugents," Coupled With Dramatic New User Interface Lets Users See The Future Computer Associates today announced Unicenter TND TND In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Tunisian Dinar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. (The Next Dimension), groundbreaking technology that offers organizations the unprecedented opportunity to control and manage their global enterprises from the perspective of time. Unicenter TND incorporates three revolutionary technological advances: - Time dimensionality that enables users to travel through time as they manage their environment. - Neural network agents (neugents) that learn, predict and resolve problems before they arise. - Advanced user interface technology that leverages Unicenter's Real World Interface to let users see the future. Built on the Jasmine-based object repository for the management of time-series objects, Unicenter TND is the first self-managing solution for dealing with complex IT infrastructures. "New technology has never made such a compelling business case in the IT industry," said CA Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Charles B. Wang. "For the first time, we are giving clients a solution that will make time an ally instead of an enemy." "CA is the first vendor to embark on an initiative that we believe could transform enterprise management as we presently know it," said Chris Mahony, analyst, The Yankee Group (the Yankee Group, Boston, MA, www.yankeegroup.com) A major market research, analysis and consulting firm founded in 1970 by Howard Anderson. It provides general consulting and strategic planning in the computer and communications field. . "By combining neugent technology with the Real World Interface and time dimension, CA is the first in its class to propose a solution that not only addresses the needs of users today, but also their needs down the road."

By focusing on the time dimension in a consistent and rigorous manner, Unicenter TND allows managers to address business challenges that, until now, have been entirely beyond their ability to analyze. "Until Unicenter TND, organizations had to accept management tools that were by definition reactive because they were limited to dealing with the here and now," Wang said. "By creating an infrastructure to collect and manage historic information in terms of how series of events are related in time, Unicenter TND gives users a powerful way to manage an environment the way it is, the way it has changed, and the way it probably will be." While most enterprise management systems allow an organization to deal with a set of conditions as they exist, only Unicenter TND allows that organization to deal with the same set of conditions at any point in time. Unicenter TND also gives the organization the tools to display the delta between the present and past state. "Introducing the time element with Unicenter TND makes predictive and proactive management possible," said Steve Foote, director of research, Hurwitz Group. "Managing the coming onslaught of component-based applications will be impossible without such advanced neural analysis." Neugents: Neural Network Technology Comes Of Age Neugents, software agents that apply neural networks to address compelling business problems, transform every aspect of enterprise management in bold new ways. More powerful than linear rate change trend analysis and more sophisticated than rule-based systems, neural network technology rationalizes the behavior of complex, multi-dimensional variables in a way that makes meaningful predictive analysis possible. "In the past, IT managers did well to quickly identify and resolve problems before they caused too much damage," said Wang. "That's not good enough anymore. Organizations today demand service levels that preclude outages from occurring in the first place. Neugents fundamentally change the way IT resources are managed." Neugents reproduce some functions of the human brain, such as self-learning, with mathematical models

Once trained, a neugent can be used to recognize a situation, make an evaluation, reach a conclusion or take action. Neugent technology has implications for predicting system failures and outages, optimizing performance, job scheduling In a large computer, establishing a job queue to run a sequence of programs over any period of time such as a single shift, a full day, etc. and workload management. Neugent technology promises to be able to predict new classes of desirable or undesirable events, such as avoiding new viruses, by predicting their behavior and triggering an alert when the precursors to such behavior is detected. Neugent technology can also serve as a powerful early warning system by recognizing security breach patterns, device outages and performance problems, and capacity-related issues. Neugents have profound implications across all enterprise management areas including asset management, capacity planning Determining the required future configuration of hardware and software for a network, datacenter or Web site. There are numerous capacity planning tools on the market used to monitor and analyze the performance of the current hardware and software. , storage utilization, security policy administration, performance management and virus detection. See The Future Unicenter TND offers new visualization technology for helping decision makers understand relationships within complex multi-dimensional data. A compelling 3D Real World Interface gives users a VCR-like control panel to scroll To continuously move forward, backward or sideways through the text and images on screen or within a window. Scrolling implies continuous and smooth movement, a line, character or pixel at a time, as if the data were on a paper scroll being rolled behind the screen. See auto scroll. backward and forward Adv. 1. backward and forward - moving from one place to another and back again; "he traveled back and forth between Los Angeles and New York"; "the treetops whipped to and fro in a frightening manner"; "the old man just sat on the porch and rocked back and forth all in time. As the user rewinds and fast-forwards through the time dimension, the graphical representation of the IT environment under consideration unfolds in three dimensions on the Real World Interface. Applying 3D object rendering and animation, the interface enhances the ability of managers to visualize and pinpoint problems in the IT environment and makes it easy to grasp even the most subtle relationships between enterprise resources. "With the visualization properties of Unicenter TND, administrators will be able to logically depict correlations, relationships, and properties that now elude e·lude tr.v. e·lud·ed, e·lud·ing, e·ludes 1. To evade or escape from, as by daring, cleverness, or skill: The suspect continues to elude the police. 2. most analytical initiatives," said Wang. "As administrators scroll backwards or forwards in time, they can see the transition states actually change and drill down to see the data underlying the states at each point in time." Unicenter TND Availability Unicenter TND is scheduled to be available in 1999. To enable Unicenter TNG TNG Training TNG The Next Generation TNG Tongue TNG The Newspaper Guild (Union) TNG Transitional National Government TNG Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (national facility of the Italian astronomical community) clients to start reaping the benefits of this technology, CA is making available the neugents as add-on options to Unicenter TNG 2.2, starting today. These initial neugents deal with performance and availability. Computer Associates International, Inc.
