Computer Associates and Intel Revolutionize Enterprise-Wide Pentium Pro Server Management.CA-WORLD '96, NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 26, 1996-- CA-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) Fully Integrates With Intel Instrumentation And Management Functions CA-Unicenter TNG Management Inside Pentium Pro The sixth generation of the Intel x86 family of CPU chips. The term may refer to the chip or to a PC that uses it. Introduced in 1995 as the successor to the Pentium, models from 150 MHz to 200 MHz were released. Processor-Based Servers Computer Associates and Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking today announced a strategic agreement that greatly reduces the cost and complexity of implementing and managing Pentium Pro processor-based servers throughout the global enterprise. Working together, the two companies have created the first integrated solution that consolidates data from Intel's Pentium Pro processor-based servers and correlates it into useable management information. Organizations no longer need to create and maintain custom interfaces to access this information, providing the ultimate control in the management of their server investments. The new solution tightly integrates CA-Unicenter TNG with built-in board level hardware and software instrumentation. It enables proactive systems management, previously not possible, and reduces fault resolution time from hours to minutes. The alliance is a key component of CA's end-to-end management strategy, extending enterprise management to embrace the LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and the Web. It embraces Pentium Pro processor-based servers as fully manageable components of the enterprise management infrastructure. It also provides facilities for users to diagnose, troubleshoot and configure See configuration. (software) configure - A program by Richard Stallman to discover properties of the current platform and to set up make to compile and install gcc. Cygnus configure was a similar system developed by K. Intel Pentium Pro processor-based servers. "This landmark agreement underscores CA's commitment to deliver advanced management capabilities to the heterogeneous enterprise," said CA President and COO Sanjay Kumar For the Indian soldier, see . Sanjay Kumar (born Colombo, Sri Lanka, 1962) was the Chairman & CEO of Computer Associates International (now CA, Inc.), until April 2004. He emigrated with his family to the US in 1976 to escape civil unrest in his native Sri Lanka. . "With Pentium Pro processor-based platforms becoming a standard in corporate IT departments, CA-Unicenter TNG will ensure that all servers in the enterprise are managed, monitored and secured." --To provide flexibility in the integration of management functions, CA and Intel have provided for two access methods to server management information: using DMI (Desktop Management Interface) The first desktop management standard from the DMTF. Enabling PCs to be monitored from a central console, it was superseded by the DMTF's Common Information Model (see CIM). and SNMP-based open instrumentation interfaces inherent on Intel Pentium Pro-based systems, or by accessing server instrumentation available from Intel's LANDesk Server Monitor Module and LANDesk Server Manager PRO products to provide an unprecedented level of management and communications with Intel servers regardless of their state. Highlights of the agreement include: -- CA-Unicenter TNG will communicate with Intel servers to obtain system information such as temperature status, voltage status, and cabinet intrusion. Utilizing CA-Unicenter TNG, the administrator can perform management tasks remotely, ensuring high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. of servers. It now becomes possible for servers in non-operational states to be re-set, rebooted and powered on, thus extending CA-Unicenter TNG's end-to-end management capabilities to include non-functional servers. This means that critical alerting and remote control is available from a self- contained diagnostic unit, which is operational even when there is a server failure. This provides the ability to manage a server regardless of its state. CA-Unicenter TNG is able to perform critical troubleshooting by analyzing server reset/failure sequences. "This agreement is a clear recognition of Intel's leadership position in the expanding corporate server market segment. The integration of CA-Unicenter with open instrumentation technologies and LANDesk Server management products provides a strong base for end-to-end management of the enterprise and expands the inherent manageability of Intel Pentium Pro processor-based servers," said Dave House Dave House is a singer/songwriter from South East England.

Despite other band projects his solo performances remain some of the most successful work he's done. , senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Enterprise Server Group. -0- Computer Associates International, Inc.
