Computer Associates International Inc has announced plans for its Unicenter TNG enterprise management system and Jasmine database management system to be Jini-enabled. At the CeBIT fair in Hannover, Germany, the firm also announced a new release of its Unicnter TNG web management option (WMO), which is intended to allow more effective management of web based applications.
Unicenter TNG will be able to discover, monitor and secure Jini- enabled devices across a network. Unicenter will also be registered as a Jini service, so that Jini-enabled applications or appliances can use Unicenter functions. CA claims that when Jasmine is integrated with Jini, it will allow users to create multimedia applications and use Jini-enabled devices on the network.
Meanwhile, WMO 3.0 has ramped-up performance management perspectives – end user, internal server and back-end application. The system correlates network, web server and back- end failures, speeding up problem diagnosis, CA claims. WMO 3.0 supports NT and Unix servers and offers extended support for web servers such as Apache, Microsoft IIS and Netscape Enterprise Server.
