Tivoli Systems Inc, Austin, Texas, has finished the 64-bit implementaion of its management environment and application suite for Digital Equipment Corp’s Alpha AXP running Digital Unix. Both Tivoli and DEC will sell the product. The implementation, which had been due last month, took longer than expected – it is Tivoli’s first 64-bit effort – but oddly Tivoli, never usually shy of trumpeting its achievements, said it simply hasn’t bothered publicising the fact that the Alpha version is now generally available. Tivoli charges between $150 and $350 per node for its Admin, Courier, Print, FSM and Sentry applications. Workload, Epoch Backup and Enterprise Console cost from $9,000, $5,000 and $25,000 respectively. Tivoli Management Environment components – Tivoli/ADE, /AEF and /EIF – are priced $25,000, $6,000 and $6,000 per developer respectively. TMF, the company’s distributed management systems framework, that is required for using the environment is $125 per node for clients and servers.
