CA releases news version of Unicenter ASM

MUMBAI

NOVEMBER 29, 2006

CA announced Unicenter Advanced Systems Management (Unicenter ASM) r11.1, a
platform-agnostic solution that provides centralized management for virtualized
and clustered server environments - enabling customers to continuously assess,
manage and optimize system resources to ensure service availability and
reliability.

Unicenter ASM automatically balances workloads in complex environments that
include clusters and virtualized platforms. Through pre-defined business
policies, it performs centralized dynamic resource brokering across virtualized
server resources.

If the performance of a mission-critical application begins to degrade and
additional memory or CPU capacity is required, Unicenter ASM can automatically
reallocate available resources to that application. Unicenter ASM can also make
resources available by moving the least critical application on the virtual
machines to a different server. If and when the demands of the mission-critical
application diminish, Unicenter ASM will then automatically reallocate resources
to other applications as necessary.

Unicenter ASM is a keystone product of CA's Virtual Platform Management
solution, which helps organizations simplify the management of their physical,
virtual and clustered server environments. It supports CA's EITM vision by
unifying and simplifying the management of multi-vendor, heterogeneous virtual
platform environments, and by improving service while reducing cost.
