AST Enterprise Systems Management (ESM), a division of the AST Group, brings to South Africa all the benefits of a wide-ranging strategic alliance that will see Sun embracing BMC`s Application Service Assurance (ASA) software solutions throughout its enterprise. The agreement will see Sun and BMC integrate technologies and combine their resources in sales and marketing.
In addition, Sun signed a substantial software license purchase agreement to deploy BMC Software`s ASA products throughout its IT infrastructure. Sun`s Professional services will now include ASA products across a diversity of enterprise service applications and has also entered into an agreement to become a worldwide reseller to sell and support BMC`s software solutions..
"Sun`s wholehearted adoption of BMC`s ASA software technology throughout its IT environment is very encouraging to us, as SA distributors of BMC`s ASA Software solutions," says Martyn Healy, MD of AST Enterprise Systems Management. "It confirms to us that we are supplying our clients with leading-edge world-class products."
"The combination of Sun`s Enterprise servers and BMC Software's ASA products adds great value for customers deploying business critical applications," adds Healy. "Our customers can now achieve the service-level requirement, high availability, performance and recoverability of applications, so essential in today's demanding environments."
Sun will join BMC's Patrol Developer network, an organisation of developers interested in building application management solutions that integrate with BMC's Patrol Management Suite of products to monitor commercial applications. In addition, Sun is delivering two new Patrol Knowledge Modules: Sun Cluster KM for Patrol and Sun Ultra Enterprise KM for Patrol.
In addition, Sun is using several of BMC's products internally to deliver ASA to its user community, such as Patrol Management Suite, BEST/1 Suite and SQL-Back Track products.
