BMC Software, the provider of e-business systems management, has been chosen by Microsoft to be a member of its Global Enterprise Partner group. As a member of this group, BMC, locally represented by Master Distributor CCH Enterprise Solutions, is one of a limited number of partners which will work closely with Microsoft on a global level to deliver service level management solutions to customers as they deploy Microsoft Windows DNA-2000 based platforms and the Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers.
BMC will work with various Microsoft teams to develop management solutions necessary to keep customers` Windows-based applications running non-stop. In addition, BMC developers will work onsite with other professionals at Microsoft`s Redmond laboratory to develop solutions based on Microsoft`s Windows 2000, Windows DNA 2000 Architecture and .NET Enterprise Servers.
"Being included in Microsoft`s Global Enterprise Partner group elevates BMC to a special position," says Reg Swart, BMC product manager at CCH Enterprise Solutions. "It gives BMC greater presence in the research and development process, in addition to working directly with Microsoft customers through its field organisations. A major benefit is the reduction in time it takes to bring customers new products to ensure continuous application availability."
The family of .NET enterprise servers - the latest evolution of the Windows DNA servers - are aimed at delivering deep XML integration, pioneering software-scale support across all tiers, distributed business process orchestration, and interoperability with existing software and hardware investments, and also will provide the foundation for building a new generation of Web services with the .NET Platform. The .NET enterprise servers, all based on Windows 2000, include Microsoft SQL Server 2000, BizTalk Server 2000, Commerce Server 2000, Application Center 2000, Host Integration Server 2000, Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000, Exchange 2000 Server, and the Microsoft Visual Studio development tools.
