CA Deep Agent for Tandem

Johannesburg, 20 May 1998

Tandem has announced two Deep Agent products for Unicenter TNG on Tandem NonStop Himalaya servers, OMF Object Agent, and NSX Performance Agent. The agents are closely integrated into the Tandem NonStop Kernel operating system and they both provide superior functionality and performance. They will be released when Unicenter TNG for NonStop Himalaya servers becomes available. These new products extend the partnership between Tandem and CA to provide CA`s industry leading Unicenter TNG integrated enterprise management solution with Tandem NonStop systems world-wide. In addition, Tandem supports these installations as a Unicenter Preferred Service Provider. OMF Object Agent for Unicenter TNG allows users to monitor objects in Tandem`s unique loosely coupled, single system image environment. Any changes in the actual state of an object are displayed in the Unicenter TNG Real World interface. Changes are logged to the Event Monitoring System and can be processed by Unicenter TNG automated operations software for automatic recovery. The NSX Performance Agent for Unicenter TNG provides detailed performance information about such critical resources as processors, line handlers, disks, processes, and systems. It displays statistics about all of these key server resources in the user`s network. Data is automatically written to online displays and a database for analysis, archiving, and report generation. Integration for both of these new products is provided with the Unicenter TNG Common Object Repository to enable system object information to be displayed via the Unicenter TNG Real World Interface. The integration with Unicenter TNG also enables OMF and NSX agent data to be incorporated in Business Process Views for easy analysis. "OMF Object Agent will enhance availability by enabling users to monitor any discrepancies between an object and its user-defined configuration parameters," said CA Africa Channel Manager, Mark Knight. "Discrepancies can be acted upon by automated procedures or by manual intervention. NSX Performance Agent will enhance performance and system availability by enabling users to identify and monitor critical conditions before they impact service."
