Computer Associates International has announced that AimIT Enterprise Edition, an inventory management solution based on CA`s industry-leading Unicenter TNG technology, was the only asset and inventory management product to earn the "Recommended" stamp of approval from Computer Reseller News (CRN).
CRN, a trade publication geared to providers of technology and information solutions, announced its recommendation of AimIT Enterprise Edition after weeks of rigorous testing, culminating in a live demonstration of the software at the CRN Test Centre at the Comdex exhibition in the USA.
"Computer Associates has come up with a complete inventory and asset management package that is both simple to install and fairly easy to use," writes Rich Neves, CRN Test Centre technical editor. "By taking advantage of what the company has already done with Unicenter and breaking it out into a manageable piece for the midsize market, (AimIT) fills a long vacant niche. The CRN Test Centre at Comdex recommends AimIT Enterprise Edition from Computer Associates International Inc." The full review can be read at: http://www.crn.com/testcenter/reviews/817/817ca.asp.
AimIT Enterprise Edition provides complete multi-platform software and hardware asset inventory, PC configuration management, software metering and auditing, advanced scripting and extensive query reporting functions for large-scale, multi-platform computing environments.
AimIT Enterprise Edition empowers IT staff and help desk operators with precise, up-to-date information on hardware and software inventory and configurations. By dynamically tracking changes, and alerting technical staff when installation, configuration or usage anomalies occur, AimIT Enterprise Edition enables IT organisations to enforce desktop policies. AimIT Enterprise Edition also reduces visits by technicians to individual desktops for routine configuration and maintenance tasks.
"The essence of asset and inventory management lies not just in data collection, but in the active and automatic enforcement of desktop and server management policy throughout distributed environments," says Mark Knight, CA Africa's channel manager. "As the only asset and inventory management solution recognised by the CRN Test Centre, AimIT does exactly this, without burdening the IT infrastructure."
AimIT Enterprise Edition has been designed with the scalability and multi-platform support necessary to meet the requirements of large, heterogeneous computing environments including out-of-the-box support for MicrosoftWindows NT, LAN Manager and Windows for Workgroups, Novell NetWare, all major varieties of UNIX, Banyan VINES, LANtastic, PC-NFS, DEC VMS and PathWORKS. CA`s Enterprise Edition products are built on the proven Unicenter TNG Framework. They use its sophisticated management services including auto discovery, calendar, communications and object repository to deliver unparalleled scalability and full inter-application integration. Enterprise Edition users also reap the benefits of the Unicenter`s Real World Interface (2D, 3D, Windows and Web-based) and Business Process Views.
AimIT Enterprise Edition is available through CA`s direct sales force and selected channel partners. AimIT Workgroup Edition is available exclusively through CA`s authorised reseller channel.
