Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) today announced that Hisense Group, one of China`s largest manufacturers of consumer and business electronics, has selected CA`s Unicenter to centralize monitoring and management of its distributed network. Hisense Group expects to bolster its system stability, while dramatically reducing infrastructure management costs and complexity.
Established 30 years ago, Hisense Group specializes in a diverse group of businesses, including household electronics, communications and information technology, as well as commerce and real estate. Hisense Group recently installed more than 3,000 desktops and servers running Windows 95/98/NT 4.0. The expansion of the network and a steady increase in the number and usage of networked devices made it critical for Hisense Group to develop a strategy to efficiently manage the entire system. Hisense Group reviewed various solutions before deciding on CA`s Unicenter to help meet its goal of systems efficiency and effectiveness.
"Unicenter will help us to centrally and effectively manage our network while providing a smooth and productive expansion of our services and business," said Shi Chen, Director of Hisense Group`s eCommerce Department. "Our IT staff will be better able to monitor the system status in real time from a central location and configure network resources according to our needs."
Hisense Group is deploying Unicenter Network and Systems Management to automatically discover, from a central console, all network devices and peripherals distributed throughout its network environment. In addition, Unicenter Performance Management will enable the automatic, real-time monitoring of the network environment while Unicenter Advanced Network Operations will assist IT administrators in rapidly recognizing, and proactively resolving, network problems as they occur often before users become aware of a problem or bottleneck.
"Unicenter is the ideal solution for helping Hisense Group ensure the trouble-free and optimal operation of its network," said Cliff Yung, senior vice president of CA Greater China. "Unicenter will provide Hisense Group with the critically needed infrastructure management capability to reduce costs and expand services to take their business to the next level."
