Leading Chinese Internet portal logs on to CA Unicenter

21CN.com taps award-winning e-business infrastructure management solution to fortify growing networking environment
Johannesburg, 12 Nov 2001

Computer Associates International, Inc (CA) has announced that China`s top Internet portal, 21CN.com, has selected CA`s Unicenter to closely monitor and control its increasingly complex network environment, ensuring the stability of its environment while providing uninterrupted service to a growing customer base.

Launched in 1999, 21CN.com has become well known for its professional, stylish, and innovative online services. The company`s Chinese-language portal, www.21CN.com, which also provides a broad range of professional information and large-scale business services, has experienced exponential growth since the site`s inception. The portal receives an average of 6 million hits daily.

21CN.com selected Unicenter after an extensive evaluation of management solutions to better control its Windows NT and Unix-based computing environment, which was rapidly growing in complexity as its business expanded. From a single Unicenter console, 21CN.com administrators can quickly examine the performance of Web servers and other network devices throughout the enterprise and proactively address issues before customer services are affected.

As a result, 21CN.com has been able to significantly improve customer service levels while decreasing administrative costs.

"Thanks to the centralised and highly automated infrastructure management capabilities provided by Unicenter, we are now able to provide extremely high levels of uninterrupted service to a large base of customers across China," said Hu Wei, vice president, 21CN.com. "At the same time, by enabling us to streamline and centralise our administrative operations, Unicenter significantly reduces the cost of our e-business operations."

"Companies such as 21CN.com want to devote their resources and creative energies to the development, deployment and marketing of innovative online services - not the maintenance of their e-business infrastructure," Cliff Yung, senior vice president, CA Greater China. "By delivering the tools necessary to efficiently and effectively monitor, maintain, and control its critical e-business systems, Unicenter allows 21CN.com to focus on the sustained expansion of its business with full confidence in the reliability and performance of its online services."
