Acquisition boosts CA`s Lotus Notes support
In a move to enhance its support for Lotus Notes/Domino applications, Computer Associates (CA) has acquired privately held QXCOM, a software provider for the Lotus market. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
QXCOM offers a suite of 11 solutions, called QX/Tools, designed to enhance the security and application database administration of large-scale, distributed Notes and Domino networks. CA will license the QX/Tools products and integrate them with the Unicenter TNG Lotus Notes/Domino Option.
The Lotus Notes/Domino Option monitors all the components involved in supporting Notes-based applications, including network and systems availability, database replication, and virus protection, in order to optimise performance, says CA Africa technical director, Angela Kriek.
