Monday October 11, 8:18 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SPECTRUM Selected for Worldwide Enterprise Network Management At Compaq Multimillion Dollar Deal Prompts Premiere of SPECTRUM Module for Compaq Insight Manager at Telecom '99 GENEVA, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 1999-- SPECTRUM today announced that its enterprise management solution is the platform of choice to manage Compaq's global IT infrastructure. Also announced today is the availability of SPECTRUM's Compaq Insight Management Module--a key component developed to manage Compaq's global enterprise--now available to customers whose networks include Compaq products. Management of a multinational networked infrastructure is the first step in Compaq's phased approach to implementing SPECTRUM worldwide for a total network, systems and service-level solution. The initial deployment also includes tightly integrated SPECTRUM partner applications like EIS, Opticom's executive-level reporting tool, and Metrix Web Console, a web-based management interface for SPECTRUM. SPECTRUM Professional Services custom developed Compaq management modules for SPECTRUM to better align Compaq's global network with its business goals. ''We acquired multiple management tools through acquisitions, but SPECTRUM's unparalleled scalability and multivendor support is allowing us to replace many of them with a single platform,'' said Fred Jones, vice president of IS for Compaq. ''Integration between Compaq Insight Manager and SPECTRUM takes management of Compaq equipment to the next level--for Compaq as well as our customers.'' About SPECTRUM's Compaq Insight Management Module The SPECTRUM Compaq Insight Management Module enables SPECTRUM customers to manage a wide range of Compaq systems within a distributed multivendor network. The module extracts data from Compaq Insight Manager agents and integrates it into SPECTRUM. By itself, the Compaq Insight Manager is an intelligent management tool that constantly monitors and analyzes performance, configuration and fault management data from Compaq servers and desktop clients. When it is coupled with SPECTRUM, customers can view and manage data on Compaq systems in a larger context with applications and the entire networked infrastructure. Today's announcement comes on the heels of Compaq's equity investment in SPECTRUM. The SPECTRUM Compaq Insight Management Module can be seen October 10th through the 17TH at Telecom '99 in Hall 2 at Compaq's booth (# 2081). Additional SPECTRUM solutions can be seen at Cabletron's booth (# 1111).
