These servers will also be equipped with HP TopTools management software, which is fully integrated with Unicenter TNG.

"In addition to being extremely easy to monitor and administer individually, IT departments will also gain tremendous benefits from being able to better manage their NetServers collectively with other elements of the enterprise infrastructure."
"Japanese corporate customers are very fortunate that Hewlett-Packard Japan has decided to take the lead shipping Unicenter TNG Framework Japanese Edition with their server platform," said Chua Tock Ling, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia and President and Managing Director of Computer Associates Japan.
