Cabletron Announces Spectrum Software and ServiceBundles; Offerings Deliver Strategy for Effective EnterpriseManagement Deployment October 20, 1998 08:20 AM ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1998--Leading the industry towards simplified enterprise management, Cabletron Systems CS today announced three new bundles that prepackage SPECTRUM software and services: The SPECTRUM Starter Bundle, SPECTRUM Optimization, and SPECTRUM Optimization Plus. "Cabletron has been listening to the industry-wide complaints about growing complexity and low implementation success rates with enterprise management solutions," said John McConnell of McConnell Associates. "Cabletron is tackling the serious issue of helping customers minimize much of the risk commonly associated with the initial purchase and implementation of a management platform. Customers want more than an ongoing features battle, they need to get effective solutions deployed and managing their networks and services." The SPECTRUM Starter Bundle equips new SPECTRUM customers with a combination of product and services recommended for a highly successful implementation of the critical foundation layer of SPECTRUM. This package ensures the solution meets the customers business needs as well as IT requirements, and will be successfully deployed. The Optimization Bundle provides Cabletron's existing SPECTRUM customers a means to obtain even higher utilization of their SPECTRUM investment. A Cabletron consultant evaluates the current configuration, recommends enhancements and implements the most current shipping version of SPECTRUM. The Optimization Plus Bundle extends the above offering to include the added assurance of SPECTRUM's Remote Administration Service. This service significantly augments IT staffs by outsourcing to Cabletron the responsibility of administering SPECTRUM. All three of the bundles are available through Cabletron's SPECTRUM Software Solutions and Services Organization and channel partners worldwide. "The bundles come on the heels of the SPECTRUM Remote Administration Services announcement and shows Cabletron's commitment to its solutions approach to software sales," said Terry Seymour Vice-President of Cabletron's Worldwide Software Sales.
