Legato Systems Announces Integration Between Legato NetWorker and
CA's Unicenter TNG
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 1999--Legato Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:LGTO - news), a leader in the enterprise storage management software market, today announced a technology development partnership with Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE:CA - news), and the introduction of a product that integrates Legato's data protection technology with Unicenter TNG, CA's end-to-end enterprise management solution. The Legato NetWorker for Frameworks Module integrates management of Legato NetWorker with UnicenterTNG. This integration allows system, database, and network administrators to enhance central monitoring and control of worldwide distributed data storage and backup management.
''Legato's integration with Unicenter TNG provides another robust storage management solution to meet the needs of the Unicenter TNG customers,'' said Brian Shemilt, vice president, Development Partner Programs at CA. ''The addition of Legato NetWorker to the expansive list of Unicenter TNG solutions provides our joint customers with additional choices for business-critical data protection. We're pleased to have such a close business and technical relationship with Legato.''
With this new product, Legato furnishes Unicenter TNG customers with additional choices for cost-effective data management across heterogeneous environments. The Legato NetWorker for Frameworks Module, in the context of Unicenter TNG, provides launch and automatic discovery of Legato NetWorker components for distributed systems management. These automated facilities reduce time spent on network database setup and recurrent maintenance. This automation also reduces
operating costs and provides increased reliability. A single interface, regardless of platform, simplifies event management,
monitoring, and control. The Unicenter TNG NetWorker Business Process View shows the status of different computers, devices, networks, and software, and the dependencies between component devices, so calculated decisions based on the overall view of the entire storage network can easily be made. Resource monitoring, alerts, and event correlation provide data protection information that leads to improved storage systems performance and reduced data loss.
Just as centralized application and network management are key elements of creating a mission-critical environment, so is
centralized administration of data and storage management resources,'' said Nora M. Denzel, senior vice president of Legato
Systems, Inc. Our partnership with Computer Associates is a natural fit in the enterprise arena, where our joint customers can
lower the total cost of ownership for data protection through centralized monitoring, event management, and control.''
Legato is uniquely positioned as a leading provider of a fully integrated storage management solution based upon a consistent,
scalable, and manageable architecture. The company's software is designed to ensure distributed data and applications remain
available to users by minimizing operational downtime both planned and unplanned. The company's software has become the recognized de facto storage management standard with the largest installed based of more than 37,000 customers, protecting more than 4,000,000 systems.
