Date: April 30, 2007

On behalf of CA, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that CA CMDB, r11.1, gen level 0704 is now available.

Minimizing operation risk by managing relationships is the fundamental purpose of a CMDB. CA CMDB release 11.1 makes this objective more easily accomplished by including Cohesion as part of the basic CA CMDB solution offering. Our seamless federation among these two products empowers the CA CMDB with the ability to discover CIs, discover relationships among CIs and automatically populate the CA CMDB repository with this information.

Much of the power of the CA CMDB is its ability to aggregate data from IT silos across the infrastructure and to integrate those IT silos into a logical entity. Designed to work with our Universal Federation Adapter the MDR Launcher accomplishes the federation/integration of nearly any IT silo found in your business. In short the CA CMDB enables federated information from nearly any source to be presented to users of the CA CMDB as simply as a mouse-click.

We also addressed scalability in this release by introducing technology (secondary server and remote database) that enables you to distribute the application across multiple devices thus enabling you to have thousands of simultaneous users of the CA CMDB.

Additionally in release 11.1 we added the ability to support Oracle in conjunction with the Windows operating system.
