With Unicenter Network and Systems Management (Unicenter NSM) you can prioritize issues related to the availability and performance of critical business services based on their impact to the business, accelerate problem resolution, and improve service levels while reducing support costs. Unicenter NSM also provides a centralized and unified management platform to manage the heterogeneous IT infrastructures so prevalent in today's enterprises and organizations.

Today we are pleased to announce the general availability of a significant new release - Unicenter Network and Systems Management r11 . We at CA take pride in continually striving to deliver meaningful innovations to help address your expanding business needs, such as those you will find in Unicenter NSM r11.

Building on CA's expertise in enterprise management, we have significantly revised our primary user interfaces and provided more built-in intelligence to our product line. New features for Unicenter NSM r11 include:

• A new Management Command Center - the lifeblood of operations management, provides an intelligent consolidation point for all operational activity
• Adaptive Configuration technology - more relevant alerts which result in less wasted administration time
• Continuous discovery of IT asset information stored in CA's Management Database (MDB)
