Computer Associates Delivers Intelligent eBusiness Management for Linux Platform

            CA's Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents Ensure Optimal
       eBusiness Service Levels on Popular Open Source Operating System

    ISLANDIA, N.Y., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer Associates International,
Inc. (CA) today announced Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents for Linux,
further extending the scope of Unicenter TNG's unique predictive management
capabilities to ensure higher eBusiness performance, availability, and service
levels across the enterprise.  The announcement was made at LinuxWorld in New
York City.
    Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents for Linux utilize CA's patented
Neugents technology to automatically detect atypical behaviors or conditions
on monitored Linux systems -- regardless of how subtle those anomalies may be.
eBusiness managers can now predict and discover potential problems on Linux
servers before services are adversely affected.  This unique predictive
capability enables organizations to achieve the highest levels of service and
customer satisfaction within their eBusiness environments.
    "With business applications becoming increasingly complex and mission-
critical in nature, it is essential for IT staffs to proactively predict and
address performance and availability problems before any downtime occurs,"
said Audrey Rasmussen, vice president, Enterprise Management Associates, a
Boulder, Colo. based analyst firm specializing in next generation business
infrastructure management.  "Computer Associates has recognized this challenge
and has implemented an innovative strategy to address these issues in the
Linux environment.  By extending its Unicenter TNG performance Neugents
capabilities beyond traditional platforms, along with other management
solutions, Computer Associates is supporting their commitments toward the Open
Source Community."
    Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents enable intelligent management of the
eBusiness infrastructure by learning and adapting to individual system
dynamics and changes that occur over time.  As IT environments continue to
expand in size and complexity, Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents can
substantially simplify operations and reduce overhead through problem
prediction and precise root-cause analysis.
    Anniston Army Depot is designated the Enterprise Management Center of
Excellence for the Army and other defense agencies.  The most important
business need at Anniston is to keep the mission critical information up and
running at maximum availability.  Prior to Unicenter TNG, Anniston experienced
a lower than expected problem resolution rate and needed to increase the level
of support to their customers. Unicenter TNG and Performance Neugents gave the
depot the solution it was seeking.  Knowing when, where, why and how potential
problems are likely to occur enables depot specialists to raise service levels
and meet customer demands.
    Unicenter TNG provides a single point of control for managing all of the
resources critical to eBusiness processes including systems, networks,
applications, databases, the Internet, non-IT devices and more.  Unicenter TNG
Performance Neugents deliver unique predictive capabilities that further
enhance manageability and ensure unparalleled service for eBusiness.
    "Our customers are telling us that Linux is an integral part of their
eBusiness strategy," said John Pincomb, CA divisional vice president,
marketing.  "They are demanding smart solutions that ensure availability and
performance around the clock, no matter what.  Performance Neugents can help
them achieve that goal with minimal demand on staff resources."
    Available under CA's new simplified licensing model, the latest release of
Unicenter TNG Performance Neugents also supports a wide range of eBusiness
platforms including Windows NT, UNIX, and OS/390.

    Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA) delivers the most
advanced and comprehensive portfolio of software solutions that manage
eBusiness. CA has more than 18,000 employees worldwide and had revenue in
excess of $6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.  For more
