Frank Moss, Tivoli president and CEO, commented, "Companies deploying client/server applications on systems in multiple locations face a unique set of management challenges. Ensuring consistency of applications, data and resources across many sites is key to avoiding many of the problems inherent in distributed client/server environments. Also, the operations staff must be able to identify, isolate and address those problems that do occur in these environments in a timely and proactive manner. Our customers tell us that delivering mainframe-type service levels -- without losing control of management costs -- is what they need to make client/server deployments pay off. We have spent the last two years developing TME 2.0 specifically for these environments."
