CA Inc. announced Spectrum 8.1 Monday, the newest version of its network fault management software.
IT staffers will be able to use the product to account for human error as a cause for outages, as well as technology problems, said the company. CA Spectrum 8.1 will immediately notify network managers of any recent configuration changes that may have led to an outage or network slowdown.
The new release also integrates with CA’s application management software, Wily Introscope, and enhances the previous integration to eHealth, a network performance tool, as well as CA’s Unicenter Network and Systems Management product.
CA will charge for the new version in three maturity models (based on the level of management capability needed), starting at US$60,000 for a basic class, then US$250,000 for a standard class and US$570,000 for a premium class.
