(InfoWorld) - The latest version of CA's Spectrum network management software, released Monday, can factor in human errors when gauging the health of a network. Spectrum Network Fault Manager r8.1 can compare settings on network devices, such as routers and switches, to ones set by a network administrator. If something has been configured differently, the software can tell and will notify a manager. In addition, it will take that nonstandard setting into consideration if it sees a problem in how the network is running, said Jerome Simms, a director of product management at CA. TheÂ company has built this "change awareness" capability into the fault analysis software, whereas other network management systems make enterprises use two different tools, Simms said. Combining the two means faster repairs to the network, he said. CA acquired the Spectrum software by buying Concord Communications in 2005. The latest version of Spectrum is an exercise in integration with two other software tools now working more closely with the product as well as the addition of change awareness. Wily Introscope, which CA acquired by buying privately held Wily Technology last year, is performance management software for Web-based applications. CA eHealth for Voice, which the company also got through the Concord acquisition, helps to manage call quality on converged voice and data networks. The company previously integrated the main eHealth performance management application, Simms said. This is the second major release of Spectrum since CA bought the product. Also on Monday, CA changed the way it prices Spectrum. Now there are three Spectrum packages, called Foundation Suite, Standard Suite, and Premium Suite. The Foundation Suite includes basic tools, such as root cause analysis, device management, and alarm notification. The Standard Suite includes the newly integrated features introduced Monday and other capabilities. The Premium Suite includes such components as reporting and service level management that are optional with the other configurations, Simms said. The foundation suite starts at $60,000 for software for one server. The standard suite starts at $250,000, and the premium suite starts at $570,000.

Cognos on Tuesday unveiled the third release of its Cognos 8 BI tools, which have been updated to provide more targeted performance management information to a broader set of users.Cognos, whose shareholders voted Monday to approve IBM&#39;s proposal to buy the Ottawa-based BI vendor for US$5 billion, said that Cognos 8 v3 includes new features that can help enterprise and mid-sized companies analyze transactional data from ERP systems to help front-line workers and executive make better decisions.The updated software includes a self-service reporting interface to help finance and business analysts better access financial and operational data sources and create financial statement-style reports.For business groups, the updated tool set now allows users to create and manage their own perspectives of performance information by creating new OLAP cubes with consistent information from company-wide enterprise BI tools, Cognos said. Business analysts, for example, can now build smaller, faster data sets of very specific business performance information for more targeted exploration.A new Cognos BI portal-based dashboard lets business users and executives access all of the strategic management and scorecard information of their company in one view, the company added.Finally, the software includes a feature called Briefing Books, which allows IT administrators to more easily respond to requests from senior management for a comprehensive view of performance information. Cognos said Briefing Books provides a way for executives to easily navigate multi-page reports with business data.Other new features for administrators include:-- Support services to help reduce the time required to build data models;-- Tools to create a snapshot view of system health to give administrators a single, consolidated view of the status of an entire system; and-- The ability to view multiple system metrics and set thresholds to monitor them.&quot;The broad system management advances we&#39;ve tested in Cognos&#39; enterprise platform help us speed development and overall productivity to achieve and exceed service commitments,&quot; said Thomas Haag, project manage of data warehousing and business intelligence at Lufthansa, in a statement. &quot;The administrative enhancements let our operations team proactively monitor the overall system health in real time, easing repetitive questions and speeding decisions, on peak usage days in particular.&quot;Cognos 8 v3 is now available.Computerworld is an InfoWorld affiliate.
