> "Digital's AllConnect Program provides large organizations with a real

> Slootman, general manager of the UNIFACE product line at Compuware.
> "It was critical that we supported all of the major Digital platforms

> VMS, we have now succeeded in doing this. Digital users can now run
> the same application seamlessly across a variety of Digital
> architectures, and mix and match according to the requirements of
> their applications. This support for transparent migration across
> Digital platforms is unrivaled today."
>
> Compuware supports Digital's AllConnect Program by developing,
> deploying and delivering applications on the customer's choice of
> operating systems. This allows Digital customers to continue to rely
> on the traditional strengths of Open VMS, while exploring and
> exploiting the powerful new technologies available with Windows NT and
> Digital UNIX running on the 64-bit Alpha platform. As a result of this
> relationship, UNIFACE is now shipping on Digital's 64-bit AlphaServer
> family and Digital customers can now seamlessly and effortlessly
> migrate from one platform to another where required, or integrate
> Windows NT and legacy applications.
>
> "UNIFACE's support of Digital's 64-bit AlphaServer family, running
> either Digital UNIX, Open VMS or Windows NT, and its ability to allow
> customers to move easily from one platform to another or integrate
> Windows NT with current systems is a powerful story for our
> customers," said Herb Shumway, vice president of Digital's Software
> Partners Group. "The UNIFACE in 3D Strategic Framework will enable our
> customers to build either two or three-tier strategic client/server
> applications."

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., April 21 /PRNewswire/ via Individual Inc. --

relationship designed to enable large organizations to effectively manage
their strategic applications using Compuware's EcoTOOLS and Digital's
platforms in a three-tier architecture. Through this relationship, EcoTOOLS
extends its cross-platform support to the Digital UNIX, Windows NT, and
Open VMS environments, supporting Digital's AllConnect Strategy.
EcoTOOLS Provides Quality Performance Monitoring
Compuware's EcoTOOLS focuses on quality, in-depth monitoring of
applications and their performance in the production environment. EcoTOOLS
consists of a centrally located management station and independent agents
that simultaneously monitor the operating system, database, and network
components of applications. By correlating all gathered information,
EcoTOOLS enables users to detect problems or potential problems, manually
or automatically initiate corrective actions and maintain networked
application availability.
The AllConnect Program Bridges UNIX and Windows NT
Digital's AllConnect Program for UNIX provides the key elements required to
bridge UNIX and Windows NT environments, including strong links with
Microsoft, a commitment to Windows NT, UNIX leadership, applications across
UNIX and Windows NT, middleware, service and support. For customers who
wish to standardize on Windows NT across the enterprise, the AllConnect
Program for Digital UNIX enables not only the coexistence of UNIX and
Windows NT, but also migration to Windows NT. Furthermore, migration from
any vendor's UNIX to Windows NT on Digital platforms is supported.
EcoTOOLS effectively helps manage systems by monitoring applications that
operate in a three-tier environment consisting of PC clients, Alpha or
Intel NT application servers, and UNIX database servers.
EcoTOOLS and AlphaServer Internet Search
EcoTOOLS is now included with the Digital AlphaServer for Internet Search
solution for locating information on corporate intranets. EcoTOOLS ensures
that all critical components of intranets are healthy and available, and
