Will this "new pricing model" affect any existing customer's NetView
versions? That is, I assume we are not going to need any special key to
upgrade any existing NetView 5.1.1 version, for example, to 6.0 if we have
over XXXX number of managed devices???? From the brief description below,
it does not really indicate what the break points (i.e., the number of
managed devices) are for this new pricing model and if this would affect the
upgrading of existing customer's copies of NetView? I would think not, but
it is good to verify.

Subject: Now Available: Tivoli NetView 6.0
(Embedded image moved to file: pic14472.pcx)
Announcement Overview
Tivoli NetView 6.0 is now generally available. With this release we have
added new features/functionality to Tivoli NetView, our award-winning
distributed network management product. Additionally, we have
implemented
new pricing that allows Tivoli internal sales and channel partners to
create and capture value based on the complexity of the solution. Also,
Tivoli NetView 6.0 National Language Support (NLS) will be available in
early Q2 supporting Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
Value To The Field
· New Pricing Model
With the new pricing model, Tivoli NetView 6.0 is a more worthwhile
investment of time and energy for our direct sales and channel
partners.
The new pricing model is based upon the number of switches and/or
routers in a customer network. Because this model scales, the
greater
the complexity of a network, the greater the revenue.
· Entry into New Accounts
Because Tivoli NetView 6.0 is a stand-alone product that provides a
quick return on investment through easy installation and deployment,
it
is a great basis for entry into new accounts. The strong integration
with other Tivoli products provides an opportunity for add-on sales.
· New Features/Functionality
Tivoli NetView 6.0 has a set of new features and functionality that
improve its appeal as an integrated solution. Some of the highlights
include the ability to manage a network the way the business views
its
environment (location sensitive topology). Also, a New Java Client
affords network managers the flexibility to view the network from any
browser. These features enhance the core functions of Tivoli NetView,
which enable users to:
Discover TCP/IP networks
Build collections (SmartSets) of critical business systems for
data
collection and policy management
Display network topologies; correlate, manage, and
filter/suppress
events and SNMP traps
Monitor network device health and availability
Strategic Importance
Tivoli NetView 6.0 will fortify Tivoli?s Network Management solutions
offering and provide a strong platform to secure our ownership of the
network management arena. Enterprises and Service Providers alike are
realizing the strategic importance of network management in today?s
computing environments. When talking with customers, emphasis should be
placed on the need for a comprehensive, scalable solution that will help
reduce costs while maintaining the flexibility necessary for rapid
expansion of the infrastructure.
