7-11-2000 AUSTIN, Texas (July 11, 2000) -- ClearCube Technology today announced an alliance with TriActive Inc., which tailors Tivoli® Enterprise Management solutions for mid-sized IT departments. The alliance expands the benefits of ClearCube C3, a managed PC architecture that delivers Intel-based PC processing to hundreds of workstations from a centralized, rack-mounted environment. ClearCube C3 customers can opt to implement TriActive’s Internet-based systems management software solution using an affordable monthly pay-as-you-go fee structure. TriActive tailors enterprise management solutions from Tivoli Systems Inc. into optimized practices for IT departments supporting 200 to 5,000 devices. The TriActive solution combines help desk, IT inventory management, remote management and virus management with custom-view portals optimized for different types of users. By automating routine systems management processes, TriActive Systems Manager frees up the customer’s IT organization to focus on strategic projects without having to worry about basic systems management issues. The TriActive solution reduces implementation time from months to days. “This alliance combines two powerful technologies: ClearCube’s unique managed PC hardware and TriActive’s Internet-based software for systems management,” said Glyn Meek, president and chief executive officer of TriActive. “Our service provides ClearCube customers access to enterprise-level systems management without requiring in-house implementation and ongoing staff support. The customer gains easy access to critical systems management functions such as remote monitoring, help desk, user administration, and asset inventory.” “We believe our customers will value TriActive’s software solution for the same key reasons they value ClearCube C3 as a hardware solution,” said Mike Frost, president and chief executive officer of ClearCube Technology. “Both companies have the same goal: to help our customers better manage their PCs.” “Leading companies around the world are using Tivoli software to reduce the cost and complexity of managing networks, systems, databases and applications,” said Robert Davis, vice president and general manager, Tivoli Service Provider Business Unit. “This alliance is a superb example of how Tivoli’s solutions can scale to suit the needs of middle-tier companies.” About TriActive
