AES INTRODUCES ACTIONPOINT SYSTEM FOR GRID COMPUTING

Aladdin Enterprise Solutions (AES), an Aladdin Systems Holdings Inc. company and developer of enterprise software solutions, announced the availability of the AES ActionPoint System, a platform-independent policy-based computing environment designed to align business objectives with IT infrastructure and resources.

Using ActionPoint policies, an enterprise can transform its diverse computing environments into a single integrated, adaptive network with autonomic capabilities for enhanced security and self-management.

Currently, companies like Sun, IBM, HP, and Microsoft are investing in autonomic computing functionality within their own operating environments. Using Aladdin's ActionPoint System, firms can manage and control their multi- vendor environment as one integrated and manageable entity.

"Fortune 1000 companies have billions of dollars invested in internal computer systems, yet these systems are often unable to function well together because of differences in software and computers," said Tom Saleh, CEO, AES. "In today's economy, successful companies must maximize the use of current systems, successfully integrate them with legacy systems, and automate IT services to improve service and efficiency to their users and customers. AES provides that solution."

With Aladdin Enterprise Solutions, customers can continue utilizing the variety of computers and platforms already in place and make them run well together as one entity. The ActionPoint System runs any of these systems, or combinations of these systems, using autonomic policy-based decision making and management.

AES's ActionPoint brings system management costs in line and leverages the computing resources that exist throughout the organization, addressing the top two priorities of CIOs: reduce spending and increase shareholder return. Other advantages include: greatly improving performance, adaptability, change management, security, and disaster recovery -- all without making expensive architectural changes.

"With AES ActionPoint, management can satisfy computing requirements while meeting business goals and be assured that users will have the right resources available to them at the right time," said Tony Concolino, Executive VP at AES.
