FWIW, a little while ago, a CA tech person was onsite for two days with the operators here (unbeknownst to me, like the TSM admin should know, anyway...) checking out our operation and set up.
Guess what-- he ended up calling the sales rep that was coming, to tell him not to bother with the sales pitch for Brightstor, it wouldn't do anything for us. The only thing storage wise they ended up pitching was a Storage Area Network manager product-- but the gotcha there was that it was how the product was "supposed" to work-- it wasn't actually shrink-wrapped at this point in time;-) "Mr. Lindsay Morris" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <lmorris@server cc: graph.com> Subject: Re: Computer Associates - Brightstore Resource Manager for Sent by: "ADSM: TSM Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ST.EDU> 10/29/2002 12:35 PM Please respond to lmorris CA seems to buy tools / companies and market them like crazy, but not put any energy into improving or supporting them. I'd be interested in hearing your take on what features this product has, and what it costs. --------------------------------- Mr. Lindsay Morris Lead Architect, Servergraph www.servergraph.com 859-253-8000 ofc 425-988-8478 fax > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@;VM.MARIST.EDU]On Behalf Of > Jim Taylor > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 1:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Computer Associates - Brightstore Resource Manager for TSM > > > Anyone out there heard of this CA product and have any experience with it. > We have just been bought out by a large company that has bought into CA > tools, big time.
