Hitachi Asia launches new version of integrated

Singapore, 20th July, 2005 – Hitachi
Asia Ltd. (Hitachi) announced today an enhanced version
of its leading integrated systems management solution,
Job Management Partner 1 (JP1) Version 7i with PC security
compliance management, IT asset management, and job
scheduling definition functions.
Combining capabilities in job management, availability
management, desktop management and integrated management,
JP1 provides the ability to execute mission critical
business processes, monitor an entire system, and centralized
life cycle management of corporate IT resources.
The new product JP1/Client Security Control (JP1/CSC)
provides security compliance management functions for
client PCs through PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) cycle.
While the enhanced Desktop Management modules, JP1/Software
Distribution (JP1/SD), and JP1/Asset Information Manager
(JP1/AIM), improve client PC security through prevention
of unnecessary operations from end users and by monitoring
of end users’ operations. Adding to the enhancement
list, the comprehensive automatic job scheduling solution,
JP1/Automatic Job Management System 2 (JP1/AJS2), now
offers the ability to check job definition correctness
prior to actual operation so as to prevent any error.
Put together, this enhanced JP1 Version 7i provides
a complete and comprehensive solution for IT asset management
and security compliance management.
“Evidently, executives and IT managers in this
region, like their counterparts in the US, Europe and
Japan are facing problems with implementing corporate
compliance policies into their IT system environment
especially in the security aspect,” says Hideto
Hoshino, General Manager of the System Management Solution
Division at Hitachi Asia Ltd. “JP1/SD and JP1/AIM
can now centrally monitor client PCs to check installation
status of anti-virus software, unlicensed software,
and Windows patch modules. Then using JP1/CSC to automatically
cut off workstations from the network upon detecting
the highest level of pre-defined security breach. Such
tools are useful in reconstructing a company’s
internal compliance policies, bringing the security
health of business to a new level of high.”
