Unicenter TNG: Network views with added dimension
CA Unicenter TNG's global view Computer Associates International calls its overhauled Unicenter package "The Next Generation" -- and its 3-D interface certainly looks like something out of "Star Trek."

But beneath the cityscapes and rotating globe is a comprehensive -- and complex -- network management package.
