Systems Center, Inc. was a mainframe and enterprise systems-management software vendor best known for the NetMaster network-management product line. The company was acquired by Sterling Software of Dallas in a 1993 deal (approximately $185M), after which NetMaster was folded into Sterling's data-communications portfolio and rebranded (Connect:Direct lineage); Sterling Software was itself acquired by Computer Associates in 2000. Systems Center was surfaced as a portfolio company of Battery Ventures and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub. An enrichment pass (2026-07-21) searched for any live website, developer portal, or API surface and found none: the company is defunct with no independent public presence, so no API artifacts apply.
