CA simplifies IMS management with solutions

CA today extended its leadership position in the mainframe management market by delivering its latest solutions for IMS that address customers' evolving performance, protection and staff productivity requirements while supporting IMS v10, the latest version of IBM's popular mainframe database environment.

CA File Master Plus for IMS, a new product, provides a complete set of powerful and easy-to-use tools for managing IMS data. CA Database Management for IMS r11.6 enables database administrators to better optimise performance, streamline essential administration tasks, and ensure reliable backup and recovery of critical IMS data.

"IMS is a strategic platform for many CA Global 2000 customers - which include many of the world's largest banking, healthcare, insurance, and telecommunications companies," said David Schipper, vice-president of product management for CA.

"By enabling these customers to more effectively manage their IMS environments, CA's newest mainframe management solutions allow them to improve service delivery, reduce costs, and improve their responsiveness to the incessantly escalating demands of the business."
