Embarcadero Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with Rocket Software, a provider of software solutions for a number of global OEM partners. Under the agreement, the two companies are enhancing DBArtisan, the database administration solution, with exclusive features to support IBM DB2 for OS/390.
This extension of support will enhance the tool`s functionality and features and allow users to improve database administration across the enterprise.
The partnership with Rocket provides the large number of IBM mainframe users with DBArtisan`s features that simplify management of database infrastructures, reducing the time and costs of managing multiple databases.
With Embarcadero`s strength in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB), DBArtisan is a comprehensive cross-platform solution for maintaining enterprise databases.
"This partnership will yield compelling advantages," comments Alan Raubenheimer, CEO of Embarcadero Africa. "Enterprise customers have long wanted DBArtisan to support DB2 on the mainframe. By collaborating with Rocket Software and leveraging its vast domain expertise in this area, Embarcadero will accelerate the delivery of support for DB2 on the mainframe.
"DBArtisan for OS/390 offers customers an attractive alternative for reducing the total cost of managing database infrastructure on mainframe platforms."
"In a company like Aetna, the database is key to providing our customers with the highest level of service, responsiveness and accuracy for their healthcare needs. Based on our needs, Embarcadero`s products were the best choice for us to ensure the quality of those databases," says Michael Mathias, director of database and Internet technologies at Aetna.
"Rocket Software`s experience as a developer creating technology and building software, with particular expertise in OS/390, makes our partnership with Embarcadero a natural fit to develop DBArtisan for the OS/390 mainframe," says Rocket Software CEO Andy Youniss.
DBArtisan is a database administration solution for managing Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2 Universal Databases. Its feature set helps database professionals maximise the availability, performance and security of databases throughout the enterprise. DBArtisan enables DBAs to manage multiple databases concurrently from a single graphical console, creating productivity gains for experienced and novice database professionals.
