Availability, Performance and
Recovery of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
BMC Software’s ChangeDataMove Only Product to Seamlessly Deliver Legacy Data to
SQL Server 7.0
COMDEX - LAS VEGAS, NV - (November 16, 1998) Houston, TX-based BMC Software,
Inc., today announced several new products to ensure the seamless deployment and operation
of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. BMC Software’s solution support for Microsoft SQL Server
7.0 revolves around BMC Software’s Application
Service Assurance (ASA) strategy, which provides customers integrating SQL Server 7.0
databases into their enterprise, the confidence that their applications will benefit from
the availability, performance and recovery of SQL Server 7.0.
"As more enterprise customers plan to move their business-critical applications
onto SQL Server 7.0 databases, it is imperative that Microsoft customers have management
solutions to protect their investments," said Jim Ewel, director, SQL Server product
marketing at Microsoft Corporation. "We’re pleased that BMC Software will
provide our customers with enterprise-class management solutions that will ensure the
health of SQL Server 7.0 databases supporting applications critical to business
operations."
"BMC Software is in the business of ensuring that applications are available,
performing well, and in the case of an outage, can be recovered quickly and
efficiently," said Bob Kruger, vice president of Windows NT-based solutions for BMC
Software. "If users are unable to access the data they need to make critical business
decisions, productivity slows and business suffers. Our products uniquely deliver the
Application Service Assurance that SQL Server 7.0 customers require across databases as
well as their enterprise computing environments."
Most notably, BMC Software’s ChangeDataMove product will provide the only solution
that seamlessly delivers mainframe legacy data to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. ChangeDataMove
is a key product of BMC Software’s Enterprise Data Propagation (EDP) solution.
ChangeDataMove ensures optimal data availability by ensuring the quality, currency and
integrity of data for customers with very large databases, high transaction rates and 24x7
availability requirements. It is the only product on the market that will move transaction
data from IBM* IMS, VSAM and DB2* databases to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
Along with ChangeDataMove, several other products from BMC Software will support
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. The products include:
- PATROL Knowledge Module (KM) for Microsoft SQL Server
: provides 24x7 availability
requirements for SQL Server users by monitoring and managing the SQL Server environment
for early detection and correction. The PATROL KM for SQL Server will be available
simultaneously with the release of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
- PATROL DB-Change Manager for Microsoft SQL Server
