DataMirror Announces New Version of Transformation Server for z/OS

DataMirror® (TSX: DMC), a leading provider of real-time data integration and data protection solutions, today unveiled a new version of Transformation Server for z/OS. With this latest version, Transformation Server improves support for companies integrating data in mainframe environments by extending support to DB2 Version 9.1 running on IBM's z/OS. Using unique log-based Change Data Capture (CDC) technology, data is captured continuously from the DB2 database logs running on the mainframe as business occurs, without impacting performance, and is distributed to other disparate systems in real time. This enables up-to-the-minute mainframe data to be available to other applications for improved customer service and faster business intelligence.

Highlights:

- Support for IBM DB2 Version 9.1 for z/OS - Companies are able to take advantage of the new database version's SOA enablement features, scalability enhancements, and query response time improvements, extending it throughout the organization by driving real-time synchronization of data across all production systems without compromising mainframe performance

- Conflict Detection and Resolution - Transformation Server integrates data bi-directionally between two live systems, including mainframes, synchronizing data across critical applications, thus provides easy configuration to resolve scenarios where multiple systems are changing the same data simultaneously

- Enhanced Monitoring Capabilities - This new version of Transformation Server provides detailed throughput and latency statistics as well as CPU utilization so users have full knowledge and control over the data integration processes running throughout their organization

"DataMirror is committed to our customers running on the z/OS platform and will continually work with them to streamline their business processes with real-time data," said Stewart Ritchie, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, DataMirror. "With the new features added to Transformation Server for z/OS, our customers will have total control over their businesses and a much faster response time to mission-critical business opportunities."
