Embarcadero Technologies Extends DBArtisan Support For OS/390 Mainframe
Partnership With Leading OS/390 Software Development Firm
Demonstrates Embarcadero’s Commitment to the Enterprise
This partnership with Rocket signifies Embarcadero’s commitment to providing the growing number of IBM users on the mainframe with DBArtisan’s innovative, user-friendly features that simplify management of database infrastructures, significantly reducing the time and costs of managing multiple databases. With Embarcadero’s existing strength in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB), DBArtisan is the most complete cross-platform solution for maintaining enterprise databases.
"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 Technologies’ products were the best choice for us to ensure the quality of those databases," said Michael Mathias, director of database and Internet technologies at Aetna. "As a long-time customer of Embarcadero Technologies, we look forward to their extending OS/390 support which we feel will further enhance the value of Embarcadero’s software to our enterprise."
"This partnership will yield compelling advantages to our customers," said Stephen Wong, chief executive officer, Embarcadero Technologies. "For years, our enterprise customers have asked us to extend DBArtisan to support DB2 on the mainframe. By collaborating with Rocket Software and leveraging their vast domain expertise in this area, we will accelerate the delivery of deeper support for DB2 on the mainframe. DBArtisan for OS/390 will offer customers an attractive alternative for reducing the total cost of managing database infrastructure on mainframe platforms."
"Rocket Software’s experience as a leading 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," said Andy Youniss, chief executive officer, Rocket Software. "By leveraging our combined experience and technology for the next-generation of DBArtisan, Rocket Software and Embarcadero will create a unique product to efficiently manage database infrastructure, relieving strain on the enterprise database administrators."
