Attachmate Streamlines Organizational Decision-Making with DATABridge Version 6.0

Expanded Functionality Gives Enterprises Access to Mission-Critical Data to Improve Business Agility, While Conserving Host Resources

SEATTLE – January 12, 2009 – Attachmate Corporation today announced the availability of Attachmate® DATABridge™ version 6.0, the latest release of its comprehensive Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) solution for securely integrating Unisys MCP DMSII and non-DMSII data to a secondary system. DATABridge version 6.0 includes a new user interface, plus additional features and functionality to help organizations easily access and analyze mission-critical business information, in order to make informed decisions, while simultaneously conserving host resources.

With DATABridge version 6.0, production data can be easily integrated within a relational database such as Oracle® DB2, Microsoft® SQL Server or other DMSII database located on an entirely different Unisys host system.

“While most decision-making and business intelligence (BI) tools support relational databases, Attachmate DATABridge is the only out-of-the-box solution available that seamlessly integrates MCP host data within a relational database,” said Joe Joseph, president of Joe Joseph & Associates, Inc. and co-developer of DATABridge software. “We have looked at recent research, and the momentum to migrate mainframe applications to distributed systems has subsided. More specifically, organizations that use the DMSII platform to store mission-critical data will not likely migrate off the platform in the next five years, which makes DATABridge an ideal solution.”

“Accessing mission-critical information in real-time provides a huge competitive edge in today’s business environment,” said Barbara Ballard, product manager for Attachmate. “With DATABridge version 6.0, we continue to bring value to our Unisys customer base by providing solutions that help them cost-effectively integrate or even migrate legacy data into their existing enterprise architectures.”

ETL Technology for Improved Decision Support

Attachmate DATABridge version 6.0 fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures, giving enterprises the ability to gain powerful insight into the key performance indicators that drive their business. Key features and functionality of DATABridge version 6.0 include:

  • Remote Client Access
    The ability to run the DATABridge client as a service or a daemon allows database administrators to interact with the client remotely.

  • Enhanced Client Side Management Console
    Enhanced user-interface via the client-side management console enables users to perform traditional data management tasks more efficiently, and adds the ability to get statistics in real time.

  • Multi-threaded Client
    The multi-threaded client feature significantly increases efficiency in processing data queries.

DATABridge version 6.0 is available for purchase immediately. For more information on pricing, please contact sales@attachmate.com.
