Introduces Solutions to Manage and Optimize Performance of MQSeries.HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 1998--BMC Software, Inc., (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BMCS BMCS Bristol Muslim Cultural Society (UK) BMCS Senior Chief Boatswain's Mate (Naval Rating) BMCS Blue Mountains Conservation Society (Wentworth Falls, NSW, Australia) ) a leading developer of software solutions that improve the availability, performance and recoverability of business-critical applications, today introduced the MessageTools product family, a complete management solution for IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) (tm) MQSeries middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a . MessageTools simplify the management of MQSeries-based applications and help IT departments optimize MQSeries performance, especially in high message traffic situations. MessageTools mask the underlying complexities of MQSeries systems by offering solutions that automate key management functions. These management tools are especially critical as the amount and size of messages increase in enterprise applications supported by IBM middleware. BMC Software BMC Software, Inc. NYSE: BMC, is an American enterprise management software provider, focusing on IT infrastructure applications. BMC was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. is developing and providing MessageTools solutions to help customers in the following key areas: -0-
-- Application Monitoring and Management -- provides seamless and
filtered event-driven management of an enterprise-wide MQSeries
network;
-- Configuration and Message Management -- simplifies and
streamlines the process of creating and maintaining MQSeries
objects and delivers total message management;
-- Performance Optimization -- increases performance across the
MQSeries network by optimizing and compressing message traffic;
-- Backup and Recovery -- automates archival and retrieval of logs
and enables the restoration and recovery of MQSeries objects.
-0- "BMC Software used its expertise and experience in delivering mission -critical application and database management for mainframe and open systems environments to create enterprise-wide solutions for managing MQSeries middleware," said Doug MacKinnon, director of performance optimization & recovery for BMC Software. "We created MessageTools to provide a complete MQSeries management solution that simplifies the complex and labor-intensive processes used to implement and maintain MQSeries systems. MessageTools continues BMC's tradition of delivering solutions that enhance the performance of IBM products The following is a list of products from the International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations, beginning in the 1890s, and spanning punched card machinery, time clocks, and typewriters, via mainframe computers and minicomputers, to microprocessors, PCs, across the enterprise." To ensure a successful MQSeries installation, BMC Software will introduce three products in the MessageTools family, available in Q3 of calendar 1998: -0- --ServiceView for MQ will provide a seamless, filtered, event-driven solution for managing enterprise-wide MQSeries networks. The ServiceView for MQ product will seamlessly hide underlying operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. differences, provide priority filtering to enable users to see a graphical representation of selected objects and manage MQSeries events, rather than relying on polling mechanisms to see object status changes. --A Change Manager for MQ product which will provide a single point for centralized cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1. To draw into or toward a center; consolidate. 2. configuration management and operation administration. The Change Manager product will ease application implementation by automatically discovering all MQSeries objects and reducing the complexity in defining and deploying an MQSeries network. It also will enable users to visually configure, modify, and manipulate MQSeries applications to help administrators move to full-scale MQSeries production. --VirtualObjects for MQ will provide dynamic naming services Software that converts a name into a physical address on a network. It is similar to someone looking up a phone number in a telephone book by first and last name. Providing "logical" to "physical" conversion, a naming service can be thought of as a White Pages or Yellow Pages directory to help users define an application's message queues A storage space in memory or on disk that holds incoming transmissions until the computer can process them. See messaging middleware. . The VirtualObjects product also will provide a repository of queue location information for an MQSeries network of queue managers and reduce or eliminate the need for writing QREMOTE definitions.
