CA UNVEILS DATACOM RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT R12.CA (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 :CA), Islandia, N.Y., has unveiled CA Datacom(R) r12, a new version of its high-performance/high-availability relational database management system relational database management system - relational database that helps customers cost-effectively scale capacity and performance by exploiting IBM's System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) specialty processor. LogLogic, San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif., the log management leader, has The new version, which also takes advantage of CA's Mainframe 2.0 technology, brings to 14 the number of CA mainframe solutions that make optimum use of the zIIP specialty processor to support greater workloads without consuming additional general-purpose processing capacity. These solutions include CA IDMS See CA-IDMS and IDMSX. 1. (language, database) IDMS - A pictorial query language, an extension of Sequel2.

CA also helps customers more effectively utilize their zIIP processors by providing visibility into zIIP operations through management solutions such as CA SYSVIEW(R) Performance Management, CA MICS MICS Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey MICS Minimum Internal Control Standards MICS Mobile Information and Communication Systems (National Center of Competence in Research) MICS Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (R) Resource Management, and CA Insight Performance Monitor for DB2 for z/OS. CA is leading the industry by empowering customers to take advantage of the low-cost capacity provided by zIIP processors for core business workloads. "As a result of ongoing investments by CA and 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) , the mainframe has regained its position as the most compelling platform for the delivery of reliable, secure, high-performance IT services," said Mark Combs, senior vice president of CA's Mainframe Business Unit. "With its cost-saving use of zIIP capacity and its incorporation of Mainframe 2.0's ownership-easing functionality, CA Datacom r12 provides one more example of how CA is leading the mainframe software market and enhancing the overall value proposition of the IBM z/OS(R) platform." Both CA Datacom r12 and CA IDMS r17 allow customers to shift all types of production database workloads--including those generated by online transaction systems, batch processing (1) Performing a particular operation automatically on a group of files all at once rather than manually opening, editing and saving one file at a time. For example, graphics software that converts a selection of images from one format to another would be a batch processing utility. jobs and distributed platform requests--to zIIP specialty processors. CA's approach is in marked contrast to DBMS (DataBase Management System) Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a database. It accepts requests from the application and instructs the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. solutions from other vendors that either limit the types of workloads that can be offloaded from general purpose processors -- or that fail to utilize zIIP altogether. "CA Datacom's zIIP capability will enable us to reap greater returns on our existing mainframe infrastructure by giving us more capacity without more cost," said Phil Frankford, database administrator at SC Data Center, Inc. "The ability to add workloads to our existing mainframe infrastructure is especially attractive to us because of the centralized cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1.

CA Datacom r12 also includes many other performance and productivity features, including a Multi-Dataset Index for advanced index processing and new AutoScope Performance Metric Tools for improved performance monitoring and tuning. Mainframe 2.0 support CA Datacom r12 leverages key components of CA's Mainframe 2.0 initiative including CA Mainframe Software Manager, which automates CA Datacom product acquisition and installation and shields IT staff from underlying SMP/E complexities, and a Best Practices Guide that shortens the learning curve for IT staff by providing comprehensive information about CA Datacom installation, configuration, and deployment. Mainframe 2.0 is being rapidly rolled out across CA's entire mainframe solutions portfolio, so that customers can take full advantage of the mainframe's unique scalability, reliability, security, performance, and cost-efficiency -- and so that a new generation of IT professionals can successfully manage enterprise mainframe environments as the industry loses a growing number of more experienced mainframe managers to retirement. CA (NASDAQ:CA) is the world's leading independent IT management software company. With CA's Enterprise IT Management (EITM EITM Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models EITM Enterprise Information Technology Management EITM Elliot in the Morning (radio show) EITM Environmental Information Technology Management EITM Enterprise It Management ) vision and expertise, organizations can more effectively govern, manage and secure IT to optimize business performance and sustain competitive advantage.
