MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
VERITAS Software Corporation (Nasdaq: VRTS), the leading storage software
company, announced today the availability of VERITAS Database Edition(TM) for
DB2 for the first time on the IBM AIX platform. VERITAS Database Edition for
DB2 integrates core volume management and file system technologies
specifically optimized to make DB2 databases perform up to two times faster,
more highly available and easier to manage. Using VERITAS Database Edition for
DB2 helps database administrators to meet demanding service-level expectations
while reducing the cost and effort of managing growing amounts of data. The
product joins an extensive suite of VERITAS storage software for the IBM AIX
platform.
"As DB2 gains ground in the distributed database market, it is
increasingly used in mission-critical environments with high service-level
requirements," said Carl Olofson, program director, IDC. "DB2 customers have a
growing need for simplified, optimized storage and around-the-clock
availability solutions such as those provided by VERITAS Software."
VERITAS Database Edition for DB2 offers raw partition performance and data
integrity for databases stored in file systems, freeing administrators from
the difficulties of managing raw partition databases. Using the product's
cached VERITAS Quick I/O(TM) feature, DB2 performance is up to two times
faster than the same database stored on a standard UNIX file system, and is
comparable to or faster than raw partition database performance.
