CONNX Solutions Enters Into Strategic Partnership With Byte Designs; CONNX Now Offers Support for Byte Designs' DISAM Database

Posted on: Tuesday, 6 July 2004, 06:00 CDT

REDMOND, Wash., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CONNX Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of simplified data access, management, and integration software solutions, today announces a strategic partnership with Byte Designs, the ISAM experts and creators of DISAM/DISAM96, a C-ISAM (Informix)-compatible file handler.

"This is a real coup for CONNX," says Shirley McKinney, Director of Business Development at CONNX. "It enables developers and ends users around the world to get to their data. They will be able to access DISAM using all open-data access standards, including .NET, JDBC, OLE DB, and ODBC. A new market is now able to open up all their data, which before was an impossibility."

The partnership with Byte Designs has already yielded a new CONNX database module, CONNX for DISAM. This new module guarantees all DISAM database owners and developers quick and easy SQL access to their existing structures, and simplified integration of that data with the data available in any one of the more than 30 relational and non-relational databases CONNX already supports.

CONNX chose Byte Designs as a partner out of consideration for DISAM users who want to access data stored in other databases across the enterprise. By using the new CONNX database module, DISAM users can also migrate information to a Microsoft platform or open-source Linux/Unix platforms previously unsupported, use 64-bit file offsets to overcome file size limits, acquire thread-safe support for multi-threaded applications, easily access ISAM data on a Microsoft or Linux/Unix server, get timely and responsive technical support, and further prepare for the 64-bit future -- through a single connection.

About CONNX Solutions

CONNX provides businesses secure read/write, real-time access to all enterprise data from any platform as if all the data existed in one relational database. This technology has been referred to as a "federated database", or a "virtual database". All data is then accessible using standard ANSI SQL and any standards-based application. CONNX acts as a reusable data access framework for projects throughout the enterprise. CONNX supports Adabas (currently OS/390, z/OS, and Windows platforms); Microsoft SQL Server (on all platforms); Sybase (on all platforms); Informix (on all platforms); C-ISAM, DISAM, and Micro Focus (on Linux, AIX, Sun, Solaris, and SCO operating systems); IBM VSAM (on z/OS, OS/390, MVS, and VSE); IBM DB2 (on all platforms); Oracle (on all platforms); RMS, Rdb, and Codasyl DBMS (on OpenVMS and VMS platforms); PostGreSQL (on all platforms); Dataflex; POWERflex; and any OLE DB, ODBC, or JDBC data source.
