These are killer software features clearly targeted at companies that have to support over 5,000 Wintel desktops. EMC Extractor EMC Extractor provides users of Windows NT and Windows 2000 with direct, non-disruptive access to information residing on mainframe DB2 relational databases at speeds up to seven times faster than traditional access methods. Based on the industry-standard OLE DB interface, EMC Extractor requires minimal mainframe resources. *Once user authorization is provided by the mainframe, Windows NT and Windows 2000-based applications directly access data residing on the EMC Symmetrix Enterprise Storage system.* This process enables immediate DB2 information sharing to Windows NT and Windows 2000-based servers and workstations, thereby reducing network congestion and increasing performance - all without disrupting the DB2 database. Applications such as data warehousing, customer relationship management (CRM), and analytical computing benefit directly through access to more current and accurate business intelligence information. Additionally, EMC Extractor allows e-businesses to keep pace with fast moving web transaction and click-streaming requirements. EMC ResourcePak EMC ResourcePak for Windows offers productivity enhancing software components designed specifically for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 environments. Included within the ResourcePak are five key software tools for improving the availability, mobility, and manageability of mission critical Windows-based data: TimeFinder/SQL Server Integration Module, TimeFinder/Exchange Integration Module, TimeFinder Setup Wizard, Data Relocation Utility (DRU), and Symmetrix Integration Utilities (SIU). A critical piece of EMC ResourcePak for Windows is the TimeFinder/SQL Server Integration Module (TSIM). This offering tightly integrates and automates the features of EMC TimeFinder with SQL Server 2000. With TimeFinder, customers are able to generate, in background mode, multiple independent mirrored copies of active production volumes in mainframe or open system processing activities. TimeFinder accomplishes this task with no impact to the production host or production volumes. The mirrored volumes can then be used to run tasks that otherwise cannot be performed without seriously impacting production availability, such as parallel processing and data management and storage. With TSIM, TimeFinder functionality is extended to SQL Server 2000 customers, who can now use TSIM to do a full database backup with no impact to production or end users. TSIM also enables application testing, decision support, or the creation of a hot standby system. TSIM benefits enterprise productivity by significantly improved performance and management of information assets.....
