CONNX Solutions Partnership with Barnard Software Produces a
Rock-Solid Solution for VSAM-VSE Users
Redmond, Washington, December 8, 2004
CONNX
Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of high performance
simplified data access and integration software solutions,
announces its partnership with
Barnard Software, Inc., (BSI)
a software development company that develops, supports, and
markets software solutions worldwide for users of
IBM's VSE/ESA
operating system.
The goal
of the partnership is to provide the VSE users community
with best-in-class IT solutions. This is accomplished by
CONNX Solutions adding support for Barnard Software’s TCP/IP
stack to its flagship product CONNX. With the release of
CONNX version 9.0, the CONNX for VSAM-VSE module provides
support for the Barnard TCP/IP stack. The Barnard/CONNX
Solutions partnership enables users of VSE/ESA and the
Barnard TCP/IP stack to access enterprise data stored on any
of the many databases CONNX supports, regardless of where
that data resides. This will result in better and easier
integration of the VSE data with the rest of the IT
environment.
“This
will be a great solution for the VSE community because this
is an extremely low overhead, very high-performance
solution,” said John Andrews, V.P. of Sales and Marketing at
CONNX Solutions.
"Using
TCP/IP-TOOLS and CONNX for VSAM-VSE will give the VSE
customer a rock-solid solution,” said Teri Barnard, Director
of Sales at BSI.
