NET INTEGRATION'S NITIX FOR APPLICATION SERVERS ACHIEVES 
"Ready for IBM DB2 Software for Linux" DESIGNATION

 

Autonomic Linux-based OS now available for IBM DB2 

 

MARKHAM, ONTARIO, Nov. 15, 2005 -  Net Integration Technologies Inc. (NITI),
a developer of autonomic Linux(r)-based server operating system software,
today announced that its Nitix Application Edition (AE) server software has
obtained the "Ready for IBM DB2 Software for Linux" designation.  Net
Integration's Nitix AE software offers users an operating system with
self-healing, self-maintaining and self-aware capabilities.  With IBM DB2
universal database on Nitix AE, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can
benefit from affordable autonomic features such as Linux reliability,
intelligent and quick installation, and automatic back up of application
program files and data.

 

Due to its autonomic capabilities, Nitix AE can eliminate many of the added
costs of having a Linux expert to oversee its operation.  The ability to
quickly deploy applications on DB2 systems that are automatically installed
and backed up can enable customers to focus on getting a system tailored to
their requirements as opposed to spending time on installation.  While
testing with a well-known accounting application, the installation time of
the server-based system with Nitix AE and IBM DB2 database was reduced to 20
minutes from three days. BM__ednref1[i]

 

"We are confident that the quick deployment capabilities of Nitix AE with
IBM DB2 will give developers and users the best database and autonomic OS
for today's growing enterprises," said Net Integration CEO Ozzy Papic. "We
are very excited to be working with IBM and look forward to seeing our
autonomic server software and IBM's autonomic hardware work to save
businesses money and enhance productivity for years to come."   

 

"Our customers are choosing to adopt Linux in their data centers because it
provides the scalability and performance they need," said Bernie Spang,
Director, IBM Information Management. "By meeting the requirements of 'The
Ready for DB2' program, Nitix Application Edition has proven that it can
provide businesses with greater flexibility, management and availability for
their DB2 environments."
