Syncsort Extends OEM Relationship With BMC Software

Syncsort Inc. and BMC Software announced the extension of their long-standing OEM partnership.

Since 2000, Syncsort has enabled BMC to focus on its core competency while also delivering easy to deploy and extreme data performance solutions to customers.

BMC’s DB2 database utilities support and enhance the performance, availability, and recoverability of DB2 for z/OS databases and systems.

Using Syncsort technology, BMC is able to further enrich the efficiency of its solutions and provide its customers with rich DB2 solutions that minimize costly downtime, and assure the data needed for business-critical applications has integrity and is available to service the business.

BMC continues to focus on data management innovation and its relationship with Syncsort is another proof point of how the company provides the best products with superior infrastructure components for its solution offerings.

With Syncsort, BMC’s suite of DB2 database utilities uniquely enables its customers to manage increased data volumes and reduce CPU usage at the same time.

BMC selects its strategic technology partners based on a number of criteria. Syncsort technology was selected for its ease of use, extreme data performance and the company’s excellent partner practices.

“As a pioneer in business service management, BMC always seeks to lower the total cost of ownership for our customers while at the same time optimally delivering their business services,” said Jonathan Adams, Vice President of Research and Development, Mainframe Service Management at BMC Software. “Whether we are offloading workloads to specialty engines, reducing CPU, helping customers improve their SQL performance, or gaining yet another innovative patent, everything we do centers around reducing customer costs through technology innovation. Our relationship with Syncsort is another example of how we are optimizing the mainframe and helping our customers to increase the efficiency of their IT infrastructure.”

“The performance boost that Syncsort provides for BMC’s DB2 database utilities has proven extremely beneficial to our customers, especially when it comes to processing large data sets and greatly accelerating their time-to-value,” Adams added. “Syncsort’s renewed commitment to our business ensures that consumers will continue to profit as our industry and customer needs grow and evolve.”

“In extending our strategic alliance, BMC Software has recognized Syncsort as an industry leader and demonstrated that it values our rich history of delivering game-changing innovation and business value to customers," said Harvey Tessler, Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning and Product Management, Syncsort.
