BMC, a global leader in IT solutions
for the digital enterprise, today announced the BMC AMI DevOps for Db2
solution, which is designed to accelerate the delivery of new and updated
applications to the market. The solution easily integrates with the Jenkins
Pipeline suite of plug ins to provide an automated and efficient way of
receiving, evaluating, and implementing Db2 schema changes as part of an application update.
"Companies must create and update
applications faster than ever in order to compete in today's digital world," said Bill Miller,
President of ZSolutions at BMC. "BMC AMI DevOps for Db2 speeds up application
releases by intelligently automating Db2 schema changes. Using this solution,
our clients will become more agile, and they will run faster and deliver
applications more quickly and more effectively."
The BMC AMI DevOps for Db2
solution delivers the speed of deployment demanded by application development
teams, without abandoning the safeguards required to maintain stability and
availability on the Db2 database. This ensures that applications remain reliable
and available, even as the business gains agility. In addition, BMC AMI DevOps
for Db2 integrates with Jenkins, an application development orchestration tool,
to automatically research and determine database schema change requirements, to
streamline the review and approval process, and to safely implement the
database schema changes, making development and operations teams more efficient
and agile.
"Being integrated into the
development process with BMC AMI DevOps for Db2 enables us to all share in the
responsibility of moving changes toward production. We are working as a unified
team now, and it helps us react to market evolutions faster," said Steven
Goedertier, Database Administrator, Colruyt Group.
Automated mainframe
intelligence (AMI), which is policy driven, enforces database schema best
practices. It also helps mitigate the loss of expertise that results from a
retiring or inexperienced workforce, enabling organizations to become more
efficient in dealing with mainframe-related issues.
The BMC AMI DevOps for Db2 solution is the newest addition to BMC's AMI
offerings, which combines built-in domain expertise, machine learning,
intelligent automation, and predictive analytics to help enterprises
automatically manage, diagnose, heal, secure, and optimize mainframe
processes. BMC AMI for Security is
another AMI offering. It enables users to automatically monitor mainframe
systems and data to help detect and respond to security incidents.
