THE PARTNERSHIP: UNIFY AND IBM's DB2

The Partnership: Unify and IBM's DB2
As organizations increasingly utilize client/server environments to run their mission-critical applications, the need for an industrial strength database that runs on OS/2, AIX and other server platforms must be addressed. Directly linked is another critical business requirement: the need for advanced client/server application development tools. IBM's DB2 database delivers a solid history of performance and reliability. DB2's database integrity and recovery features truly earn it the designation "industrial strength." Unify VISION provides an advanced client/server application development environment for the development, deployment, and management of high-end scalable applications. As partners, Unify and IBM provide a powerful solution.

"VISION makes application development quick and easy with built-in connections to most major database servers." The Solution
Unify VISION provides a development environment for writing mission critical enterprise applications with built-in application control that can natively connect to all the leading industry relational databases. This now includes DB2.
