Halcyon Delivers Japanese Version of Management Tools

November 6, 2012 Alex Woodie

IBM i systems management tool vendor Halcyon Software last month announced that its software is now available in the Japanese language. The U.K. firm says its complete line of products are now available in Japan, the second largest IBM i market in the world, after the United States.

Halcyon says it did the development work of modifying its software to support double byte character sets (DBCS), while its Japanese partner SOLPAC, a Tokyo-based software and consulting firm that caters to the IBM midrange market, did the translation work.

SOLPAC will sell Halcyon products in Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. “Halcyon has made a significant investment in developing a totally new DBCS-based systems management software solution to meet the needs of Japanese companies operating throughout the Asia Pacific region,” stated Halcyon managing director Lorraine Cousins in a press release.

Halcyon says its complete product lineup has been DBCS enabled. Its complete product lineup consists of: Advanced Job Scheduler, Audit Journal Manager, Authority Swapper, Disk Space Manager, Document Management System, HA-MX (MIMIX) Monitor, Message Communicator, Message Manager, Performance Analyzer, Record and Playback, Restricted Tasks Manager, Skyview Policy Minder, Skyview Risk Assessor, Snapshot TSC, and Spooled File Manager.

Halcyon and SOLPAC will be demonstrating the Japanese version of the management tools–which the vendors say are the first IBM i products to support simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps in Japan–tomorrow at the IBM Intermediate System User Conference (iSUC) 2012 in Sendai.

Strategic Partnerships Add Value

A Case for On-Prem IBM i Deployment

As organizations decide where to run their IBM i workloads with a growing range of strategies, it becomes more important to have strong differentiators in the various options to help make prudent IT decisions. Cloud options are now becoming more widely considered, but as UCG Technologies explains in a recent IT Jungle article, these options should be weighed in comparison to purchasing or leasing your own IBM Power Server and installing it on premises or at a Co-location facility.

On premise (on-prem) deployments largely remain most cost-effective and appropriate for midrange systems, especially when factoring in backup and disaster recovery. One way to maximize this approach is to capitalize on long-standing partnerships with complimentary expertise as in the case with IBM and UCG Technologies. The IBM i Solution Edition for UCG’s VAULT400 cloud backup & DRaaS is an offering that allows organizations the ability to combine the power of IBM Power Systems and IBM i with the strengths of business applications, along with superior services and support. The leads to improved productivity and responsiveness, adaptability and competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Benefits to the end user include:

Discounted single or unlimited user entitlements – Save $6,000 to $60,000
No-charge IBM i processor core entitlements
No-charge IBM i access unlimited user entitlements
Discounted Rational Developer for i
No-charge service vouchers – 4 hours or 8 hours – Value of up to $ 1,800

To receive the above benefits, end user client must meet IBM requirements including contracting for a minimum of $6,000 of VAULT400 cloud backup services for P05 or $25,000 for P10 with UCG Technologies. The IBM i Solution Edition may be purchased directly from UCG Technologies or from another qualified – authorized IBM partner.

The IBM i Solution Edition for VAULT400 cloud backup & DRaaS is available for both the IBM Power System S914 and S924. Leverage a platform that utilizes the full power of IBM i while deploying a complete backup and disaster recovery solution that delivers rapid ROI. That is an on-prem win-win for mid-market organizations.
