Upgrade NOW to the newest release of Model 204!
The latest release of Model 204 is V7R1.0 for z/OS and z/VM operating systems. This new release reinforces the four main pillars that together reflect the major strengths of Model 204:
 |
Scalability |
|
Availability |
|
Flexibility |
|
Extensibility |
Scalability
V7R1 will give MP/204 customers the immediate benefit of scaling
up to 850 percent CPU utilization. You will be able to apply
the power of nearly 8,000 MIPS to a single Model 204 region
from an appropriately configured IBM System z processor.
Your Model 204 business systems will comfortably handle the increased
demand that unexpected changes in your business environment,
such as mergers and acquisitions, may bring.
And with V7R1, you can expect to enjoy CPU savings, giving you valuable
room for expansion of your applications without the need for
expensive hardware upgrades.
Availability
V7R1 will increase your ability to run your Model 204 applications
without interruption with more new features, including new
file structures that will eliminate or defer situations that
currently require file reorganization.
Flexibility
As always, the new release will see features that enhance
User Language and make life even easier for your database
administrators and application developers. For example, have
you ever wanted to build a feature right into your application
that communicates directly with your customers or suppliers?
The new $SNDMAIL function can take care of that for you.
Extensibility
For those of you interested in extended database connectivity
options, this release also brings you exciting news. Provide
a new way of accessing your Model 204 data with our newest
addition to the Connect✭ suite of products,
Connect✭ for .NET. This newest driver includes
a full set of common base classes to allow you to integrate
Model 204 applications with the Microsoft .NET Framework environment.
The V7R1 Connect✭ Suite also includes Connect✭
for JDBC allowing access to Model 204 from any Java Enterprise
Edition (JEE) application or framework.
