The Vanguard Group has chosen BMC Software for its DB2 data management needs. The initiative allows Vanguard streamline its data environment into a single repository with BMC Software’s Log Master for DB2.
Log Master for DB2 allows companies to automatically analyze and back out problem transactions using reports and historic SQL statements generated from the information in the native logs. Manual methods are too timely and costly, and point-in-time recovery means elongated down time and the potential loss of data. Log Master for DB2 is able to gather information from the DB2 log to ‘undo’ changes successfully, eliminating hours of manual work and preventing downtime. In addition to recovering specific transactions without affecting other data updates, it also audits database activity and generates reports to track the data changes.
“From the beginning Vanguard has maintained a sharp focus on serving its clients. Part of our success is ensuring the data which our shareholders rely on is always accurate and continuously available,” said Bob Yale, principal Technology Operations, The Vanguard Group. “BMC Software’s Log Master for DB2 has streamlined a number of rather intensive, time consuming tasks for our DBAs, freeing them up to work on more pressing issues.”
