Dear BMC Customer,

For those of you unfamiliar with DBI, let me take a moment to introduce our company and the extremely seasoned group of professionals I have the pleasure to work with each day.

Database-Brothers, Inc. is a highly specialized company focused exclusively on database performance and auditing. We have deep knowledge and understanding of the database market, and collectively offer more than 80 years of in-depth DB2 UDB and Oracle experience.

We have a long history with BMC Software and clearly understand their customer’s needs. In addition to working behind the scenes to support BMC "SmartDBA Database Performance for DB2 Universal Database" and "DBXray for DB2 Universal Database" customers over the past year and a half, we are fortunate to have a number of former BMC employees on our team. This provides us with unique insight into the aforementioned BMC product solutions. We have taken the knowledge we’ve gained over the years to create two upgrade offerings for current BMC customers who have licensed these products.

DBI is working closely with BMC to ensure the migration process is a positive experience for customers. For example, upgrade solutions Brother-Eagle and Brother-Panther will retain the rich analytics associated with "SmartDBA Database Performance for DB2 Universal Database" and a familiar user interface. We also have added many improvements which include simplified installation and configuration, improved multi-partition analysis, autonomic monitoring, comprehensive history, and trend reporting with correlated change events. See the right column for additional solution highlights, or click a product logo for more details.

In addition, DBI’s Maintenance Price Protection means that the price paid for maintenance today will be the same price paid three or five years from now. It’s our way of thanking our loyal customers.

In conclusion, database performance and auditing is our business. We are committed to this space and to the customers we serve. You can be assured we will be here for the long haul.

Sincerely,

Scott Hayes
President & CEO, DBI
