Sun and COMPAREX strengthen co-operation
 
 

COMPAREX Informationssysteme GmbH and Sun Microsystems are strengthening their cooperation. COMPAREX with its Migration Services will receive the Sun certification "Preferred Mainframe Migration Partner". This underscores the significance which Sun attaches to the cooperation with COMPAREX and the latter's considerable experience as a data centre provider.




Mannheim, Germany, 03/2001

Customers will benefit in particular from the extended range of possibilities offered by its IT infrastructure. Migration of existing applications will mean they can be run far more cost-effectively on Sun servers with Solaris. It is also possible to use a large number of cutting-edge applications - customers can run standard software such as ERP or CRM, can use new technologies in UNIX and Java, and can therefore add productivity to business processes throughout the enterprise.

When migrating legacy systems to state-of-the-art platforms in data centre environments, the choice of partner is crucial. With its vast experience in data centre business and many years of trust built up with its existing customer base, COMPAREX is the ideal partner for this work - a fact which applies for customers and Sun alike. COMPAREX has extensive experience of applications and databases and of both legacy (e.g. S/390) and open system environments. It also has a detailed knowledge of migration tools - knowledge and experience that are essential for every successful migration.

Customers today expect their integration partner to implement the entire IT platform and to guarantee that their specific needs will be met in every regard. The company has developed a comprehensive integration framework in the form of the COMPAREX Portal Architecture (CPA). A key component of the CPA is the COMPAREX Migration Services (CMS), which provide users with a complete solution from a single source. CMS comprises migration, Sun Solaris servers, storage and the networks and connections to them in the form of the SAN - Storage Area Network. A large, well trained team of system engineers from the Professional Services and Customer Services sections is on hand to perform the migration services.
