e-Business Infrastructure and Middleware Solutions

With the advent of the Internet, a whole new layer of technology has emerged. It is not enough to provide applications and data just to those within the confines of a physical building. Corporations must now provide information on demand to remote employees, partners, vendors and customers. This creates a whole new challenge to IT professionals. How do you manage these external users? How do you aggregate and deliver the data? How do you secure the data? How do you assure that the right people gain access to the right data without compromising your internal assets?

Technologies such as Directory, Access Management, Provisioning, Portals, Application Servers and Web Servers are key to delivering data to the right audience at the right time in a secure and timely fashion. MOCA Group offers leading technologies from Sun and IBM to assure that our partners can deliver solutions to meet their customer's needs.

Access, store and analyze data from any source with IBM DB2 and Informix databases, data warehousing, mining and content management - industry-leading products built form the ground up to effectively leverage information on demand.

DB2 Universal Database (UDB) is an advanced, 64-bit Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). A member of IBM's leading edge family of DB2 products, DB2 UDB supports a broad range of applications and development environments at a lower cost of ownership than competitive products due to its unique autonomic computing (self-managing) features.

DB2 is uniquely suited to support many different development environments through adherence to existing and emerging open standards and continued investment protection of heritage programming interfaces. Whether users develop in traditional environments like RPG or COBOL, utilize Java/J2EE or Web Services through IBM's WebSphere suite of products, or develop using many of the other AD tools on the marketplace, DB2 can simplify the IT infrastructure.

As the world's leading business intelligence solutions provider, IBM enables companies to comb through vast quantities of data quickly, thoroughly and with sharp analytical precision. In fact, business intelligence has been cited as the premiere driver of DB2 sales. IBM solutions range from department- level datamarts - for specialized functions such as sales or financial analysis - to massive enterprise data warehouses that can scale into petabytes.

DB2 UDB publishes a broad spectrum of benchmark results to provide the information you need to make an informed decision. IBM is proud of the outstanding results we've achieved across virtually all the industry standard benchmarks. They cover a variety of hardware providers including IBM, HP, Sun, and others running on IBM, Linux, Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, and additional operating systems.
