NEW BRIGHTON, Minn.

AlebraTechnologies Inc., (www.alebra.com) the leader in managed high-speed cross-platform data movement and remote data access, today announced the availability of Parallel Data Mover (PDM) Release 6, effective immediately.

“As data continues to grow exponentially, companies need the right data, at the right place, and the right time,” said Tom Lehn, chief executive officer. “Data intensive projects that were once impossible or impractical are now both possible and extremely economical.”

With PDM 6, companies will be able to:

Move terabytes of data within minutes
Provide more frequent updates to data warehouses (even during the business day)
Track and manage all movement of data within the enterprise
Provide more meaningful analytics through inclusion of more historical data
Modernize applications without having to move your data
Utilize PDM’s rich functionality to consolidate all existing data movement products

PDM Release 6 builds upon the superior manageability, speed and efficiency of earlier releases of Parallel Data Mover. Combined with Alebra’s proprietary z/OpenGate transport, Alebra’s newest PDM release out-performs all other data movement solutions, enabling the transfer of large amounts of data faster than users had ever imagined possible.

“Independent tests have verified users can expect a 90% reduction in CPU cycles while experiencing significantly improved throughput compared to other data movers,” Lehn said.

In addition to vastly superior transport speeds, PDM 6 offers a number of significant advantages. These include fully managed file transfer, transaction queuing, monitoring and logging as well as status and performance reporting from any node in the network. Other features of PDM 6 include “parallelism,” which is the ability to accommodate hundreds of concurrent file transfers per system, the support of all storage devices attachable to the operating systems regardless of type (Disk, Tape, Virtual Tape, etc.) or brand (EMC, IBM and Hitachi) and enhanced downstream support.

“We’re excited to announce this new PDM release. It signifies a new level of excellence and performance in Alebra’s product suite,” Lehn said. “I’m very proud of our entire team of engineers and developers.”
