  • AWS on Mimer in AWS

    Michael Spence, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, has published a very interesting blog post about running Mimer SQL in AWS.

    In this article he uses Mimer SQL to demonstrate how to migrate an Oracle Rdb database to Amazon Web Services (AWS), as well as application source code. Michael points out that customers with Oracle Rdb workloads in need for such a migration will find that Mimer SQL provides such a solution and goes on to explain how this is done and how easy that is.

    The key take-away is how easy it is to set up Mimer SQL on any platform (Linux, Windows, macOS, etc.) using AWS. Mr. Spence uses the binary compatibility of Mimer SQL to move a database from one instance in AWS to another, where they run on totally different operating systems but still are able to seamlessly and effortlessly use the same physical files.

  • OpenVMS Bootcamp

    VMS Software is hosting an OpenVMS Bootcamp on May 13 to 15. The Bootcamp is a recurring and very popular event for OpenVMS professionals from all over the world, and this time it is in Malmö, Sweden.

    Mimer is proud to announce that we have been awarded two sessions during these three flat filled days. The first session is presented by Bengt Gunne, Mimer CTO, on the topic “Mimer SQL on OpenVMS“, and the second is by Karl-König Königsson, Product Manager, on the topic “Migration from Oracle Rdb to Mimer SQL“.

    The first talk will focus on the capabilities of the Mimer SQL and how well integrated these are in the world of OpenVMS, and the second will focus on the unique features and possibilities in the latest version of Mimer SQL and how those provide a smooth transition from the aging technology of Oracle Rdb, tied to legacy hardware, to what is probably the most modern database in the world and into the future of OpenVMS.

    With these two presentations on the agenda, Mimer Information Technology cements the company’s decades long dedication to the OpenVMS platform and takes the steps into the future of OpenVMS on x86-64.
