IMS is IBM's Premier Transaction and Database Manager for critical online applications. And IMS 11 is easier than ever.

Virtually unsurpassed in database and transaction processing availability and speed, IMS 11, combined with SOA, enhances on-demand business enablement, growth and availability while protecting a company's investment and improving systems management.

IMS Transaction Management system provides technological leadership to communicate with the network; manages input/output processing and security; provides message queuing, formatting, logging and recovery; and ensures scheduling, execution, and checkpoint/restart of online and batch message and data processing programs.
IMS Database Management system organizes the data in different structures to optimize storage and retrieval, and ensure integrity and recovery.
Easier than ever, IMS 11 enhancements include integration and open access improvements to provide greater flexibility, manageability enhancements to optimize staff productivity, and 64-bit storage that delivers increased performance and availability.
Direct SQL access to IMS data from any distributed platform and easier connectivity through TCP/IP significantly simplifies (and in some cases eliminates) the data replication and change capture processes.
With Java support, IMS 11 helps you leverage a larger number of developers to build IMS applications.
Reduced complexity of creating database recovery points, reduced CPU time for online database reorganization processing, and easier capacity optimization all add up to easier operations.
IMS 11 is complemented by a growing portfolio of IBM IMS Tools which offers day one support for the new release. Recent announcements include IMS Cloning Tool V1.1 and new releases of IMS Audit Management Expert, IMS Connect Extensions, IMS Performance Analyzer, and Problem Investigator.
