Having recently embraced Unix with its mainframe-based relational database access tools, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois-based Platinum Technology Inc has turned to Tivoli Systems Inc to provide a distributed management system for its technology. Platinum will move its current tool set on to TME and base future tools on the Tivoli technology. The two will develop a multi-system console for managing a range of relational databases. In the first instance, Platinum will develop adaptors to forward information from its Detector and Datura SQL Spy mainframe and Unix database monitoring devices into the Tivoli/Enterprise Console. The two will team on joint sales and marketing.
