Rocket U2 Professional Services
Would you like to know what your application is really writing to disk?
Both UniData's Recoverable File System (RFS) and UniVerse's Transaction Logging (TL) build transaction logs that can be analyzed to determine what is really being written to your disk drives. Rocket U2 Professional Services is developing a technique to analyze the RFS & TL logs to determine what is actually happening on your data server. As always, if you can't see something happening, you can't fix it. During a recent Proof Of Concept (POC), Rocket found a significant application error for a customer that saved over 1 million writes during a monthly/quarterly process. Please email u2services@rs.com for more information.

June finally brought summer weather to Colorado, as well as a summer intern for U2 Support. We have two other new employees, one in Development and one in Product Management. So between the sunny days and the increase in energy brought by new people, things have been sizzlin' in our Denver office: We released two major product updates, SB/XA 6.1 and U2 DataVu 2.0, delivering new features and functionality requested by our customers. See below for further details or, better yet, order an evaluation copy of either product. I hope the summer weather is invigorating for you as well. Who needs those "lazy, hazy days..."?
