GoldenGate Announces Technology Partnership with Integrated Research to Deliver Comprehensive Data Synchronization and Data Management Solution for HP NonStop Customers

Driven by Customer Demand, Leaders in HP NonStop Data Synchronization and Real-Time Systems Management Join Forces

San Francisco, Calif. - October 13, 2003 - GoldenGate (www.goldengate.com), a leader in data synchronization, today announced a technology partnership with real-time systems management software developer Integrated Research (IR)(http://www.ir.com). GoldenGate and IR will develop integration points that complement the features of their respective products, with crossover benefits for existing users of GoldenGate's data synchronization product and IR's PROGNOSIS.

IR has been developing PROGNOSIS - an integrated suite of systems management tools - for the HP NonStop platform for over 15 years, and is today recognized as the market leader in real-time systems management solutions for NonStop. PROGNOSIS is installed at some of the world's largest companies in over 45 countries, and is sold through a distribution network in more than 60 countries worldwide.

"As with IR, the HP NonStop market is very important for GoldenGate and we similarly enjoy the largest market share in our solution areas," says GoldenGate's EVP of Engineering Tim Rathbun. "Our goal is to continue in a leadership position on the HP NonStop platform, so it made sense to find a mutually beneficial agreement with other NonStop leaders such as IR and PROGNOSIS."

The GoldenGate integration module for PROGNOSIS will be showcased at this year's ITUG (International Tandem Users Group) summit in San Jose, California taking place October 12-16, 2003. The partnership between GoldenGate and Integrated Research was driven by a request from a PROGNOSIS customer, a large European bank, who required access to the in-depth application metrics offered by GoldenGate direct from the PROGNOSIS GUI.

"There are many advantages to be gained by having our products talk to each other, since so many of our customers use GoldenGate software and vice versa," says IR president and CEO Steve Killelea. "GoldenGate customers will be able to use many of PROGNOSIS' advanced features, such as thresholds, real-time alerting, and drill-down root cause analysis, while PROGNOSIS users will have a consolidated and highly detailed view into their enterprise system data synchronization using GoldenGate's technology."
