IBM Inventory Management

The VALOGIX® Inventory Planner Enterprise Edition V8 is a Java based/multi-tier architecture designed for ease of use and delivery of rich content using the IBM platform. It is browser-based allowing you to open Valogix with your regular Internet web browser so you can plan anytime and anyplace.

Valogix is both a Premier Business Partner with IBM and an OEM Partner. Valogix incorporates leading edge technology from IBM to enhance and optimize performance.

For Enterprise level planning and data management, Valogix prefers DB2. Information management software is at the core of enterprise computing. Companies need access to a wide range of information such as XML, message queues, documents, streaming video, and other rich media types. The On Demand evolution makes continuous availability a necessity and is driving the convergence of transaction, business intelligence, business performance management, and content management applications as companies integrate their business operations and processes thereby transforming their operations to the On Demand paradigm. DB2 automates many tasks, freeing database administrators from having to perform the routine tasks that are required with other databases.DB2 deep compression means that you need less storage hardware for your data and can help reduce power consumption needs.

For the middleware, Valogx incorporates IBM WebSphere as the integration software platform. It includes the entire middleware infrastructure -- such as servers, services, and tools--needed to write, run, and monitor 24x7 industrial-strength, on demand Web applications and cross-platform, cross-product solutions. WebSphere provides reliable, flexible, and robust integration software.

IBM server products integrate Linux with best of breed virtualization technologies, including VMWare and Xen-based virtualization for System x and BladeCenter (x86/x64 based processors), Advanced Power Virtualization (APV) on Power Systems and BladeCenter, and z/VM on IBM System z mainframes.

Valogix Planner V8 Edition runs on many platforms and hardware configurations, including the following:

  • IBM Power Systems™: The POWER technology simply performs - whatever task you throw at it.
