Time Machine® now available for AIX 6.1

Solution-Soft’s latest release allows users of AIX to continue effective date & time testing.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 09, 2009 — SolutionSoft Systems Inc, a global leader in virtual clock and time travel testing solutions officially released Time Machine for IBM's latest UNIX® platform, AIX Version 6.1 on Power Systems including System p & System i. 

Time Machine® is a patent-pending software application designed to facilitate testing and simulation of specified system dates and times without modifying or resetting the system clock.  This allows defined applications and users to run under any defined future date, past date or time zone desired while the underlying system time remains unchanged.  With this ability Time Machine proves itself as a powerful tool for performing "what-if" testing on systems resources and programs. Time Machine’s unique solution for user-based time morphing for Unix and Windows Servers allows test environments to simultaneously run up to 20,000 individually defined virtual clocks at once and supports both group and user level time offsets. 

“This latest version of Time Machine from Solution-Soft provides a contiguous product release and demonstrates our dedicated support for IBM's AIX line.” said Michael Morrison, Director of business development as Solution-Soft.  "We have numerous customers around the globe who rely on IBM's UNIX platform to meet their critical needs & who in-turn rely on our products to ensure that as the move their existing software applications to newer operating systems or develop new processes, that the date & time logic in their applications are guaranteed to behave correctly.  Time Machine provides the only tool for effective date testing in UNIX, Linux, and Windows and as such delivers the ability to test & deploy new applications with a certainty that they will behave as expected into the future.

About AIX 6.1
Businesses today need to maximize the return on investment in information technology. Their IT infrastructure should have the flexibility to quickly adjust to changing business computing requirements and scale to handle ever expanding workloads—without adding complexity. But just providing flexibility and performance isn’t enough; the IT infrastructure also needs to provide rock solid security and near-continuous availability and while managing energy and cooling costs.

These are just some of the reasons why more and more businesses are choosing the AIX operating system (OS) running on IBM systems designed with Power Architecture® technology. With its proven scalability, advanced virtualization, security, manageability and reliability features, the AIX OS is an excellent choice for building an IT infrastructure. And, AIX is the only operating system that leverages decades of IBM technology innovation designed to provide the highest level of performance and reliability of any UNIX operating system.

The newest version of AIX, Version 6.1, is binary compatible with previous versions of the AIX OS, including AIX 5L™ and even earlier versions of AIX. This means that applications that ran on earlier versions will continue to run on AIX 6.1—guaranteed.1 AIX 6.1 is an open standards-based UNIX OS that is designed to comply with the Open Group’s Single UNIX Specification Version 3.

Latest generation of IBM’s well-proven, scalable, open standards-based UNIX® operating system
Features for virtualization, security, availability and manageability designed to make AIX® 6 even more flexible, secure and available than previous versions
Built on IBM POWER6™ technology and virtualization to help deliver superior performance, increase system utilization and efficiency, provide for easy administration and reduce total costs
