Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG is readying version 2.2 of its UTM Unix transaction processing monitor for release in the second quarter of this year. The monitor, little heard of outside Germany, enables Oracle Corp and Informix Corp database packages to run as hardware-independent applications in client-server mode, according to Siemens Nixdorf. Originally developed for the company’s BS2000 mainframes, UTM is now being converted to run on Silicon Graphics Inc’s Indigo Unix system range and is already available on IBM Corp’s RS/6000 and Hewlett-Packard Co’s HP9000 machines. Siemens Nixdorf says that it has no plans to license the product to other vendors, although UTM will interoperate with other transaction processing monitors supporting OSI/TP protocols.
