EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

     IBM's DataHub for UNIX Operating Systems provides administrators
     powerful functions to manage a variety of databases on a variety of
     UNIX operating system platforms -- all from a single point of
     control.  As your business expands and diversifies, your
     administrators are faced with the challenge of managing multiple
     vendor databases, remote as well as local, on different hardware
     and software platforms.  DataHub for UNIX OS answers these
     challenges by administering your database systems efficiently and
     effectively.



HIGHLIGHTS AND BENEFITS

     o Management of multi-vendor, multi-platform database environments

       DataHub for UNIX OS fully exploits the facilities of the RDBMSs
       it manages.  DataHub for UNIX OS supports the following
       relational databases:
       -- Oracle
       -- Sybase
       -- DB2/6000 (AIX only)

       on the following UNIX operating system platforms:
       -- AIX
       -- HP-UX
       -- Solaris System

     o Remote database and systems management

       Database and operating systems management tasks can be performed
       on local as well as remote systems and databases.  DataHub for
       UNIX OS is a cost-effective solution that scales from single
       server LANs, to large, multiple server networks, to entire
       distributed operations.

     o Comprehensive database management functions

       DataHub for UNIX OS offers a robust set of database management
       functions for novice and experienced administrators.  From an
       intuitive graphical user interface, you can perform a wide
       variety of tasks, including:
       -- Display, create, change, copy and delete database objects
       -- Perform backup and recovery
       -- Display resource utilization
       -- Run startup and shutdown procedures
       -- Perform security management
       -- Display objects from heterogeneous databases on a single
          screen and perform actions on the set
       -- Define new database objects and actions to be performed
       -- Manage database configurations

     o Automated operations

       DataHub for UNIX OS has a sophisticated rule-based system that
       allows you to automate your database and system operations based
       on your business policies.  Intelligent watchdogs send
       notification of system and database events.  Network traffic is
       minimized through filtering of events, so only important
       information is reported.  You can take corrective actions based
       upon a combination of events across multiple platforms and
       database systems.  By correlating events from different systems,
       you can react intelligently to complex problems.

     o Single workstation control point with easy-to-use graphical user
       interface

       A single workstation can be used to manage all your database
       systems on any platform.  Your database management tools can be
       integrated seamlessly into the user interface, thus making it
       easier for your administrators to manage a complex database
       management system productively.  The intuitive graphical user
       interface -- where operations are point-and-click and drag-and-
       drop -- enables administrators to perform tasks easily, without
       having to know the details of the different database management
       systems.
