BMC AMI Data vs. Oracle Coherence

BMC AMI Data mainframe products are well suited to mature mainframe environments staffed by experienced IT professionals who know and understand the database environments they're operating in. Those same products are less suited environments with staff whose primary experiences are with distributed platforms where there's less hands on work and a reliance on 'point and click' tools.

It literally all boils down to the budget a team has. Nowadays, even investment banks look for every opportunity to cut cost.

Oracle Coherence support team is responsive and knowledgeable. We contacted them to ask a couple of design questions about how we were setting up Oracle Coherence based on how we used IBM's Datapower Extreme Scale. They were able to guide us so that we got the design correct the first time and didn't have to go back and re-architect our design later.

It is not my choice, management do. And I was very happy because i used BMC suite for almost 25 years, so a deep knowledge, helps in doing stuff. I used Broadcom in 2 shops, but for very short periods.
