Commercial Data Servers announced today a marketing partnership with Macro 4 to provide DUMPMASTER MVS, a complete dump analysis and fault diagnosis product, as a standard product offering shipped with every CDS 2000 Enterprise Server.
The new bundled product offering will enhance CDS customer capability to meet the challenges faced when undertaking Year 2000 testing and data conversion projects.
The Macro 4 - Commercial Data Servers relationship gives customers a free 30-day trial before making a purchasing decision. CDS customers purchasing Macro 4 will receive a special entry system level price, the lowest available for mainframe computer users of the DUMPMASTER product.
