Hi Ruth, I forgot to answer your x64 question...
Yes, we have plans to add x64 support in 2006. Of course, I must give the standard disclaimer... This is a *target* and IBM reserves the right to change plans. Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruth Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> 11/09/2005 12:26 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU cc Subject Re: Data Protection for SQL 5.2.1.03 - Adds SQL Server 2005 Support Del, This is great news. Do you have an estimate how long it'll be before the IA64 MS hotfix and patch make their way into production (a couple of weeks, months)? I'm just trying to plan for a new IA64 SQL 2005 deployment (which I was hoping to roll out next week). Also, is there any support for X64 platforms? Thanks. --Ruth Mitchell Cornell Theory Center -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Del Hoobler Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 8:47 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Data Protection for SQL 5.2.1.03 - Adds SQL Server 2005 Support Who: Data Protection for SQL customers running on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 What: Yesterday, Microsoft officially launched SQL Server 2005.
