In the early 1900′s, San Francisco’s destination shipping industry created a market for durable dockworker jackets. Golden Bear jackets kept the longshoremen warm on cold and foggy San Francisco nights. In the ’1950s, Golden Bear introduced their iconic bomber, motorcycle, and varsity jackets, which made the brand so sought after that they eventually designed custom jackets for rock legends like the Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and the Doobie Brothers. Decades later, the company still crafts classic, vintage impeccably designed American styled pieces in their original Mission District factory.
IBM Informix is a product family within IBM's Information Management division that centered on several relational database management system offerings. The Informix products were originally developed by Informix Corporation, whose Informix Software subsidiary was acquired by IBM in 2001. IBM has continued active development and marketing of the key Informix products. The Informix database has been used in many high transaction rate applications in the retail, finance, energy and utilities, manufacturing and transportation sectors. More recently the server has been enhanced to support data warehouse workloads. The powerful new generation of technology revolving around the proliferation of connected devices known as the "Internet of Things“ is transforming the way we live and do business. Harnessing data from billions of devices depends on the ability to store, access and query all data together, seamlessly, for speed-of-thought insight and local decision making.
In September 1996, Informix Software released the first version of its new object-relational database management system to developers and partners. This system, called the INFORMIX Universal Server, supported a new way of building and deploying database applications. Developers could write software modules, called DataBlade extensions, that extended the database server with knowledge of new types and operations.
