The company was founded in 2002 and released its vanguard product, T-REX, that same year. Dino-Software is known primarily for its specialist capabilities in the z/OS mainframe environment. Their product portfolio includes VSAM record management, catalog, storage management and disaster recovery. Over time, Dino-Software engineers have authored over 25 products which have produced hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Many Fortune 500 companies who would prefer to remain nameless . . have been saved from complete melt downs by Dino-Software technology! In the mid 1980’s, Softworks, Inc., a privately held company in Clinton, Maryland, developed the world’s first ICF catalog back-up and recovery tool, “the Mechanic.” The product was later augmented by two additional modules and renamed “Catalog Solution®” in the 1990’s. It went on to become the industry standard for catalog management with several thousand licenses sold. In 2000, Softworks was acquired by EMC Corporation® for $192 million. The redundant employees, including all of the original Catalog Solution developers, subsequently formed Dino-Software. The new development teams included specialists from both the Performance and Storage groups. Their initial mission was to design and code a new catalog management product that eliminated the limitations of the old technology. They engineered the fastest, most comprehensive catalog management product available, “T-REX.” It rapidly went on to sell more copies, in less time, than any other catalog management product ever released. T-REX remains a substantial leap forward in ICF catalog technology. It contains the functionality of at least 6 stand-alone (separately priced) products in the market. Dino-Software Today Dino-Software followed this early success with an array of new, innovative products. Their products cover the areas of performance tuning, storage optimization, data and communications security, and z/OS storage management. They achieved the formula of producing superior product capability at reasonable cost, backed up by first class support from industry experts.
