Sybase and Red Hat First to Announce Plans to Deliver Database Appliance that Supports Red Hat RHEL 5 with Virtualization

For the first time, enterprises will get the flexibility of on-demand IT resource management combined with the industry's best data management solutions for Linux. Sybase and Red Hat join together to provide next generation information management appliances on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with the integrated virtualization required for maximum database performance. Sybase ASE's attractive price point, performance and innovative technology combined with Red Hat's leadership in Linux will unlock incredible cost savings and enhance manageability without sacrificing enterprise-class performance and reliability.

With the Sybase/Red Hat partnership customers will get:

  • Seamless delivery, eliminating the need for separate OS and database installation and patches
  • Lower installation, configuration and maintenance costs associated with running complex software stacks
  • Incredible value of Red Hat Advanced Platform with integrated server, storage and network virtualization as well as local and web-based manageability
  • Seamless customer support through Red Hat's Cooperative Resolution Center
  • A database appliance certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with virtualization

Later, the partnership will also produce an analytic server appliance certifying Sybase IQ on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with virtualization.

Partnership Highlights:


INTRODUCING THE ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE DATABASE APPLIANCE

Sybase and Red Hat are pleased to present the Adaptive Server Enterprise database appliance, the next step in cost effective enterprise data management. This streamlined combination of data manager, operating system, cluster file system, and system virtualization allows easy management of database loads while lowering costs. With a common, certified set of system layers, with combined system maintenance procedures and tools, the Adaptive Server Enterprise database appliance simplifies installation and management saving valuable time.

FUELING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DATA ANALYTICS

Coming in the second half of 2007, Sybase IQ will be certified as an appliance for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Sybase IQ, a highly optimized analytics server, handles the most challenging data warehousing requirements with ease, meeting enterprise demands for business intelligence, advanced analytics, predictive modeling, stringent regulation compliance and fast reporting. Compatible with standard hardware, operating systems and leading analytics applications, Sybase IQ offers extraordinarily high performance at a fraction of the cost. Specifically designed for analytics, Sybase IQ delivers incredible results thanks to a unique architecture that combines a column-based data structure with patented indexing and a scalable grid. The more pressurized the requirements - hundreds (or thousands) of concurrent users, complex ad hoc queries, very high data volumes, or a high rate of change - the more noticable Sybase IQ's strengths. Sybase IQ also uses less disk space and CPU time than traditional database management systems, which often have to be retrofitted to support data warehousing and analytics.

ALL DELIVERED WITH SEAMLESS SUPPORT

Sybase has joined Red Hat's new Cooperative Resolution Center to provide higher levels of seamless support. Red Hat has simplified the standard support Service Level Agreements (SLA), by creating a joint customer support center to solve issues, regardless of whether it's Red Hat technology or a partner solution. The Center enables customers to enjoy the benefits of the close, collaborative partnerships that Red Hat has established with other leading technology providers giving them the most direct route to resolution. Red Hat will work with the support staff of the customer's vendors to solve a problem, regardless of whether or not Red Hat software was the cause.
