SANTA CLARA, Calif. and DUBLIN, Calif., May 11 -- Sun Microsystems and Sybase, Inc. announced that they have extended their alliance to include Sybase support for the Solaris Operating System (OS) on the x64 platform. Through this agreement, Sun and Sybase will collaborate on joint development and performance engineering activities to help customers with their migrations to cost-effective computing platforms. Sybase plans to provide support for the Solaris OS on the x64 platform in its Adaptive Server Enterprise, Sybase IQ and Adaptive Server Anywhere data management solutions.
"This agreement is all about choice and flexibility," said Stephen Borcich, vice president of Partner Marketing for Sun Microsystems. "This is particularly true for financial services companies, who can choose highly scalable SPARC(R) systems from Sun and others, Sun's new cost competitive x64 Opteron(TM) Systems, or x86 systems from over 275 hardware partners certified to run Solaris 10."
"Sun is a valuable partner and Sybase data management solutions on the Solaris 10 OS/ x64 platform are excellent alternatives for enterprises seeking scalability and price-performance," said Herman Li, vice president of Engineering, Sybase. "A number of our financial services, government and healthcare customers have expressed interest in a move to x64. Our goal for extending to the x64 platform is to offer customers the widest range of options available for the efficient management and delivery of enterprise data, which is a core component of the Unwired Enterprise."
Key Sybase products including Sybase ASE, Sybase IQ, Adaptive Server Anywhere Studio, Replication Server, and Open Client Server will be certified on Solaris10 OS /x64.
Products are expected to be available from Sybase in Q4 of this year.
