Sybase, Red Hat Announce Extended Alliance

Sybase, a provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, and Red Hat, a provider of open source solutions, have announced plans for an expanded partnership, which will include the delivery of a database appliance based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with integrated virtualisation.

Integrated virtualisation claims to enable the flexibility of on-demand resource management, and provide a substantial increase in the performance of database systems. Sybase’s enterprise-class database, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), will seamlessly leverage on-line migration and high availability capabilities when running on the Red Hat Advanced Platform.

In addition, the two companies are announcing plans for Sybase to become a member of the Red Hat Cooperative Resolution Centre, which will allow the parties to have joint labs, end-to-end testing, cross support training and defined escalation procedures.
