Enterprise infrastructure and mobile software provider Sybase (NYSE:SY) has unveiled the new Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Cluster Edition. This edition features patent-pending Virtualized Resource Management (VRM) technology, which simplifies database application deployment across a shared disk server cluster, helping customers meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for performance and availability, while reducing hardware and power costs.
ASE Cluster Edition allows companies to maintain optimal service levels through system failures, peak loads and downtime for planned maintenance; consolidate database workloads running from underutilized hardware onto a smaller number of machines; and reduce infrastructure costs by replacing expensive hardware with a grid of low-cost servers that delivers the same service levels.
"ASE Cluster Edition brings unparalleled availability and resource optimization to a database platform already known for its superior performance, reliability and low total cost of ownership," Dr. Raj Nathan, chief marketing officer at Sybase, said in a statement. "Customers in areas such as financial services, telecommunications, retail and government have turned to ASE because it handles extreme transactions in OLTP (online transaction processing) environments ranging from small and midsize databases to very large database systems with rock solid reliability."
