Businesses today are awash in a growing flood of data, and the efficiency with which they manage and use that data will be an increasingly important factor in determining their competitive success. Companies with a flexible, high-performance information infrastructure will be able to adapt their core applications—and their core businesses processes—faster and with less effort.
Sybase ASE 15 running on Linux and Itanium-based servers offers a valuable resource in this endeavor. Sybase ASE is an enterprise-class database that has proven its worth for many years in some of the world’s most extreme and demanding environments, such as the New York City Financial District, where it plays a key role across some of the world’s busiest stock exchanges. Sybase ASE is optimized to deliver the same high levels of performance, scalability and availability on the Linux operating system as it does on more costly and proprietary UNIX OSs.
Itanium-based servers add to this value, by delivering comparable scalability, availability and flexibility at the hardware level. These systems are available in configurations ranging from small 2-processor servers to mainframe-class systems with up to 64 processors (128 cores) and up to 2TB of system memory. These features enable businesses to consolidate larger databases onto fewer, more resilient servers, to simplify their infrastructure, reduce total costs, and provide a flexible and scalable foundation for growth within their data center.
This white paper describes the growing pressures on the data infrastructure of today’s businesses, and discusses the overall IT and business value of Sybase ASE 15 running on Linux and Itanium-based servers.
