LinuxAid.com.cn Site Live Information: Sybase In order to attract customers who seek low-cost DBMS alternatives, the free Adaptive Server Enterprise Express Edition product is available to Linux recently.
Sybase proudly said that this also makes the company a company that provides a free product license to an enterprise Linux database. Of course, there must be a premise for free using this product: the system can only have one processor, the maximum 5GB of data storage space. Users can test and apply a variety of new applications within this range.
If the user wants to receive services including telephone technical support, formulate support consultants, at least $ 2200 annually.
Noel Yuhanna, senior analyst of Forrester Research, believes that Sybase is in order to compete with Mysql and Microsoft compete for small and medium-sized users. Currently, companies generally choose to use mysql or Ingres dbms, the latter is an open source product launched by CA. In general, customers are more concerned about cost issues. Free is a nice choice reason. But the 5GB spatial limit will give some customers to give up. YuHanna believes that if it is expanded to 10GB or 20GB, the situation will be very different.
