FUELING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DATA ANALYTICS
Coming in the second half of 2007, Sybase IQ will be certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Sybase IQ, a highly optimized analytics server, handles the most challenging data warehousing requirements with ease, meeting the demand for business intelligence, advanced analytics, predictive modeling, stringent regulation compliance and fast reporting. Compatible with standard hardware, operating systems and leading analytics applications, Sybase IQ offers extraordinarily high performance at a fraction of the cost of alternatives. Designed from the start for analytics, Sybase IQ produces its incredible results because of a unique architecture combining a column-based data structure with patented indexing and a scalable grid. The more pressurized the requirements – hundreds or thousands of concurrent users, complex ad hoc queries, very high data volumes and a high rate of change – the more customers notice Sybase IQ’s strengths. Sybase IQ also provides a reduction in disk and CPU requirements compared to traditional database management systems, which have to be retrofitted to support data warehousing and analytics.

ALL DELIVERED WITH SEAMLESS SUPPORT
As a basic foundation, Sybase and Red Hat are both members of TSANet (Technical Support Alliance Network). In addition to this first line of support, Sybase has committed to Red Hat’s new Cooperative Resolution Center to provide higher levels of seamless support.

Red Hat and Sybase will create joint labs, increase end-to-end testing, do cross support training, and create defined escalation procedures. The Resolution Center will enable customers to experience the benefits of the close, collaborative partnerships that Red Hat has established with other leading technology providers by having a quicker route to resolution. Red Hat will work with the support staff of the customer's vendors to solve a problem, regardless of whether or not Red Hat software was the cause.
