Announced to the UK at the Very Large Database Conference & Exhibition in Brighton last week was an OEM agreement between Pyramid Technology and database specialists Sybase Inc of Berkeley, California. Pyramid is to sell and support Sybase’s relational database management system for on-line transaction processing applications. Sybase runs across a variety of operating systems, but company President Mark Hoffman said Unix has now emerged as an important departmental and mid-size system standard in the commercial market – to be part of that market we selected Pyramid as our high-end platform. Pyramid will be offering hardware and software support for Sybase as well as setting up a set of database training courses for customers.
