Pyramid Technology Inc has signed a strategic marketing agreement with Informix Corp of Menlo Park, California, which will allow Pyramid to resell Informix database and office automation software on its range of RISC-based superminis. Under the agreement, a full-time engineer from Pyramid will work at Informix, implementing the software and fine-tuning it to Pyramid’s multiprocessor architecture in conjunction with the company’s porting and research and development groups. Seven Informix products are currently running on Pyramid hardware, including Informix-Turbo, which according to Pyramid performs particularly well on our multiprocessor systems. The SmartWare line of business software is scheduled to be ported to Pyramid’s top-end Series 9000-TA family of multiprocessor RISC machines early next year.
