Sybase has released Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Cluster Edition, the new enterprise data management product that enables deployment of a database application across a shared disk server cluster environment.

Sybase said that by providing dynamic resource management for a virtualised database environment, the new data management product allows enterprises to meet customer service level agreements (SLAs) of their databases for availability.

Sybase claims that the new data management product’s features provide enabling technologies to ease manageability and improve availability in grid and cloud computing environments.

According to Sybase, the new data management product features include: integration with Veritas Storage Foundation and Veritas Cluster Server and support for VMware cloud computing environments; to allow cluster support at remote sites if a primary site goes down; to allow each node to be installed independently and enables independent maintenance of each node.

Josh Kahn, vice president for product management of storage and availability management group at Symantec, said: “Together, Symantec and Sybase are delivering a truly integrated database and storage clustering solution to joint customers.

The combination of Sybase’s ASE Cluster Edition database and Veritas Storage Foundation for Sybase ASE CE empowers customers with significant improvements in performance, availability and data management.”
