Sybase Inc and Tivoli Systems Inc have joined forces to provide object-oriented applications for managing distributed database environments. Sybase is the first independent software vendor to license Tivoli’s ADE Advanced Development Environment toolkit. The Open Software Foundation and Unix International Inc as well as Sun Microsystems Inc are already using it as base technology. Sybase wants to use it to develop next-generation object-oriented point-and-click administration tools that will appear in Sybase Control Server products, as part of System 10, next year including SA Companion, SQL Monitor, Configurator and Back-up Server. Native versions of each will appear followed by a Tivoli-style edition.
