IBM Corp’s DB2/6000 database will be available under Hewlett-Packard Co’s HP-UX from June 24, costing between $2,000 for two concurrent users to $149,000 for 256 concurrent users. A Solaris version for both Sparc and iAPX-86 hardware is due to go into beta in July and is scheduled to ship on April 1 1995. A client version is expected to ship next month under MS-DOS, Windows, AIX, OS/2, HP-UX, SunOS and Solaris – the HP-UX version supports all of the above environments too, except Solaris. IBM says it intends to sell and support both products itself.
