VERITAS Software has announced the release of VERITAS Database Edition 1.3 for Sybase. The new product, an integrated suite aimed at simplifying management and optimising management performance and availability of Sybase dataservers, now supports the latest release of Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, version 12.0. It successfully underwent joint validation testing by Sybase and VERITAS Software to ensure data integrity for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.0. Sybase certification assures the customer of successful integration of VERITAS Database Edition for Sybase with existing Sybase dataservers. The new version of the suite provides the customer with many new features including online file system and disk administration and accelerated file system recovery while delivering high performance for online transaction processing and e-business environments.

"Companies are consistently faced with exponentially growing amounts of data and are challenged by how to best manage that data to extend their competitive position," says Nick van Noordwyk, regional manager, Middle East and Africa at VERITAS Software.

VERITAS Database Edition 1.3 for Sybase offers an integrated, out-of-the box storage management solution that delivers the performance of raw devices with the manageability of file systems through its Quick I/O feature. It includes VERITAS Volume Manager and VERITAS File System, for continuous availability of Sybase dataservers by eliminating the need for servers to be taken off-line for backup and maintenance.

To further increase availability, VERITAS Database Edition/HA for Sybase adds VERITAS Cluster Server to provide flexible, easy-to-configure application availability, and VERITAS Cluster Server Agent for Sybase to detect Sybase instance failure and initiate failover to keep mission critical databases continuously available.
