iAnywhere Customer Wins Highlight Demand for SQL Anywhere on Linux

iAnywhere Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), today announced that its market-leading data management and synchronization product, SQL Anywhere(R) Studio, is seeing ongoing adoption among customers using the Linux platform. Innovative companies such as ELMO ICT Solutions, Security Applications, Inc., and Servoy BV have deployed SQL Anywhere-powered applications on Linux, and are among thousands of leading companies worldwide that use SQL Anywhere to manage enterprise data in server, desktop, and
handheld devices.

"SQL Anywhere's traditional strengths, such as ease-of-use, robust reliability, high out-of-box performance, and support for open standards and multiple platforms perfectly complement the strengths of the Linux platform,
and re-inforce the idea that organizations should have a choice as to the technologies that run their systems," said Mike Paola, Director of Product Management at iAnywhere. "With SQL Anywhere's support for Linux -- from 64-bit or 32-bit server environments, down to handheld devices -- the choice and flexibility we provide for our customers is greater than ever."

By choosing SQL Anywhere Studio as the data management solution for their applications, software vendors utilize a powerful, low administration database that simplifies software development and deployment across multiple platforms.

ELMO ICT Solutions
ELMO ICT Solutions is a mobile software market leader in the care sector. More than 15,000 users in approximately 35 care institutions benefit daily from their solutions. MobiCare is the benchmark system from ELMO ICT Solutions for the integration of and access to back office data for various groups of mobile and other users.

"Since our solution runs on various types of devices, such as PDAs, i-mode/smartphones and barcode scanners, and must integrate with our back end Linux systems, the cross-platform support and flexibility provided by SQL Anywhere is critical to the success of our solution," said Frank Imholz, CEO of ELMO ICT Solutions. "With more than 10,000 MobiCare users, SQL Anywhere continues to provide secure, reliable, transactional management of sensitive client data."

Security Applications, Inc. (SAI)
Since 1982, SAI has developed products for physical security, including video surveillance, access control, alarm monitoring, and other security related applications. Their success is demonstrated by customers such as
Verizon, the largest door access control system in the world; and Fort Monmouth, the most secure Army Base in the USA. These and many more customers large and small have recognized the vast functionality, unlimited growth, simple user interface, and low cost of SAI systems. SAI's product called SAI/Security Manager is the most advanced security management software in the physical security industry.

"SQL Anywhere gives us high performance search capabilities for timely reporting on large volumes of transactions, while enabling us to run stored procedures and triggers on Linux and Windows deployments without duplicating logic for each platform," said David Swartz, Vice President, Security Applications, Inc.

Servoy BV
Servoy is known for its powerful Servoy application development and deployment environment. With Servoy, developers can build Java front-ends, reporting applications and data entry solutions linked to SQL-based databases in minutes -- without having to write any SQL code. Servoy applications can be deployed with zero installation to Linux, Solaris, Macintosh OS X, and Windows.

"Embedded in our Servoy Developer solution, SQL Anywhere fully supports our mission of creating flexible, powerful tools that enable developers to write reliable, cross-platform applications," said Servoy CEO, Jan Aleman. "SQL Anywhere is ideal for our customers who have chosen Linux for its high performance and reliability, and yet expect a solution that is easy to use and requires little maintenance."
