Pervasive Customers Can Now Deploy Mission-Critical Pervasive Software-Based Applications on the Robust, Scalable Solaris Operating Environment
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 23, 1999-- Pervasive Software Inc.® (Nasdaq:PVSW - news), a leading provider of software that delivers the freedom to create applications for everyone, everywhere, today announced shipment of Tango(TM) 2000 Application Server and Pervasive.SQL(TM) 2000 Server software for the Solaris(TM) Operating Environment from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Today's announcement expands Pervasive's platform offerings for its Tango 2000 and Pervasive.SQL 2000 product families across many of today's leading versions of Unix, including Red Hat Linux, Caldera OpenLinux, SuSE Linux and now Sun's Solaris Operating Environment. The platform expansion adds to Pervasive's existing support for Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Windows CE, Novell NetWare, and Mac OS, as well as such leading real-time operating systems as Wind River Vx Works and QNX Neutrino. Web, Java and database software developers can now deploy their Tango 2000 and Pervasive.SQL 2000 based applications on Solaris 7, Sun's true 64-bit Operating Environment, as well as on the 32-bit Solaris 2.6 Operating Environment.
''Sun is pleased that Pervasive Software's latest products will support the Solaris Operating Environment, the most universal and trustworthy platform available,'' said Rich Green, vice president, Solaris Products Group, Sun Microsystems. ''Pervasive's Tango 2000 Application Server and Pervasive.SQL 2000 Server software powered by the highly available and scalable Solaris Operating Environment offer our mutual customers the ability to develop and deploy mission-critical applications that meet the increasing demands of business.''
''Pervasive's Tango 2000 Application Server for Solaris provides us with the enabling technology to quickly develop and deploy our application,'' said Jeff Shukis, chief technology officer of Promptu, a leading, San Jose-based provider of Web-based solutions for corporate and channel marketing. ''The new clustering and Java features have made Tango 2000 and Solaris the preferred platform for deploying the Promptu application suite to our largest clients.''
Designed to accelerate time to market for scalable, cross-platform Web and e-business deployments, Tango 2000 Application Server for Solaris includes a comprehensive set of ODBC drivers and allows developers to integrate JavaScript, Perl Scripts, Java Classes and JavaBeans in Tango-based solutions.
''We are excited that Pervasive's database engine, Pervasive.SQL 2000, is now available for Sun's Solaris Operating Environment because it will enable us to deploy mission-critical database applications for the high-performance, scalable Solaris Operating Environment,'' said Andre Paquette, president of Informatel, a leading provider of integrated software solutions for the publishing industry, based in Montreal, Quebec. ''The Pervasive.SQL database engines embedded in our modular software packages for publishers enable extremely low cost of ownership, and now we can extend this benefit to customers operating in Solaris.''
A zero-administration database engine, Pervasive.SQL 2000 Server for Sun's Solaris Operating Environment simplifies the development and deployment of mission-critical, e-business applications across multiple platforms, from the desktop to the Web. Pervasive's server products for Solaris extend the benefits of Sun's 64-bit operating environment directly to Pervasive's developer community. Pervasive developers can benefit from the increased power, scalability and cost effectiveness that Sun's Solaris platform brings to enterprise solutions.
''The Solaris versions of Tango 2000 Application Server and Pervasive.SQL 2000 Server provide our customers and partners with a new level of performance and scalability for their Solaris-based applications,'' said Ron Harris, president and CEO of Pervasive Software. ''The Solaris versions of our server software leverage the power and scalability of Sun's Solaris Operating Environment, as well as the Sun UltraSPARC processor platform, to enable fast deployment of high-end applications. We've had tremendous feedback from the developer community backing our decision to support Sun's Solaris Operating Environment. We listened and responded by adding a powerful enterprise platform to Pervasive's wide range of supported environments for network computing.''
