"Informix's relationship with JBS provides an excellent opportunity to expand our reach to the growing commercial Linux environment," said Janet Smith, director, product marketing and management at Informix. "This partnership should be the first of many as we see Linux embraced throughout the enterprise. These new relationships and product offerings place us in the forefront of the effort to see Linux as a commercial solution, and allows Informix to forge its position as a leader in this market."

"Over the past few months, major application vendors such as Informix have recognized Linux as a suitable platform for servers. Our adoption of Linux allows us to offer our VARs quality solutions with a lower total cost of ownership."
