Although their iAnywhere products dominate the mobile database landscape, Sybase remains stuck in the single digits in overall DBMS market share. Lately, they have been refocusing their efforts on enterprise integration and web services. Is this a good move, or the beginning of the end? In other words, whither Sybase?
As a Computer Weekly story pointed out last week, Sybase continues to release new versions of its DBMS Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) -- version 12.5.1 will ship this autumn. However, are these releases attracting any new customers or are they really meant for its legacy install base?
Sybase fans: now is your time to speak out. E-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and convince me that Sybase is still a worthy DBMS for the enterprise and that we should increase our Sybase coverage. Do you think Sybase is technically superior to Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server? It was once known for its super-high performance -- is that still the case? How can Sybase increase its paltry 2% market share: find a vertical market niche, implement some sort of technical revolution, or what? Or do you think that Sybase has been doomed ever since they sold their soul to Microsoft back in 1987?
For more background information about Sybase, check out our news and technical advice sections.
Till next time, Tim DiChiara, Editor
