SAN FRANCISCO, LinuxWorld, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iAnywhere Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc.

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.

"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.
