Sybase, Inc. has introduced Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15 to meet the increasing demands of large databases and high transaction volumes, while providing a cost effective database management system.

Sybase ASE Express Edition for Linux is the first enterprise-class commercial database that can take you from pilot to deployment for zero dollars and zero risk. You can develop a pilot project on Linux without cost or risk AND without scrimping on performance or manageability. Since it’s an industrial-strength data management platform, you'll be able to handle growth and evolving requirements without painful, expensive upgrades.

ASE 15’s key features include on-disk encryption, smart partitions and new, patent-pending query processing technology that has demonstrated a significant increase in performance, as well as enhanced support for unstructured data management. ASE is a high-performance, mission-critical database management system that gives Sybase customers an operational advantage by lowering costs and risks.
