“The companies said they plan to work together to provide more
choices for customers who want to implement MySAP.com Internet
business solutions and IBM’s DB2 Universal Database on a variety of
hardware platforms, including Windows 2000, Sun Microsystems,
Linux, Windows NT and IBM’s RS/6000, AS/400 and S/390
platforms.”

“Now, IBM joins Oracle as one of SAP’s preferred suppliers–with
SAP committing to using its DB2 database on IBM, Sun and Linux
platforms for internal development and production systems within
SAP.”
