Novell Linux Appliances Boost Ingres over MySQL

“Novell is expanding its SUSE Linux Appliance program by way of
a new partnership with database vendor Ingres. The partnership is
an effort to let ISVs rapidly package and deploy Linux based
software appliances with the Ingres database.

“Prior to the partnership, SUSE Studio Appliance program could
have enabled developers and ISVs to build their own Linux powered
appliances including a database, though it might have been a more
time-consuming process according to Novell.

“”This is the next logical step in the appliance program to work
with partners to build out an ecosystem around software
appliances,” Matt Richards, director of emerging technology at
Novell, told InternetNews.com. “From our perspective, this expands
the applicability of our appliance program from a very generic to a
very specific Ingres use-case.”
