ext4 goes mainstream
If you’ve been following several Linux-related news sites lately — I usually check slashdot.org every morning for starters –, you’ve probably noticed that ext4, the successor to ext3 (and, dont’ forget, ext3 is the default filesystem for most Linux distributions right now) has gone mainstream and been accepted in to the latest Linux kernel. [...]
Bradmark Surveillance for ASE Cluster Edition
In case you missed it, Bradmark and Sybase ran a webcast covering Cluster Edition enhancements to Bradmark’s Surveillance product. The webcast had some slideware but also featured a live demo. Check it out:

Sometimes it’s the simple things that cause the biggest headaches
I just got back in the states a few days ago (I was “down under” doing a Proof of Concept with ASE Cluster Edition). All in all, things went very well and the product continues to operate exactly as described. Administration is easy, failover works well, the workload manager is simple to [...]
I’m going to OpenSource World!
Howdy everyone,
Recently I submitted a few abstracts to speak at OpenSource World (scheduled to be held August 12-13, 2009 in San Francisco) … and what do you know? One was accepted. And what, you may ask, will I be speaking about?
Well, virtualization is a hot topic these days, and as I meet with [...]
Sybase Control Center released
I’ve been playing with this for awhile, and some of you may have seen it at TechWave 2008 in Las Vegas, but Sybase Control Center (SCC) was released last week. I just downloaded the GA version today and got it all setup (I had a beta version, and IMHO it’s always good to do [...]
The movement towards filesystem-based devices
There is a question that I see coming up more and more often — in fact, it even came up internally last week, and it concerns devices within ASE (and really, even Replication Server’s stable queue devices).
Simply put, the question is “Is it better to use raw partitions, or should I use filesystem-based [...]
Sybase recognized as an Enterprise Database leader by an independent research firm
As an employee of Sybase, I’m always surprised that folks I meet in my daya to day technical job & travels, still only think of Sybase as a Database company. Oh, how wrong you are!
It has been true for many years (probably about 12 at least) that Sybase does a lot more and this [...]
Linux and filesystem types
OK, so I know I promised everyone a whitepaper, and was supposed to do a webcast on this a few months back (it will still happen, trust me). But, there has been some traffic on the newsgroups and on the linux-sybase list concerning filesystem types, which to use, and which works better in certain [...]
A Post About ASE Cluster Edition
Hello everyone, and a Happy New Year (even if it is a few weeks after the 1st of the year)!!
Well, so far this year has been just as busy as last year … the interest in ASE Cluster Edition is strong and growing stronger. Even this early in the year I’m being asked [...]
ASE 15.5 and In-Memory Databases
As one of my colleagues recently pointed out in his blog, ASE 15.5 was released late last year. It’s designed to be a “binary replacement” or “off-the-shelf replacement” for ASE 15.0.x, meaning that there is no major upgrade process, and you won’t get a slew of new directories underneath your $SYBASE installation — it [...]
