IBM's eServer group plays an active role in defining and executing on MicroStrategy's Unix strategy. The first phase of this effort was completed in the fourth quarter of 2000 with the release of the Java version of the MicroStrategy Software Development Kit (SDK), which is certified to run with IBM's WebSphere on AIX. Through the SDK, MicroStrategy added support for Linux on IBM's OS/390. The next milestone was the delivery of MicroStrategy's Web-based functionality on AIX, which results in significantly improved performance measures for business intelligence and enables customers to leverage their existing AIX administrative expertise. The culmination of this effort will be the upcoming release of an IBM AIX operating system-certified version of MicroStrategy Intelligence Server. "We are delighted with MicroStrategy's commitment to release their core product platform on IBM's fast growing AIX operating system. The strength of both the MicroStrategy and AIX platforms will provide organizations with unsurpassed application performance. We chose to invest in this effort as we know that our mutual customers stand to greatly benefit from our combined technology." Mike Kerr, IBM Vice-President, Customer Set Marketing of IBM's eServer Group |
