Plenary Session: Sybase Steps Further into the Cloud — Scaling Data Management in SaaS Applications

The adoption of cloud computing is demonstrating it has a highly disruptive and positive impact for many companies and is expected to greatly affect application delivery architectures over the next decade. To realize the benefits of the cloud, application developers and IT departments need to rethink how information is accessed, deployed and managed. Sybase is taking critical steps to enable application providers to manage information in the cloud. Learn about trends among Sybase customers and ISVs, key Sybase cloud initiatives across the database portfolio, and the unveiling of Sybase's newest offering. Code named 'Fuji', this new cloud data platform addresses the challenge of giving SaaS providers a scalable and manageable solution that also meets data governance demands of their business customers.

Plenary Session: Innovating the Future with Sybase Data Management

At last year's TechWave, SAP had just completed the acquisition of Sybase. At the time, customers were cautiously optimistic, but had questions about Sybase's future. Join Sybase's product and technology leaders a year later as we report on what has turned out to be one of the most innovative and productive years EVER in Sybase's 25-year history! In this plenary, we highlight our innovations designed to invest in the future of your company and your career, including the introduction of the newest release of our flagship RDBMS, ASE 15.7, which features capabilities that will benefit developers and DBAs alike. This ASE release is also the first to be certified to run SAP's Business Suite applications — an event that is renewing an eco-system on which many of you depend. Discover the latest innovations in data movement technologies with Replication Server as well as the latest advancements of SQL Anywhere 12, our leading Mobile and Embedded RDBMS. Finally, we will introduce Sybase's newest offering, a cloud data platform code named 'Fuji', addresses the challenge of giving SaaS providers a scalable and manageable solution that also meets data governance demands of their business customers. Come, celebrate with us, and see first-hand why engineers who have been with Sybase since the early days are so energized about our future.
