Interbase 6.0 Ships with Cobalt Networks RaQ 4r

Inprise/Borland announced that InterBase 6.0 is shipping with Cobalt Network's RaQ 4r, its fourth generation server appliance for Internet and application service providers. InterBase 6.0, the new open source version of Inprise/Borland's high-performance, structured query language (SQL) database, enables Cobalt RaQ 4r users to quickly and easily develop and deploy business-critical, Internet-based applications.

"As a robust, scalable, open source database, InterBase is a perfect complement to Cobalt's RaQ 4 products," said Mark Orr, vice-president of business development and co-founder, Cobalt Networks Inc. "With the proven performance of InterBase, Cobalt developers and customers are now able to easily and quickly 'appliantize' their database applications, allowing them to deliver these solutions pre-configured with Cobalt's server appliance platform."

InterBase, well known for its low-maintenance, enterprise-class relational database management system (RDMS), offers a powerful, reliable, easy-to-use solution for customers. As part of RaQ 4r's full suite of Internet and application services, InterBase 6.0 will help facilitate the deployment of applications and layered services over the Web.
