Overland Park, KS — (press release) — Informix Corporation has announced the release of Linux versions of two key products: Foundation.2000, for Internet data and content management; and Cloudscape, a Java database for embeddable systems and distributed e-Business applications. Foundation.2000 and Cloudscape on Linux enable developers and users to develop and deploy high performance, next generation… Web-based applications “that scale from the smallest devices to enterprise class systems.”

Foundation.2000 helps companies reduce new Internet application development cycles, simplifying the migration of existing applications to the Internet, and lowering the overall cost of ownership for enterprise software applications. Cloudscape, Informix's 100 percent pure Java database, can be embedded in single or multi-user applications as a local data manager, and provides all the advantages of Java, including its “write once, run anywhere” implementation.

“We are fully committed to the Linux marketplace, as demonstrated by the port of the latest releases of our flagship products to the Linux platform. Informix was the first to deliver a commercially available database engine on Linux, and now is extending its lead by offering these latest releases of products that are scalable, reliable, and affordable,” said Dr. Brian Staff, director of product marketing. “This is the first in a series of significant open source-related announcements Informix will be making in the coming months.”
