IBM Corp seems to be trying to be as even-handed as possible in its relationships with its two favoured object database partners and after signing Servio Corp for its Gemstone for manufacturing applications the other day, it has turned back to Burlington, Massachusetts-based Ontos Inc, already an IBM Business Partner with its Ontos DB on the RS/6000 and the PS/2, naming the company as an Industry Application Specialist for the multimedia market. Ontos and IBM will jointly offer the Ontos DB on a national US level, primarily for the PS/2.
