Hoping to steal some of Oracle Corp’s thunder, Informix Software Inc says its parallel database query technology, implemented as Informix-OnLine Dynamic Server 7.0, will be up on 11 symmetric multiprocessing systems from September: AT&T Global, Data General Corp, Digital Equipment Corp, Hewlett-Packard Corp, IBM Corp, Motorola Inc, Pyramid Technology Corp, Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG, Sun Microsystems Inc and Unisys Corp. It’s already up on Sequent Computer Systems Inc symmetric multiprocessing systems. The database query technology is part of Informix’s multithreaded Dynamic Scalable Architecture which will be enhanced in OnLine Dynamic server 8.0 due to test from the end of the year. It will be available by mid-1995 for clustered and massively parallel systems.
